Couvade syndrome, also called sympathetic pregnancy, is a proposed condition in which an expectant father experiences some of the same symptoms and behavior as his pregnant partner. [1] These most often include major weight gain, altered hormone levels, morning nausea , and disturbed sleep patterns.
It was an incidental finding in a normal 44-year-old, 6 ft. [183 cm] tall man of average intelligence who was karyotyped because he had a daughter with Down syndrome. [33] Only a dozen isolated 47,XYY cases were reported in the medical literature in the four years following the first report by Sandberg.
To determine enlargement of testes (i.e., macroorchidism), the testes must be greater than the 95th percentile of the confidence interval in males after puberty. The 95th percentile means that a child's testicular size exceeds 95% of children similar in age. This rules out males with early puberty. Another symptom of macroorchidism is an ...
Use of ultrasound to measure the size of the fetus in the womb is controversial, as these methods are often inaccurate and may lead to unnecessary caesarian section; a trial of labour is often recommended even if size of the fetus is estimated to be large. [2] Theoretically, pelvimetry may identify cephalo-pelvic disproportion. However, a woman ...
Fetal macrosomia and LGA often do not present with noticeable patient symptoms. Important signs include large fundal height (uterus size) and excessive amniotic fluid (polyhydramnios). [6] Fundal height can be measured from the top of the uterus to the pubic bone and indicates that the newborn is likely large in volume. Excessive amniotic fluid ...
Treatment of this condition is very similar to treatment of non-gravid heart failure patients, however, safety of the fetus must be prioritized. For example, for anticoagulation due to increased risk for thromboembolism, low molecular weight heparin which is safe for use during pregnancy is used instead of warfarin which crosses the placenta.
“THE MOST OBVIOUS signs of male anxiety are the physical ones,” says Lindsay Israel, M.D., psychiatrist and chief medical officer at Success TMS. “Men might find themselves going to the ...
In addition to evaluating the fetal growth velocity, the fetus should primarily be monitored by ultrasonography every 3–4 weeks. [6] An additional monitoring technique is an Doppler velocimetry . Doppler velocimetry is useful in monitoring blood flow through the uterine and umbilical arteries, and may indicate signs of uteroplacental ...
