Eight common types of vaginal discharge are walked through in this educational video — what each one looks like, what it can indicate, and which changes deserve a medical visit. It connects discharge patterns to the menstrual cycle and common infections. Educational only — not medical advice.
This educational video presents Tiedang gong, a traditional Chinese exercise practice, in the context of erectile dysfunction and men's sexual health. It outlines the practice and how it is traditionally presented for this topic. Educational only — not medical advice, and not a substitute for evaluation by a clinician.
Normal discharge changes across the menstrual cycle; this educational explainer covers those patterns, the warning signs that can point to infection, and the symptoms that should prompt a doctor's visit. It also explains how discharge differs from other gynecological symptoms. Educational only — not medical advice.
A short dental case: this video documents the removal of worms found inside a patient's teeth during treatment, together with the cleaning of the affected area. It is presented for dental and medical education. Educational only — not medical advice.
A Cesarean section (C-section) is surgery to deliver a baby. The baby is taken out through the mother's abdomen. In the United States, almost one in three women has their babies this way. Some C-sections are planned, but many are done when unexpected problems happen during delivery. Reasons for a C-section may include Health problems in the mother The mother carrying more than one baby The size or position of the baby The baby's health is in danger Labor is not moving along as it should
Male urethral catheterization is demonstrated here using sterile technique, showing how a urinary catheter is passed into the bladder. The video is a procedure-skills resource for medical students, nurses, and clinicians. Procedure education only — not personal medical advice.
Embedded jigger fleas — the parasitic infection known as tungiasis — are removed step by step in this educational procedure video, which also shows the cleaning and dressing of the skin afterward. Presented for medical education. Educational only — not medical advice.
Hydrocele surgery — the operation that drains and repairs the fluid-filled sac around the testicle — is shown in this educational video. It outlines the main steps of the procedure for students and for patients learning about the condition. Procedure education only — not personal medical advice.
Beyond condoms: this educational video explains other ways to prevent pregnancy, including hormonal contraception, intrauterine devices, and fertility-awareness methods, and how each one works. Educational only — not medical advice; discuss contraception choices with your clinician.
Appendicitis is one of the most common surgical problems. One out of every 2,000 people has an appendectomy sometime during their lifetime. Treatment requires an operation to remove the infected appendix. Traditionally, the appendix is removed through an incision in the right lower abdominal wall. In most laparoscopic appendectomies, surgeons operate through 3 small incisions (each ¼ to ½ inch) while watching an enlarged image of the patient’s internal organs on a television monitor. In some cases, one of the small openings may be lengthened to complete the procedure.
This short clinical video demonstrates the repair of an episiotomy, the surgical incision sometimes made during vaginal delivery to enlarge the birth outlet. The suturing is shown step by step as it is performed after childbirth. It is a practical obstetric-skills resource for midwives, nurses, and medical students. Educational only — not medical advice.
Repair performed with the PROLIFT Pelvic Floor Repair System - the total implant. The objective of the PROLIFT procedure is to achieve a a complete anatomic repair of pelvic floor defects in a standardized way. The repair is achieved by the placement of the synthetic non-absorbable polyprolylen mesh... implant via a vaginal approach.
Filmed in an operating room, this video follows a cesarean birth from the abdominal incision through delivery of the baby. It gives students and expectant parents a clear view of how a C-section is performed and how the surgical team works. For learning purposes only — not medical advice.
What actually influences testosterone? This educational video reviews the factors known to affect hormone levels in men — including sleep, body weight, exercise, and general health — and separates established facts from popular claims. It is general information about men's health, not a treatment guide. Educational only — not medical advice.
A rare multiple birth is documented in this video: the natural vaginal delivery of triplets. It follows the delivery of each baby in sequence and the care provided between arrivals. Multiple births are usually closely monitored, and this recording is a useful obstetric learning resource. For learning purposes only — not medical advice.
At one time, women who had delivered by cesarean section in the past would usually have another cesarean section for any future pregnancies. The rationale was that if allowed to labor, many of these women with a scar in their uterus would rupture the uterus along the weakness of the old scar. Over time, a number of observations have become apparent: Most women with a previous cesarean section can labor and deliver vaginally without rupturing their uterus. Some women who try this will, in fact, rupture their uterus. When the uterus ruptures, the rupture may have consequences ranging from near trivial to disastrous. It can be very difficult to diagnose a uterine rupture prior to observing fetal effects (eg, bradycardia). Once fetal effects are demonstrated, even a very fast reaction and nearly immediate delivery may not lead to a good outcome. The more cesarean sections the patient has, the greater the risk of subsequent rupture during labor. The greatest risk occurs following a “classical” cesarean section (in which the uterine incision extends up into the fundus.) The least risk of rupture is among women who had a low cervical transverse incision. Low vertical incisions probably increase the risk of rupture some, but usually not as much as a classical incision. Many studies have found the use of oxytocin to be associated with an increased risk of rupture, either because of the oxytocin itself, or perhaps because of the clinical circumstances under which it would be contemplated. Pain medication, including epidural anesthetic, has not resulted greater adverse outcome because of the theoretical risk of decreasing the attendant’s ability to detect rupture early. The greatest risk of rupture occurs during labor, but some of the ruptures occur prior to the onset of labor. This is particularly true of the classical incisions. Overall successful vaginal delivery rates following previous cesarean section are in the neighborhood of 70 This means that about 30of women undergoing a vaginal trial of labor will end up requiring a cesarean section. Those who undergo cesarean section (failed VBAC) after a lengthy labor will frequently have a longer recovery and greater risk of infection than had they undergone a scheduled cesarean section without labor. Women whose first cesarean was for failure to progress in labor are only somewhat less likely to be succesful in their quest for a VBAC than those with presumably non-recurring reasons for cesarean section. For these reasons, women with a prior cesarean section are counseled about their options for delivery with a subsequent pregnancy: Repeat Cesarean Section, or Vaginal Trial of Labor. They are usually advised of the approximate 70successful VBAC rate (modified for individual risk factors). They are counseled about the risk of uterine rupture (approximately 1in most series), and that while the majority of those ruptures do not lead to bad outcome, some of them do, including fetal brain damage and death, and maternal loss of future childbearing. They are advised of the usual surgical risks of infection, bleeding, anesthesia complications and surgical injury to adjacent structures. After counseling, many obstetricians leave the decision for a repeat cesarean or VBAC to the patient. Both approaches have risks and benefits, but they are different risks and different benefits. Fortunately, most repeat cesarean sections and most vaginal trials of labor go well, without any serious complications. For those choosing a trial of labor, close monitoring of mother and baby, with early detection of labor abnormalities and preparation for
Urinary catheter insertion in a female infant patient is demonstrated in this clinical-skills video, using the sterile technique applied in pediatric care. It shows catheter placement as performed by trained clinical staff. This is a training resource for nursing and medical students. Procedure education only — not personal medical advice.
