What are the earliest signs of pregnancy? This educational video reviews the symptoms that can suggest pregnancy — such as a missed period, nausea, and breast tenderness — and explains why a pregnancy test is the reliable way to confirm it. General information only, presented for learning. Educational only — not medical advice.
External cephalic version is a process by which a breech baby can sometimes be turned from buttocks or foot first to head first. External cephalic version (ECV) is a manual procedure that is advocated by national guidelines for breech presentation singleton pregnancy, in order to enable vaginal delivery.
Presented as a long teaching session, this video demonstrates an advanced cardiac examination. It begins with blood pressure and listening to the carotids for bruits, then moves to inspection and palpation of the precordium. Running about sixteen minutes, it is a detailed resource in Physical Examination.
General Considerations Because a discussion of reproductive issues may be difficult for some women, it is important to obtain the history in a relaxed and private setting. The patient should be clothed, particularly if she is meeting the provider for the first time. Ordinarily, the patient should be interviewed alone. Exceptions may be made for children, adolescents, and mentally impaired women, or if the patient specifically requests the presence of a caretaker, friend, or family member. However, even in these circumstances, it is desirable for the patient to have some time to speak with the clinician privately. The manner of address should be formal using the title Mrs., Ms., Miss, or Dr. with the patient’s surname, unless the patient requests otherwise. In some settings, it may be appropriate for nursing staff to be involved with history taking. A nurse may be perceived as less threatening, and may be able to take the history in a less hurried manner.1 The provider can verify the history and focus on areas of concern. Alternatively, it may be helpful to ask the patient to complete a self-history form on paper or by computer prior to speaking with the provider. This allows the provider to devote time to addressing positive responses, and ensures that important questions are not missed. Hasley2 showed that responses to a computer-based questionnaire designed to update a patient’s gynecologic history were equivalent to those obtained during a personal interview. Several studies involving patients in non-gynecologic settings have shown that patients are more likely to provide sensitive information when responding to a computer-based questionnaire as opposed to a personal interview or even a paper questionnaire.3 In order to increase a patient’s level of comfort during the interview, questions should be asked in an open-ended and nonjudgmental way. Assumptions should not be made about aspects of the patient’s background such as sexual orientation. At the conclusion of the interview, patients should be asked whether there are concerns that they would like to discuss that were not addressed previously in the interview.
This educational explainer compares the physiology of male and female sexual response, including the stages of arousal and orgasm, in clinical terms. Intended for adult health education. Educational only — not medical advice.
-The cremasteric reflex test is considered positive if there is elevation of the testis in response to stroking the upper inner thigh. This reaction is typically absent in testicular torsion and boys under the age of 6 months. Although not completely reliable in older boys and adults, an absent cremasteric reflex is highly suggestive of torsion. Patients with epididymitis usually have a normal cremasteric reflex, with pain and swelling isolated to
Cystoscopy (sis-TOS-kuh-pee) is a procedure that allows your doctor to examine the lining of your bladder and the tube that carries urine out of your body (urethra). A hollow tube (cystoscope) equipped with a lens is inserted into your urethra and slowly advanced into your bladder.
A silent 3D animation shows how the pelvic bones and the baby's head adapt during childbirth. The sequence illustrates the movements that allow delivery to progress. It is a visual study aid for students of obstetrics and midwifery. No narration accompanies the animation, so the movement itself carries the explanation, and the clip runs just over a minute.
This video shows the drainage of a very large abscess on a patient's face. Abscess drainage is a standard procedure in which the collection is opened so that it can clear and heal, and the recording documents the process in a clinical setting. Facial abscesses require prompt treatment because of their location.
Narrated by the operating surgeon, this clip shows fibroadenoma removal under local anaesthesia. A small subareolar incision is made, adhesions are freed along a dissection plane, and the whole fibroadenoma is delivered through the small opening. It is a short operative record in Surgery Videos.
A very short ultrasound clip is shared here as a light-hearted moment from an examination room. An ultrasound examination is shown, and there is essentially no spoken narration, only a single name heard being called. The clip runs under a minute and sits in the site's funny videos collection.
Wound suturing technique is demonstrated in this emergency medicine recording. The presenter works through how a wound is closed with sutures, with attention to healing and cosmetic outcome. It is a training resource for students learning basic wound closure skills. It is part of the site's library of recorded clinical and educational material.
Conception timing matters more than tricks: this educational video explains fertile-window tracking, cycle awareness, and the factors that genuinely affect how quickly pregnancy happens. It separates reliable fertility facts from common myths. Educational only — not medical or fertility advice; speak with your clinician.
