Re: The Sex Health Issue Summary Thread -Updating
Retrograde ejaculation
source here Retrograde ejaculation occurs when semen enters the bladder instead of going out through the urethra during ejaculation. Causes, incidence, and risk factors The main reason for retrograde ejaculation is that the bladder neck does not close. This causes semen to go backwards into the bladder rather than forward out of the penis. Retrograde ejaculation may also be caused by: - Diabetes - Some medications, including drugs used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and some mood-altering drugs - Surgery to the prostate or urethra The condition is uncommon. Symptoms Cloudy urine after orgasms Little or no semen is released during ejaculation Signs and tests A urinalysis that is taken soon after ejaculation will show a large amount of sperm in the urine. Treatment Your health care provider may recommend that you stop taking a drug if it is causing your retrograde ejaculation. This can make the problem go away. Retrograde ejaculation that is caused by diabetes or surgery may be treated with medications such as pseudoephedrine or imipramine. Expectations (prognosis) If retrograde ejaculation is caused by medications, stopping the drug will often bring back normal ejaculation. If retrograde ejaculation is caused by surgery or diabetes, it is often not correctable. Complications The condition may cause infertility. However, semen can often be removed from the bladder and used during assistive reproductive techniques to achieve a pregnancy. Calling your health care provider Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you are having trouble conceiving a child or you are worried about retrograde ejaculation. Prevention Maintaining good blood sugar control may help prevent this condition in men who have diabetes. Avoiding drugs that cause retrograde ejaculation will also prevent this condition.

Termination of Pregnancy/Abortion in Singapore
source information on who to contact and how to proceed in the event of an unwanted pregnancy. Also information on the types of termination practised, the counselling available and general health promotion. In Singapore, abortion is legal on socio-medical grounds. The legal time limit for abortion is 24 weeks into the pregnancy. The Age of Legal Consent and Under 21s In Singapore the Abortion Act law states that there is no defined age limit for the abortion procedure, nor is there a legal requirement for parental consent for minors under the age of 21. In other words just about anyone may request the procedure for unwanted pregnancy, provided they are of sound mind and body and understand the risks and details of the procedure. Note: In contrast, if a miscarriage happens, then parental consent is required for anyone below the age of 21. The law applies to all patients, regardless of nationality. Legal restrictions on foreigners Foreigners are only eligible for pregnancy termination/abortion in Singapore if one of the following criteria are met: They have been residing in Singapore for 4 months or more They are married to a Singapore citizen or have PR status If they have a work permit These restrictions do not apply to foreigners who require evacuation for miscarriage, but the age of legal consent (21 and above) will apply in this scenario. Before the Procedure The Abortion Law act requires that the woman undergoes brief counselling by a qualified abortion counsellor at any accredited abortion clinic, and watch a video on the subject. Girls under 16 years of age have to undergo mandatory counselling at the Health Promotion Board Counselling Centre. They will be issued with a Certificate of Attendance (COA) without which they will not legally be allowed to have an abortion. There is also a mandatory waiting period of 48 hours after the counselling before the procedure can be done. Procedure for an Abortion There are 2 main types of abortion procedure, depending on the gestation of the pregnancy 1, For early pregnancies 3 months (12 weeks) and below, the procedure is called vacuum aspiration. This usually involves being put to sleep for about 10 minutes, during which time a small tube is placed into the womb via the vagina. An attached vacuum will then remove all the pregnancy contents of the womb. 2. For pregnancies 3 to 6 months (13 to 24 weeks) , the procedure is known as Mid Trimester Pregnancy Termination (MTPT) which is a more complicated affair. Hospitalisation is usually required for a day or two, during which medicine is inserted into the vagina to induce natural expulsion of the pregnancy. After the foetus and placenta are aborted, the process of evacuation of the womb follows. This is basically the same procedure as used in vacuum aspiration; it ensures that the womb contents have been thoroughly evacuated. The second method takes a little longer and is messier, so it is far preferable that an early decision for abortion be made, before 3 months if possible. Abortion in a pregnancy beyond 24 weeks Abortion is not allowed if a pregnancy has progressed beyond 24 weeks. The legal limit of termination of pregnancy in Singapore is 6 months, or 24 weeks, beyond which abortion of any pregnancy is illegal. Most doctors would not initiate abortion beyond 23 weeks as the abortion has to be completed by 24 weeks. The only exception to this rule would be a severe or lethal foetal abnormality but even then, special approval would have to be sought from the authorities before the procedure can be done. Limit to how early in a pregnancy the abortion can be performed A woman choosing to have the procedure, should make an appointment as soon as possible in order to date and to locate the pregnancy so that the timing of the procedure can be planned. This is important because is not advisable to have the procedure too early in the pregnancy, as the risks of retained products and a "missed" abortion is higher. Expected downtime after the procedure Though the evacuation procedure itself takes only about 10 to 20 minutes, it would probably be advisable to take the rest of the day off in view of the residual effects of the anaesthesia. Recovery should be complete by the next day. Risks with the procedure The risks of the procedure are rare, and consist of bleeding from the womb, infection and trauma to the cervix. Another extremely rare complication is uterine perforation, which is when the probe goes through the wall of the womb, and which requires repair via keyhole surgery. Long term effects (including emotional and psychological trauma) The risks of infertility from abortion carried out in a modern setting, particularly in a sterile environment, are extremely low. As for psychosocial effects, these are far less common than some sensationalist media imply. In fact the only satisfactory studies conducted in this regard show that there is an improvement in the mental well-being when compared to someone who has to go through the entire process of an unwanted pregnancy. Nonetheless many aspects of emotional and mental well being are subjective, and coloured by social, cultural and religious influences, making this a controversial issue. The impact of regret also varies from individual to individual. A qualified gynaecologist can provide in-depth discussion and unbiased counselling. Cost of the procedure The cost of the surgery itself in Singapore ranges from S$300 to S$2000. The large disparity is due to variations in the type of theatre employed, the depth of anaesthesia applied and in the package inclusions. For MTPT, the hospitalisation and medication charges must also be taken into account. An accredited abortion centre should be contacted for an in-depth discussion. Patients are also usually entitled to a medisave claim, although this may not be relevant to foreigners. Abortion through taking medication The practice of medical termination via taking of prostaglandins has the advantage of avoiding surgery. However it is a more prolonged process, and may involve pain and bleeding which may last for weeks. There is also a slightly higher failure rate, which may still require one to undergo a formal evacuation if the medicine fails. Traditional medicines The procedure should only be undertaken under the supervision of a qualified non-objecting gynaecologist trained in abortion procedures. "Traditional" or "alternative" methods of abortion using pineapples, herbs and/or instrumentation in unsanitary conditions should be avoided as complications such as infection, bleeding and sometimes infertility can occur. The Doctor's Rights, a Woman's Choice A doctor may refuse to perform the procedure on personal grounds although the woman retains her choice in the matter of abortion. It is the duty of every responsible medical practitioner to offer the patient a second opinion even if they object to the procedure on religious grounds. An accredited abortion centre is a good source of unbiased objective information. The final decision is made by the pregnant woman. The most important aspect of abortion is the decision to have one. There are a myriad of conflicting social, religious and financial issues that have to be sorted out carefully so time should be taken to make an informed decision as this is something that should not be taken lightly.

Re: The Sex Health Issue Summary Thread -Updating
Abortion
source here If you have any questions about contraception, sexually transmitted infections, STI testing, pregnancy or abortion, the best thing you can do is speak with a doctor. If you don’t have a doctor then talk to the DSC Clinic or visit a local clinic. Who can have an abortion? According to the Singapore Abortion Act law: there is no defined age limit for the abortion procedure there is no legal requirement for parental consent for minors abortion is prohibited after 24 weeks (6 months) of pregnancy unless the mother’s life is in danger What is the process? Abortion patients must undergo compulsory counselling before the procedure. Girls below 16 years of age need to be counseled at the Health Promotion Board Counselling Centre (except for rape victims). This is followed by a mandatory waiting period of 48 hours before the procedure can be done. If you want an abortion and your doctor refuses on personal grounds, you have the right to seek a second opinion. See here for other providers. Patients will normally undergo post abortion counseling after the procedure and may be required to return a week later to check for any complications. Because of the risk of infection, some doctors may advise that you should not have sex for up to two weeks after your procedure. Types of Abortion In Singapore, there are 2 main types of abortion procedure: vacuum aspiration – (up to 14 weeks) The patient will have to fast for at least 4 hours and sedation will be given as anesthesia (ie you will be put to sleep for about 10 minutes). Then a small tube is placed into the womb via the vagina. An attached vacuum will then remove the pregnancy. The patient should be able to go home after 2 to 4 hours. Mid Trimester Pregnancy Termination – (14 to 24 weeks) This process is more complicated and hospitalisation is usually required for a day or two. Medicine is inserted into the vagina to induce natural expulsion of the pregnancy. After the foetus and placenta are aborted, the womb is cleared by by vacuum aspiration as above. Because the second procedure is much more complicated, it is much better for an early decision for abortion be made. Legal restrictions on foreigners Foreigners are only eligible for abortion in Singapore if one of the following criteria are met: They have been residing in Singapore for 4 months or more They are married to a Singapore citizen or have PR status If they have a work permit More Info Teen Central – Health Promotion Board Termination of Pregnancy/Abortion in Singapore – Anglo Info Guidelines on Termination of Pregnancy (PDF) – Ministry of Health Singapore Sees Abortion Rates Rise – AFP, May 2009 Statistics A Ministry of Health spokeswoman said there were 12,222 abortions in Singapore in 2008, compared to 11,933 in 2007. No official figures are available for 2009 (source). During the same period there were 39,935 babies delivered indicating that roughly 1 in 4 pregnancies are terminated. While a small proportion of pregnancies are terminated for health reasons, most terminations are due to financial or social concerns (unwanted pregnancy).
