A feminist materialist inspired analysis of the meaning and management of pregnancy and reproductive health in Olympic and Paralympic female athletes

ABSTRACT The number of elite female athletes returning to professional sport following childbirth has gradually increased in recent years. There now exists a burgeoning of scholarship across sport and health-related disciplines that have paid attention to the experiences of pregnancy and motherhood in elite female athlete populations. This paper contributes to this expanding topic of inquiry by taking inspiration from feminist materialist approaches to examine the experiences and politics of pregnancy and reproductive health in elite female Olympic and Paralympic athletes on the United Kingdom elite sport funded programme – The World Class Programme (WCP). In doing so, we begin to foreground the bio-social-material practices and entanglements that constitute the WCP environment which actively shape athletes’ understandings of reproductive health and choice around pregnancy in particular ways. We discuss how the presented data has implications for female athlete embodied subjectivity and reproductive realities that complicate cultural narratives around athlete agency and gender equities in elite sport.

Edukasi Kesehatan Reproduksi Remaja untuk Menyongsong Indonesia Emas 2045

The purpose of this community service is to increase adolescent knowledge about reproductive health, which is important for the survival of the youth, offspring, and the future of the Indonesian nation, especially in welcoming “Indonesia Emas 2045”.

The method used in this service is ABCD (Asset Based Community Development) with the main assets being teenagers in Rogomulyo Kayen Pati Village while the community is the Kayen Pati District Health Office. The service steps include: 1) observation, 2) community approach, 3) socialization of activities, 4) socialize the adolescent reproductive health, 5) evaluation and mentoring. The activity was carried out by socializing knowledge, discussing, and giving questionnaires. The results obtained, the average value of the participants was 79.8, meaning that the participants' understanding of reproductive health was high. Based on the questionnaire, most of the participants obtained reproductive health information from the internet. These results are quite worrying because the internet does not only have a positive side. Reproductive health socialization should be provided starting from children, adolescents, pregnant mothers, and parents, so that this knowledge is no longer considered taboo and becomes the needs of each individual.

Sexual and Reproductive Health Outcomes in Females With Cloacal Malformations and Other Anorectal Malformations

Data included age of thelarche/menarche and questions on body image, gynecologic anatomy, sexual function, and pregnancy. Twenty-one patients responded in the ARM group and 30 in the cloacal malformation group. There were no differences in median age of thelarche/menarche in patients with ARMs (11/12.5 years) compared with patients with cloacal malformation (11/12 years). Patients with ARMs were more likely to have native vaginal tissue than those with cloacal malformations (n=18, 82% vs n=12, 40%; P=.03). There were no differences between groups regarding concerns about dyspareunia and functionality of their vagina (P > .05). Forty-two percent of patients with cloacal malformations and 30% of patients with ARMs reported having been sexually active. Two patients with cloacal malformations and 2 with ARMs reported having been pregnant. Patients with cloacal malformations reported a lower quality of life score (80.4) compared with those with ARMs (87.0) (difference > 4.5). Patients with a cloacal malformation were less likely to have native vaginal tissue and reported a lower quality of life than those with ARMs. Despite this, patients with a cloacal malformation had similar reproductive health and sexual function compared with patients with ARMs. Our results reinforce the need for comprehensive sexual and reproductive health care for all women with ARMs.

Demographic bonus in Bali: hopes and challenges in reproductive health

Background: Bali experienced an earlier demographic bonus and a longer duration than the national one. The demographic bonus provides both hope and challenges from a reproductive health perspective, especially in the current Covid-19 pandemic.
 Methods: Extracted from various sources, analyzed and presented in the form of a description.
 Result: In the period 1960-2000, the population growth rate in Bali continued to decline, but from 2000 to 2010, it increased again to 2.14. The age group below 50 years reaches 80%, the distribution is 30% under the age of 18 years, then 24% at the age 19-35 years, and 24% for the age group 35-50 years. In 2020 Bali entered the demographic bonus with the lowest dependency ratio between 42.2% - 43.3%. Bali's life expectancy rate reached 70.61 years in 2010 and is predicted to be 71.68 years in 2018. Based on the Regency/City of Bali Province's projected population in 2010-2020, the number of seniors in Bali in 2020 is 11.51%. The challenges faced include: 1. Knowledge of adolescents about reproductive health, 2. High number of the population in productive age accompanied by an understanding of reproductive health is still low. 3. Disease awareness of various pathological conditions in pregnancy is still low, coverage of contraceptive use is still low, causing pregnancy without planning, unwanted and high risk, 4. Low quality of antenatal care, 5. There are still many pregnant people, and giving birth without financing pattern, 6. Population mobility, many pregnant women who come to Bali, are not equipped with population data/identities, including family cards, 7. The increasing number of people over 60 years of age are unproductive, unhealthy, and not independent. These challenges will burden the family and or the government, especially if they do not have a good financing pattern.
 Conclusion: The demographic bonus in Bali occurs earlier than in some other regions in Indonesia due to success in managing population programs. This bonus does not guarantee the success of development in the overall sense of the Covid-19 pandemic era. Bali still has to strive hard to realize its development hopes and solve existing and real challenges.

Changing the Narrative; Peer Based Training on Reproductive Health: A Six Year Experience [08G

INTRODUCTION: Despite the American College of Obstetricians & Gynecologists recommendations, many medical students are not taught to counsel patients on their reproductive health options. Since 2013, medical students at the University of Miami, under faculty guidance, implemented a curriculum for volunteers who wish to help women in South Florida access long-acting reversible contraception and abortion services. METHODS: Students in their third- and fourth-year designed a training program. Second-year students who had undergone the training and had at least one year of experience as a Reproductive Health Advocate (RHA) led the program. The learning objectives were to train new RHAs in contraception, pregnancy termination, patient counseling, laws and finances. Pre- and post-training surveys assessed knowledge, attitudes, and barriers regarding reproductive health. RESULTS: Over the past six years, eighty-seven students with an average age of 24 years completed pre-training and post-training surveys. The cohort includes five males, eighty females and two declined to identify gender. Reproductive health knowledge scores improved with a pre-training average score of 58.6% and a post-training score of 83.2%, P<.008. Attitudes towards abortion also changed. Before training, 53% of students “strongly agreed” that abortion is safe; after training 86% “strongly agreed.” Prior to training, only 41% of the students strongly agreed that “abortion access is a problem in the hospital I train.” Post-training assessments showed that 63% of students strongly agreed. CONCLUSION: Student-run training improved medical students' understanding of reproductive health and barriers accessing care. To determine generalizability, future studies should replicate this training at different institutions.

The preconception environment and sperm epigenetics.

Infertility is a common reproductive disorder, with male factor infertility accounting for approximately half of all cases. Taking a paternal perceptive, recent research has shown that sperm epigenetics, such as changes in DNA methylation, histone modification, chromatin structure, and noncoding RNA expression, can impact reproductive and offspring health. Importantly, environmental conditions during the preconception period has been demonstrated to shape sperm epigenetics. To provide an overview on epigenetic modifications that regulate normal gene expression and epigenetic remodeling that occurs during spermatogenesis, and to discuss the epigenetic alterations that may occur to the paternal germline as a consequence of preconception environmental conditions and exposures. We examined published literature available on databases (PubMed, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect) focusing on adult male preconception environmental exposures and sperm epigenetics in epidemiologic studies and animal models. The preconception period is a sensitive developmental window in which a variety of exposures such as toxicants, nutrition, drugs, stress, and exercise, affects sperm epigenetics. Understanding the environmental legacy of the sperm epigenome during spermatogenesis will enhance our understanding of reproductive health and improve reproductive success and offspring well-being.
