Chapter 3, Problem 1.1CS
Summary Introduction
To explain: The reason for Person A’s infertility when she was inactive.
Introduction: The female reproductive cycle is a unique framework that involves continuous corelation between the ovary and the brain. Hormones released by the hypothalamus, the ovary, and the pituitary are responsible for regulation of the monthly cycle.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Person A and her husband already have two lovely children, full-time jobs, and hectic schedules. Her husband wants them to have more children, and requested her not to use any kind of contraceptive pills. Person A had a weight of 210 pounds. At this weight, she was unable to conceive and also was not having regular periods. Within months following her program of swimming regularly, Person A’s menstrual periods have become regular, and her contraception method is lost. It seems that her better level of physical fitness and body fat has amended her fertility status.
As mentioned earlier, Person A’s lifestyle comprises full-time jobs and hectic schedules, which show high probability of fluctuations in hormones and this affected her health. Pituitary gonadotropin is controlled by the follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). If a person has a health issue, this could affect the hormone level. Due to Person A’s overweight, her health was getting affected; this was a reason for her infertility when she was inactive.

She has a history of one full term pregnancy, which resulted in the delivery of a boy born with a neural tube defect known as meningocele. Prior to her first pregnancy, the patient had a personal history of anorexia. Given this clinical picture, the patient’s first son likely had a condition known as (SCID / spina bifida).
