Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is suitable for assessing female infertility, as infertility typically results from benign processes in women of reproductive age. The causes of female infertility include ovulatory disorders (i.e., pituitary adenoma and polycystic ovarian syndrome), disorders of the fallopian tubes (i.e., hydrosalpinx and pelvic inflammatory disease), uterine disorders (i.e.,mullerian duct anomaly, aden-omyosis, and leiomyoma), and pelvic endometriosis. 

Traditional Medicine. Used in treating amenorrhea, postpartum and labor pains, uterine disorders, support for natural uterine contractions during labor, cough, dropsy, fever, nervous disorders, smallpox, yellow fever, lumbago, pain of acute rheumatism, headache, hysteria, nervous system disorders, influenza, and itch. Used by American Indian tribes as a galactogogue, diuretic, to stimulate menstruation, and in the treatment of colds, rheumatic pains, constipation, coughs, and kidney problems (moerman). 

An estrogen dependent disorder characterized by the presence of uterine tissue at sites other than the uterus such as the peritoneum, ovaries and rectovaginal and rarely in the pericardium, pleura and brain. 

Causes of menorrhagia can be divided into systemic disorders and specific uterine abnormalities. 

The overall uterine effects obtained in animals treated with the different compounds make it possible to assume that pure antiestrogens could be used in the treatment of endometrial disorders and endometrial carcinoma (Gradishar and Jordan 1997). 

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disorder mostly occurring in reproductive-age women characterized by a growth of the endometrium outside the uterine cavity (Oral et al. 1997 Child et al. 2001). Explanations of how the tissue stains this abnormal placement are controversial, although the predominant theory is that retrograde menstruation is the cause (Oral et al. 1997 Child et al. 2001). Additional factors that maybe pivotal in the disease s pathogenesis include immunologic abnormalities, endometrial disorders, and peritoneal dysfunction (Oral et al. 1997 Child et al. 2001). 

Progestins are nsed for varions menstmal cycle disorders, for functional uterine bleeding of various origins, and as a contraceptive. Progestin therapy is also used to treat endometriosis and endometrial carcinomas. Progesterone is not effective when taken orally due to intensive metabolism, and therefore it is used by either parenteral or transvaginal introduction. 

Patients with cardiovascular disease (including hypertension), diabetes (risk of hyperglycemia), pregnancy (uterine contractions), prostatism, and anxiety disorders are among those who should not take ma huang at any dose. Drug-herb interactions occur with MAOIs (hypertensive crisis), phenoth-iazines (tachycardia, hypotension), (3-blockers (hypertension) and theophylline (increased CNS effects). Of course, caffeine and other stimulants have an additive effect. 

Oxytocin is used to induce labor for conditions requiring early vaginal delivery such as Rh problems, maternal diabetes, preeclampsia, or ruptured membranes. It is also used to augment abnormal labor that is protracted or displays an arrest disorder. Oxytocin has several uses in the immediate postpartum period, including the control of uterine hemorrhage after vaginal or cesarean delivery. It is sometimes used during second-trimester abortions. 

Various types of anemia, malnutrition, hypotension, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, infertility, thrombocytopenia, heavy blood loss after a surgical operation or delivery of a baby, mental disorders. 

Any consideration of major issues relating to the balance of benefit and harm, such as cancer or mortality rates, should be supplemented by a consideration of less prominent ones, for example, a reduction in disorders of the menstrual cycle (such as dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, and the premenstrual syndrome) and the reduced risks of iron deficiency anemia, functional ovarian cysts, uterine fibroids, benign breast disease, pelvic inflammatory disease, and ectopic pregnancy (10,11). 

It is mostly prescribed for bladder disorders, such as difficult and painful micturation, and also forms part of the treatment for uterine irritation.
