Feminine Hygiene

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feminine_hygiene

The article could be expanded with information from additional articles about menstruation (https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mensskydd) and monthly hygiene (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monatshygiene).

These changes would help to include more information regarding feminine hygiene.

Brigance Inventory of Early Development ii (IED-ii)

Things to add/fix:

First paragraph: Add background to what Brigance Inventory of Early Development ii (IED-ii) is.

Include hyperlinks to all 5 of the developmental areas

1. Language Domain (receptive and expressive)
2. Motor Domain (gross motor and fine motor skills)
3. Academic-Cognitive (general/quantitative and pre-reading skills)
4. Daily Living Domain (self-help and prevocational)
5. Social-Emotional Domain (play skills and behavior and engagement/initiation skills)

The IED-ii also provides information in 11 12 key criterion-referenced skill based developmental areas:^{[citation needed]}

Need to fix the entire "Test" section (formatting and content).

7/31/20 Fertility Tourism edits

1) Under surrogacy destinations heading

• take out Georgia because it is not a country
• consider adding in these countries india, thailand, ukraine, russia
• include citation for popular foreign surrogacy destinations: Deonandan R. Recent trends in reproductive tourism and international surrogacy: ethical considerations and challenges for policy. Risk Manag Healthc Policy. 2015 Aug 17;8:111-9. doi: 10.2147/RMHP.S63862. PMID: 26316832; PMCID: PMC4544809.
• "Previously popular destinations, India, Nepal, Thailand, and Mexico have since 2014 banned commercial surrogacy for non-residents" --> include "or allow it only for heterosexual married couples."

2) under IVF heading

break down the countries (as is done under surrogacy)

About 20,000 to 25,000 women (often accompanied by their partners) annually seek cross-border assisted reproductive technology (ART) services. Some countries are more popular than others as IVF destinations due to higher success rates and less fewer regulations. Even small countries such as Barbados provide JCI-accredited IVF treatment aimed at women from abroad.

• Israel: Reproduction is a central goal in Israel, a leading fertility tourism destination for in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment with over three decades of major technologies in the assisted reproduction industry. The trajectory of assisted reproductive technology is outlined through the expansion of IVF, the globalization of donating gametes, and the privatization of service.
  • citation: Birenbaum-Carmeli D. Thirty-five years of assisted reproductive technologies in Israel. Reprod Biomed Soc Online. 2016 Jun 14;2:16-23. doi: 10.1016/j.rbms.2016.05.004. PMID: 29892712; PMCID: PMC5991881.
• United states: The United States is the destination of many Europeans because of the higher success rates and liberal regulations, based on The Fertility Clinic Success Rate and Certification Act that was passed in 1992. Affiliation between the right and left sides of the political spectrum in the United States prompted towards the protection of human life, even during the in vitro embryonic stages.
• India: India and other Asian countries are the main destinations for U.S. women seeking fertility treatment, being the destinations for 40% of U.S. women seeking IVF and 52% seeking IVF with egg donation. The success rate of embryonic transfer through IVF has continually increased, resulting in more pregnancy outcomes: Malhotra N, Shah D, Pai R, Pai HD, Bankar M. Assisted reproductive technology in India: A 3 year retrospective data analysis. J Hum Reprod Sci. 2013 Oct;6(4):235-40. doi: 10.4103/0974-1208.126286. PMID: 24672161; PMCID: PMC3963305.
• Germany: Many travel from countries like Germany and Italy, which are very restrictive of the number of eggs that may be fertilized and how many embryos can be used for implantation or cryopreservation.
  • ^ delete germany because it is not a destination for IVF due to their restrictions
• Mexico: In recent years, Mexico has become a popular destination for cross-border IVF treatment due to its liberal ART and egg donation policies with over 50 clinics throughout the country that utilize assisted reproductive technology. From esterilología to reproductive biology: The story of the Mexican assisted reproduction business. Mexico does not have legal regulations that restrict or prohibit IVF or egg donations in Mexican clinics, making it a top destination for infertility treatment. https://www.eggdonationfriends.com/ivf-in-mexico-why-usa-patients-travel-to-mexico-for-ivf-and-egg-donation-treatment/#:~:text=In%20addition%20egg%2C%20sperm%20and,widely%20accessible%20in%20Mexican%20clinics.
• Iran: With over 30 years of experience in infertility research and treatment, Iran is one of the world’s pioneers in effective infertility treatment especially IVF. IVF centers in Iran are using the most advanced methods and utilizing the up-dated equipment provide the infertility treatment services to all Iranian and foreign couples.

Infertility, or the inability to get pregnant, affects about 8-12% of couples looking to conceive or 186 million people globally. citation --> Mascarenhas MN, Flaxman SR, Boerma T, Vanderpoel S, Stevens GA. National, regional, and global trends in infertility prevalence since 1990: a systematic analysis of 277 health surveys. PLoS Med. 2012;9(12):e1001356. doi: 10.1371/journal.pmed.1001356. Epub 2012 Dec 18. PMID: 23271957; PMCID: PMC3525527.

Areas with lack of resources, such as assisted reproductive techniques (ARTs), tend to correlate with the highest rates of infertility. --> fix "techniques" to "technology"

With these rising conditions, people end up having to travel to other countries in order to get the fertility treatments not accessible to them in their home countries. --> this sentence was copied twice (in the first and second paragraph), so delete one of them

The main procedures sought are in vitro fertilization (IVF), artificial insemination by a donor, as well as surrogacy.These methods are types of assisted reproductive technology (ARTs). Each of these three methods have varying popularity in different countries, with one method being more sought after for these destinations compared to another method in another country.

The mother may experience hemorrhaging and can have a higher chance of having health problems such as diabetes and high blood pressure compared to mothers who only have one embryo implanted. Those born from multiple births from IVF often are premature and underweight babies. This might lead to serious health problems such as lung development problems, intestinal infections, cerebral palsy, learning disabilities, language delay, and behavior problems, and possibly death.
