no there is no connection at all,the digestive system is not connected to the uterus in anyway

Sept. 27, 2005 --  A baby born outside of her mother's uterus is raising questions about whether or not men can conceive.\n\nToday Emylea Tharby is a healthy 4-month-old, but there is only a one in 10 million chance that she is even alive. \n\n"When we did the MRI, we put two and two together," said Dr. Renato Natale. "We couldn't see a uterus around the baby."\n\nEmylea developed outside of the womb when a fertilized egg fell into her mother's abdominal cavity. The placenta that feeds the baby was planted outside of the uterus. \n\nThe baby was delivered during emergency surgery with minor disabilities.\n\n"She's the most beautiful child I could ever dream of having," said Emylea's mother, Lia Tharby. \n\nThe successful pregnancy without a womb raises questions as to whether a man could one day become pregnant.\n\n"Good Morning America" medical contributor, Dr. David Katz, weighed in on the debate. He said men would need the female hormones necessary to sustain a pregnancy.\n\n"Could it be done? Yes," Katz said. "But there would be unpleasant side effects for a guy. I wouldn't rush off to try that."

This is essentially two uteruses, yes? How far does the vaginal septum extend? I think the biggest issue is whether the man can penetrate comfortably (for both people) and is the septum so long that one ejaculation only stays on one side, and is that the same side that the egg for that month is on (remember that you only drop one egg a month usually and it will be from one ovary or the other). The other problem is that the baby won't have as much room to grow if there is a divide down the middle of the uterus, so it may not be possible to carry a child to full term. Is surgery possible?

The vagina as you go up and to the back from the front contains in its space the cervix or the mouth of the uterus. It appears as if the uterus has protruded into the vagina. To make the description simple, imagine a round shaped house whose roof in the middle is actually something like a cone- Infact that is exactly what it looks like. Imagine a cylinder into which a cone has been fit in reverse. If you stand in the middle of the cylinder, the apex of the cone would be pointing at you and the ceiling would be much nearer. If you are near the wall of the cylinder the ceiling is much higher and made of the base of the cone. Does this make sense to you by the way? So during the act of sex the sperm is deposited in this "higher" area( also called the vaginal fornix) and thus it would make a good site to look for sperm for later DNA or other examination.That is what they call the vaginal vault. The tip of our imaginary cone would represent the cervix of the uterus which is projecting down into the vagina. I don't know how much sense this has made. I hope it helps.\n-cheers-

I've heard of that before..Women drinking castor oil..I looked it up on WebMD and it said something about an enlarged pelvis...Anyway here is the site...Good luck with the new grandbaby!!! Yay!

its called acetabulum - the cuplike cavity on the lateral surface of the hip bone that receives the femur.

-Plenty of foreplay\n-Water based lubrication such as KY Jelly\n-and I agree with the previous anwered about the tilted utero. It's a small fraction of women that are shaped like that (like me) and it maked certain positions painful. When you go deep it touches the end of the vagina and "it" can bumped into her colon wall, which is extremely painful. \n\nBe considerate and make this an oportunity to try different positions. \n\nGood luck

That would definitely be your cervix.  This is where your uterus opens into the vaginal canal.  It can be quite painful if your partner bumps against it during sexual intercourse.  Your best bet would be to experiment with different positions that allow for different penetration angles.  I suffer from the same problem, and there are some sexual positions (woman on top for example) that I just *cannot* tolerate.  If you have any additional questions, talk to your gyno.  You'd be amazed at the kind of advice they can give you.

Tipped or dropped uterus has nothing to do with it! I have one and do not experience pain and my significant other is well endowed. \n\nI would def go and get a 2nd opinion. \nWhat I think off the top of my head that might be the cause is your uterus hasn't fully healed. A D&C (which Im assuming was the type of abortion you had) IS invasisive and they do scrap the walls of your uterus. Then the IUD got inserted and your body rejected it do to maybe minor scarring on your uterus(again Im assuming this si what happened) and then you had it removed which might have as well scarepped the walls of your uterus. I would advice staying away from pork and aspirin( slow donw the heeling process same thing they tell you when you get a tattoo) get on the pill or another form of birth control for a good 4-6 months so your uterus can heal and keep sex to a minimal and nothing ruff (easier said than done) just let you body bounce back to normal and you should feel better

Growths in the ovaries/tubes etc. [Maybe need a hysterectomy], or something in the colon-  always get more than one Drs. opinion for serious surgeries. My husband would have been wearing a bag on his side the rest of his life if we hadn't had a second opion[ from a Dr. at Cleveland Clinic.]  He is good today.

Sorry Maggie you are incorrect. Endometriosis is the presence of normal endometrial mucosa (glands and stroma) ABNORMALLY implanted in locations OTHER than the uterine cavity. This tissue, possessing the same steroid receptors as normal endometrium, is capable of responding to the normal cycles of hormones. One theory of spread is thought to be dispersion of ectopic (meaning where it should not be) inplants throughout the peritoneal cavity (area where your bowels, liver reside) during menstruation, since sloughing off of products of endometrial tissue from the uterus is not just unidirectional (out through the cervix then vagina, but also up through the fallopian tubes leading to the body cavity known as retrograde flow. This is common in women and can't fully explain endometriosis. Endometriosis has even been found on structures even above the diaphragm. Endometriosis responds and is driven by estrogen. There are reports of women with endometriosis occuring after hysterectomy and removal of the ovaries (which makes estrogens). Women normally continue to make lower levels of weaker estrogens even after their ovaries have been removed. Some women for whatever reason continue to make high levels, and this is thought to be a reason for further symptoms.\n\nTo answer your question simply, yes, it can still grow

Hello! A D&C is short for dilatation and curretage. What they do is insert metal probes into your cervix to dilate it and then once the cervix is open they curretage (or scrape out) the contents of your uterus. (Usually used when a fetus has not been expelled or to treat excessive or prolonged uterine bleeding)Here is what you can expect during your stay:\nPrior to surgery: \n1-Shower and possible enema\n2-surgical consent form\n3-cleansing of abdominal and perineal area, possible shaving of the perineal area\n4-You will probabably not be able to eat from midnight on the night before your surgery. \n5- You may have an IV started.\nAfter Surgery-\nYou will have bleeding and discomfort. Pain varies on how extensive your D&C was as well as your personal tolerance for pain. Most women do not experience severe pain.\n1-Use perinal pads (NOT TAMPONS) for two weeks. This prevents infection and allows tissues to heal.Also do not take baths until bleeding has stopped.\n2-Avoid sexual intercourse until post-op check-up is complete and doctor has cleared sexual activity.\n3- Avoid heavy lifting for 4-6 weeks.\n4- You will bleed and may experience pain that feels like an intensified menstrual cramp.\n5- You may be tired for a few days. Take it easy and relax.\n6- You can use a pillow to splint your abdomen so you can cough and experience less pain.\n7- After surgery you will most likely be on a clear liquid diet and will gradually move to a regular diet. \n8- Your next menstrual cycle may be delayed and start later than usual.\nWithout being aware of what exactly they are performing a biopsy on I can only guess that it is a uterine growth of sorts. Many things can cause uterine growths. Biopsy results may take a long time to get back. I hope things work out for you and please feel free to e-mail me with any questions. Good luck! -Nykki

we are more similar than most realize, esp if we look at the embryological origins of these m-f tissues.\n\nInternally both genders started out with NON-differentiated gonads.  If the XX is present, this turns into an ovary in embryo USUALLY.  If XY is present, then it turns into testes USUALLY.  \n\nIn the embryo there are also BOTH sets of tubes: Wollfian ducts and Mullerian ducts.  Wollfian ducts will become vas deferens.  The Mullerian duct will become the oviduct-Fallopian tubes. Pseudohermaphrodites might not differentiate thoroughly.\n\nExternally we all started out as an anatomical female.  Essentially a guy is a closed up female.  During embryo-fetal development the genitals of the baby are very confusing if you don't know what you are looking at.  Essentially, the penis that grows is an enlarged clitoris.  It has 3 erectile tissues in it, where as the clitoris has 2 erectile tissues.  (clitoris does not have the urethra growing in it, so she does not urinate with a clitoris) Many people call the clitoris a small penis, but embryologically speaking it is the other way around.  Both genders have labia in utero....the labia stay and persist in the female, but if it is an XY, the labia are supposed to close up.  The seam seen on the underside of the scrotum (separating the scrotum into rt-lt halves-compartments to hold each testicle) and the underside of the penis (kinda looks like a scar, but it is NOT a circumcision scar, it is the seam where he closed up when his genitals were more female. \n\nOne of the most common birth defects found in the penis is hypospadius, where the underside of the penis has not closed up all the way and so the urine comes out the underside of the head of the penis instead of the tip of the penis where the normal urethral opening is, thus the penis is not completely masculinized and closed up. There is a rarer deformity called epispadius, but the urine hole is on the top of the head of the penis.\n\nThere are both true hermaphrodites and at least three kinds of pseudohermaphrodites in humans.  True hermaphrodites have both ovary and testis.  Pseudo have either or, but the other organs are all mix-match male and female combinations internally and externally.\n\nDuring embryo development there are critical hormonal changes that help to masculinize the brain of males.  If baby is an XX then the masculinizing hormones are not released and the baby's brain stays feminized.  Mothers who take masculinizing hormones during pregnancy can masculinize their daughter's brains.  They might also turn a normal genetic female into a anatomical male.  (Happins in animals too, can get a whole litter to be males if masc hormones given at critical time of embryo dev.)  \n\nAlso females transexuals who take testosterone as adults will go thru a male puberty and be very transformed a lot within 6 months.  They will grow a lot more hair (beards, body, etc) they will grow a bigger larynx, muscles will get leaner-muscular, voice will deepen, their clitoris will grow to be about the size of a thumb and their sexual aggression with be peaked.  Their family will not recognize them in 6 months.  \n\nThus, males and females are a lot a like.  It is easy to make a male to female transexual surgically because you are taking away the male structures that were ADDED at embryo development.  When you make a male from a female transexual, stuff has to be ADDED to make the female.\n\nThus everyone starts out with the feminized brain, feminized genitalia, and BOTH sets of m-f tubes internally. We have structural homologies of all our organs (in the opposite sex) If all goes well, however, the genetic sex and the internal-external m-f traits all match, PLUS the sexual-gender identity will match the chromosomes and the genitals-gametes-gonads.

The main duct is the pancreatic duct which runs the length of the pancreas. It drains the pancreatic fluid from the gland and carries it to the duodenum. The main duct is about one-sixteenth of an inch in diameter and has many small side branches. The pancreatic duct merges with the bile duct to form the ampulla of Vater (a widening of the duct just before it enters the duodenum.)\n\nThe pancreas is made up of glandular tissue and a system of ducts.
