1.Cystitis: An infection or inflammation of the urinary bladder.

2.Cystocele:
• The descent or pouching down- ward of a portion of the posterior
bladder wall and trigone into the vagina.

3. Cytomegalovirus:

• A herpes virus that produces unique large cells bearing intranuclear


inclusions.
4. Diabetes or diabetes mellitus:
• An endocrine disorder that involves disruption of normal
carbohydrate metabolism caused by a deficiency of insulin. Because
pregnancy causes a significant change in the course of diabetes,
closely supervised prenatal care of a diabetic gravida is required. See
also gestational diabetes.
5. Disseminated intravascular coagulation:
• An acquired disorder in which there is acceleration of thrombi
formation and also increasing fibrinolytic activity resulting in
hemorrhage. The disorder can be either chronic or acute. In
obstetrics it is usually acute and considered a medical emergency.
6. Down syndrome:
• A chromosomal abnormality characterized by slanting eyes set close
together; narrow palpebral fissures, flat nose, protruding large fissured
tongue, small head and flat occiput; broad pudgy neck: short, thick
hands with simian creases on the palms; defective mentality; under
developed muscles loose joints, and heart and alimentary tract
abnormalities. The syndrome may be inherited, although its incidence
increases with maternal age. Also called trisomy 21 and, formerly,
mongolism.
7. Dysmenorrhea: Painful menstruation.

8. Dyspareunia:

• Painful intercourse, which can result from penetration, frictional


movement, and deep thrusting.

9. Dystocia:

• Difficult, slow, or painful birth or delivery. It is distinguished as


maternal or fetal (i.e., the difficulty is due to some deformity on the
part of the mother or on the part of the child).
10. Early deceleration:

• Transient slowing of the FHR in a pattern that is almost a mirror


image of the contraction.

11. Eclampsia:

• A severe complication occur- ring in pregnancy or the early


puerperium Characterized by hypertension, edema, proteinuria,
seizures, and coma.
12. Ectopic pregnancy:

• Gestation in which the fetus is implanted outside uterine cavity. It


includes gestations in the interstitial portion of the tube or in a
rudimentary horn of the uterus (cornual pregnancy) and cervical
pregnancy, as well as tubal. Abdominal, and ovarian pregnancies.
Also known as extra uterine pregnancy.
13. Engorgement Hyperaemia:

• Local congestion; excessive fullness of any organ or passage. In


obstetrics, refers to an exaggeration of normal venous and lymph
stasis of the breasts, which is caused by increased amounts of milk in
the lobules and ducts and circulating blood and lymph in the
mammary glands.
14. Epispadias:

• A congenital anomaly in which the urethral meatus is located on the


dorsal surface of the penis.

15. Escherichia coli:

• A short, rod-shaped genus of gram-negative bacteria found in the


large intestines of humans and warm-blooded animals, which often
causes urinary tract infections, diarrheal and other infections.
Commonly referred to as E. coli.
16. Exophthalmos: Abnormal protrusion of the eye.

17. Failure of descent:


• Absence of descent during the first stage, deceleration phase, or second stage of
labor.

18. Failure to progress:


• The cessation of labor due to the inability of the cervix to dilate normally. This
occurs when the rate of progress in active labor falls below the Friedman curve,
but there is normal uterine activity and no CPD.
19. Fetal alcohol syndrome:

• Birth defects caused by excessive intake of alcohol by the mother


during pregnancy. Symptoms include prenatal and infant growth
deficiencies, developmental delay or mental retardation,
microcephaly, fine motor dysfunction, and facial dysmorphology in
infants.
20. Fetal distress:

• A condition of fetal difficulty in utero that can occur during either


the antenatal or the intrapartum period. Signs are fetal tachycardia,
decrease in variability, and repetitive late or severe variable
decelerations.
21. Folic acid deficiency anemia:

• Deficiency of folic acid, a vital nutrient in the body, results in folic


acid deficiency anemia. It is also called nutritional anemia.

22. Galactorrhoea: Lactation after cessation of breast-feeding.

23. Gestational diabetes:

• Diabetes initially diagnosed during pregnancy, due to glucose


intolerance.
24. Gestational hypertension:

• A relatively benign condition of elevated BP during pregnancy


without signs of proteinuria and edema.

25. Glycosuria: The presence of glucose (sugar) in the urine.
