Topic: Artificial vagina



  
 Vagina - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Heterosexual post-pubescent males are generally sexually attracted to the human female vagina and the resulting penile erection from such arousal facilitates vaginal penetration.
The hymen—a membrane situated behind the urethral opening—partially covers the vagina in many organisms, including some human females, from birth until it is ruptured by first coitus, or by any number of other activities including medical examinations, injury, certain types of exercise, introduction of a foreign object, etc.
(In common speech, the term "vagina" is often used improperly to refer to the vulva or female genitals generally; strictly speaking the vagina is a specific internal structure and the vulva is the exterior genitalia only.

 Abstract - Manual stimulation collection of semen from stallions: training time, sexual behavior and semen
The mean number of training sessions required was 1.15 for the manual stimulation technique and 1.18 for the traditional artificial vagina technique.
Experiment 2 was conducted to compare sexual behavior and the semen obtained by manual stimulation and artificial vagina procedures.
Stallions maintained normal sexual behavior with manual stimulation and showed no difficulty alternating between manual stimulation and traditional artificial vagina methods of semen collection, or returning to natural service.

 speciesist sexual exploitation
Artificial Vagina - This technique produces a more physiological sample plus the benefit of being able to assess the bull's libido and mating ability.
Since the first step of an evaluation is the rectal, the massage is continued and is less traumatic than an electrical probe.
Advantages to a massage include the ability to collect a bull that cannot mount or service an artificial vagina.

 Vaginal Cancer
The chance of recovery (prognosis) and choice of treatment depend on the stage of the cancer (whether it is just in the vagina or has spread to other places) and the patient's general state of health.
When the cancer has spread outside the vagina, vaginectomy may be combined with surgery to take out the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes (radical hysterectomy).
The doctor should look not only at the vagina, but also at the other organs in the pelvis to see where the cancer started and where it may have spread.

 Stallion Ejaculation Induced by Manual Stimulation of the Penis
Our use of this method with 18 stallions of various ages and types of semen collection experience indicates that this method may be an efficient alternative to traditional semen collection techniques using an artificial vagina and stimulus mare or dummy mount mare.
With minor modifications, this technique has recently been employed with pony stallions at the University of Pennsylvania (McDonnell, personal communication, 1987), where 10 stallions, subjects of a semen study, were readily trained for the collection of semen with a plastic bag and manual stimulation.
One stallion we worked with routinely achieved erection in the stall when the operator approached with the plastic bag, and with manual stimulation, he ejaculated (without the stimulus of a mare or of an olfactory stimulus).

 Rosie's Story
The vagina seemed to have shrunk back almost to its pre-operative length, so there was no way that it was “adequate for coitus&; and I was still no nearer being a ‘normal women’ who could have a relationship.
It is very sad that over the years she has not had the opportunity to discuss her condition, and this related in her very distressed attitude to her problem and specifically to her vagina which she relates to being the basis of all her problems.
Clearly her problems are psychological and not her vagina.

 H. Benjamin - The Transsexual phenomenon - Conversation Operation
The artificial vagina that can be created by plastic surgery may or may not function to your later satisfaction in marital relations.
Instead of using skin from the body to line the vaginal canal, the skin is stripped from the amputated penis and is inverted like the finger of a glove.
Major surgery would be required only if the vagina has become obliterated and useless for normal sex relations.

 Artificial Insemination
Artificial Insemination is relatively new to the TWH breed, although we were 3-4 years ahead of the QH, and the TB still does not recognize the technique as the way of the future for breeding.
The owner has combined her thirty years of experience in human medicine (specifically, the sterile techniques used in operating rooms) with numerous courses in artificial insemination and shipping of cooled semen of horses.
Our experience dictates that the most difficult problem in the artificial insemination process is the determination of the recipient mare's health and capabilities

 Canine BioTech International
Today, the actual technique and methods of artificial insemination are relatively easy and done by many private individuals and most veterinary clinics.
Although the field is relatively new in canine medicine, it has been successfully practiced in cattle and other species for many decades.
Depending on the technique and ability of those performing it, breeders should only expect a 65 to 85% success rate and usually somewhat smaller litters would be noted.

 Equine Artificial Insemination
Insemination per vagina does mean that probably the most important part of the process is the preparation, during which the perineal area is cleansed as for surgery, most commonly using an iodine preparation such as "Betadine".
The closer the mare is to ovulation, the more relaxed the cervix becomes.
It is important not to force the pipette at any point, as internal damage may occur if that is done.

 Pro's and Cons of Artificial Insemination
A male who is sterile (produces no spermatozoa) will never be able to participate in reproduction, although he can enjoy trying, since his semen will contain no sperm; but a male of low fertility may be able to produce offspring by artificial insemination techniques.
Are the Americans right to use AI, and are we in the UK missing out by not using the technique, especially when low fertility seems to be a major problem over here, or are we right to forbid the technique?
Artificial insemination is not a cure for infertility.

 AI With Fresh
Some inseminators also stroke the dorsal wall of the vagina with a gloved finger (æfeathering') or massage the clitoris for about one minute when the hind quarters are elevated.
This may promote semen transport within the uterus but it has not been objectively studied.
Artificial insemination is performed when behavioural problems prevent mating (especially female dominance) when mounting is difficult or unlikely due to orthopedic problems or inexperience, or when transported or frozen semen is used.

There is much to be learned from nontranssexual women who have had surgery for "inadequate" vaginas.
Those post-operative male-to-female transsexuals who amuse themselves with the peculiar statement that they still have a penis, but that it's just turned inside-out should note that not only do they not have a penis, but they don't even have skin of the penis any more.

 TCVRC About Shipping Semen
Training in the use of an artificial vagina is a must but, more importantly, one needs to have working knowledge of stallion psychology, as well as general equine reproduction physiology.
Heat cycles can be manipulated making it easier to know when the mare is in heat; there is less hauling so time is saved and the mares are handled as individuals, virtually eliminating the risk of injury.
These are two methods of artificial insemination that can help individuals who have only one or two mares to breed as well as improve the efficiency of the large herd owner with many brood mares.

Artificial insemination is one of the most common ART procedures in infertility clinics.
The efficacy of intra-uterine artificial insemination in the mare is very good as the cervix presents no barrier to insemination.The key to success is timing of the insemination to co-incide with ovulation.
Depending on the origin of the semen (i.e., fresh-raw, fresh-cooled, cryopreserved) artificial insemination can be of two types : transcervical or intrauterine.

 Tom
With a tom that has very poor semen or with a chronically infertile queen, surgical insemination via a laparotomy and deposition of the semen directly into the uterine lumen using a needle may improve chances of conception.
A more practical method to prove the existence of spermatogenesis is the recovery of sperm cells from the vagina immediately after natural mating.
If testosterone concentrations are normal in the tom (1000 pg/ml) testosterone therapy will not enhance libido but will probably decrease sperm production.
