29
atresia
Lack of normal body opening; for example, hysteratresia is closing of cervix, usually from scarring
30
breast cancer
Malignant tumor of breast; usually forms in milk glands or lining of milk ducts
31
cervical cancer
Malignant tumor of cervix; some cases caused by human papilloma virus (HPV), sexually transmitted virus for which there is now vaccine; regular Pap smear used for early detection
32
chorionic villus sampling (CVS)
Removal of small piece of chorion for genetic analysis; can be done at earlier stage of pregnancy than amniocentesis
33
conization
Surgical removal of a core of cervical tissue for biopsy
34
cystocele
Hernia or outpouching of bladder protrudes into vagina; can cause urinary frequency and urgency and block vagina
35
dilation and curettage (D&C)
Surgical procedure consisting of widening cervix an scraping or suctioning out endometrial lining of uterus; often performed after spontaneous abortion or to stop excessive bleeding from other causes
36
ectopic pregnancy
Pregnancy occurring outside of uterus, usually in fallopian tubes; growing fetus will rupture fallopian tube requiring a salpingectomy
37
endometriosis
Occurs when endometrial tissue appears throughout pelvic or abdominal cavity; causes recurring pain and scarring
38
endometrial cancer
Cancerous tumor forms in lining of uterus
39
fetal monitoring
Use of electronic equipment placed on mother's abdomen or fetus' scalp to check fetal heart rate (FHR) and fetal heart tone (FHT) during labor; normal FHR ranges from 120 to 160 beats per minute; drop in fetal heart rate indicates fetal distress
40
fibrocystic breast disease
Benign cysts in breast tissue; not precancerous
41
fibroid tumor
Benign tumor of fiberlike tissue; the most common type of tumor in women
42
fistula
Abnormal passageway that develops between two structures; vesicovaginal fistula is between urinary bladder and vagina; rectovaginal fistula is between rectum and vagina
43
hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN)
Condition developing in fetus when mother's blood type is Rh-negative and baby's blood is RH-positive; antibodies in mother's blood enter fetus' bloodstream through placenta and destroy fetus' red blood cells; causes anemia, jaundice, and enlargement of spleen; treated with intrauterine blood transfusion; also called erythroblastosis fetalis
44
in vitro fertilization (IVF)
Infertility treatment; ova are removed from woman and fertilized by sperm externally; resulting embryos are returned to uterus for development; commonly called test tube baby
45
infertility
Inability to produce children; generally defined as no pregnancy after properly timed intercourse for one year
46
ovarian cancer
Cancerous tumor formed within ovary
47
Papanicolaou (Pap) smear
Test for early detection of cervical cancer; named after developer, George Papanicolaou, a Greek physician; cells are removed from cervix by simple scraping and examined under microscope
48
pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
Chronic or acute infection, usually bacterial, that ascends through female reproductive tract and out into pelvic cavity; can result in scarring that interferes with fertility
49
placenta previa
Placenta forms in lower portion of uterus and blocks birth canal; can require C-section for birth
50
premature birth
Birth of fetus before 37 weeks of gestation
51
premenstral syndrome (PMS)
Symptoms that develop just prior to onset of menstrual period; can include irritability, headache, tender breasts and anxiety
52
prolapsed uterus
Falled uterus that can cause cervix to protrude through vaginal opening
53
rectocele
Protrusion or herniaction of rectum into vagina
54
stillbirth (SB)
Birth in which viable-age fetus dies shortly before or at time of birth
55
tubal ligation
Surgical tying off of fallopian tubes to prevent pregnancy
