A

graying and thinning of pubic hair
decreased size of the labia majora and clitoris
drying, smoothing, and thinning of vaginal walls
decrease size of the uterus
atrophy of the endometrium
decrease size and marked convolution of the ovaries

Q

family history and genetic risk assessment collected for reproductive system

A

daughters of women given diethylstilbestrol (DES) to control bleeding during pregnancy are at increased risk for infertility and reproductive tract cancer
specific BRCA 1 and BRCA 2 gene mutations increase overall risk for breast or ovarian cancer
men with first degree relatives (father, brother) with prostate cancer are at greater risk

Q

Prostate specific antigen (PSA) test

normal less than 2.5 ng/ml for age 50 and increases with age (possibly up to 6.5 ng/ml)
used as a screening lab for prostate cancer because other prostate problems can increase the level
some variance on the PSA value and how it is affected by age
