reproductive health and the family 2 Flashcards
fibrocystic breast changes
thickening of normal breast tissue
imbalance of estrogen and progesterone
fibrocystic breast changes - cm
cyclic pain, tenderness, swelling right before menses
may be able to feel mass
fibrocystic breast changes - tm
diagnose with mammogram mri or fine needle aspiration
limit caffeine, decrease Na, use oral contraceptives
endometriosis
presence of endometrial tissue outside of uterine cavity
unknown cause, maybe backflow of menstrual flow, inflam of endometrium, immune defect
endometriosis - cm
pelvic pain usually at menses
may cause infertility
endometriosis - tm
diagnose: laparoscopy
sx removal endometrial tissue (help with fertility), NSAIDS (inflam), oral contraceptives (stop periods)
PCOS
ovaries enlarges with cycsts along outer edge
unknown cause
PCOS - cm
irregular to absent menses, elevated testosterone and androgen, obese, insulin resistant, infertility
ance, alopecia, hurchuism, deep voice, increased muscle mass
PCOS - tm
diagnose: H&P, labs, vaginal ultrasound
oral contraceptives, glucophage and spironolactone (aldosterone)
toxic shock syndrome
around menses or postpartum
toxin by staph A
toxic shock syndrome - cm
fever, rash on trunk (sunburn), v, hypot, inflam mucouse membranes
toxic shock syndrome - tm
diagnose: elevated BUN, AST, ALT, bili, low plt
hospital, IVF to maintain BP abx
bacterial vaginosis
decrease in normal flora, overgrowth of bad - douching or freq sex
bacterial vaginosis - cm
increased thin watery whitish/grey fluid with fishy smell
bacterial vaginosis - tm
vaginal pH >4.5, slide prep
flagyl (metronidazole), clindamycin vaginal cream
vaginal candidiasis
yeast
abx, oral contraceptives, immunosuppressants, DM
vaginal candidiasis - cm
itch, thick and curdy, rash
vaginal candidiasis - tm
vaginal discharge will show spores under microscope
diflucan or nystatin
trichomoniasis
sex trans
trichomoniasis vaginalis
trichomoniasis - cm
yellow/green discharge, inflam, itch, dysuria
trichomoniasis - tm
visualize on microscope
flagyl vs non treatment (increased risk of preterm labor or complications with pregnancy, low brith weight, no sex until condition passes)
chlamydial
bacterial STD
chlamydia trachomatis
chlamydial - cm
can be asymp
thin purulent discharge, dysuria, lower abd pain
chlamydial - tm
lab culture
azithromycin
can cause blindness and pna in newborn (neonatal conjunctivitis)
gonorrhea
std, increase risk for pelvic inflam disease
bacteria meisseria gonorrhoeae
gonorrhea - cm
purulent, greenish/yellow discharge, dysruia, vulva swell
can be asymp
gonorrhea - tm
lab
rocephin and azuthromycin
herpes genitalis
hsv1 = cold sores
hsv2 = genitals
herpes genitalis - cm
single blisterlike vesicle
itch and tingle before vesicle
herpes genitalis tm
culture of lesion
no cure, acyclovir to help keep dormant
lesions usually heal themselves (2-4 wk)
reoccurance: tight clothes, overheat, freq sex, stress, menstruation, pregnancy
dont deliver vaginally if you have active lesion
syphilis
chronic from contact with open wound or acquired congenitally
fetus can acquire from mom
spirochete treponema pallidum
syphilis - cm
chancre - wart like plaque on vulva
fever, weight loss, malaise
syphilis - tm
blood test VDLR or RPR
penicillin
increased risk for: interuterine growth restriction, preterm birth or still brith
HPV
sex trans - vaginal, oral or anal
cause cervical cancer
HPV - cm
genital worts - can be internal for women
HPV - tm
biopsy lesions
cryotherapy, shave excision, acid removal
Pelvic inflammatory disease
inflam disorder of upper genitalia, can cause tubal damage and infertility
multiple partners, IUD, untreated gonorrhea and chlamydia
Pelvic inflammatory disease - cm
bilateral, sharp cramping pain, fever, chills, purulent vaginal drainage
can be asymp
Pelvic inflammatory disease - tm
culture, cbc, vdrl, rpr (rule out syphilis)
multiple abx combos
UTI lower
cystitis
low grade temp, hematuria, painful urination
e. coli, enterococcus or staph
uti lower - tm
urine specimen, labs
abx
uti upper
pyelonephritis
proceeded by lower infection
high temp, chills, flank pain (one sided usually)
uti upper - tm
urine specimen, labs
IVF, IV abx, pain meds
fertility essential: female
favorable cervical mucus, patent tubes with normal motility, ovaries that produce and release normal ova, no obstruction between ovary and uterus, favorable endometrium, adequate reproductive hormones
fertility essential: male
normal quality, quantity and motility of sperm; unobstructed genital tract, normal genital tract secretions, ejaculated sperm able to reach cervix
infertility workup
female: BBT, cervical mucus changes, hormonal assessment, endometrial biopsy, transvaginal US
male: ductal obstruction or abnormal sperm/sperm production
infertility - meds
clomid
progesterone
gonadotropins (FSH, LH)
parlodel
infertility - therapeutic insemination
donor or partner’s sperm deposited at cervical os or uterus mechanically
infertility - IVF
egg collected from ovary fertilized in lab and placed in uterus after embryo development starts
infertility - gamete intrafallopian transfer
egg removed by laparoscopy and placed with sperm, fertilization occurs in fallopian tube, then egg travels to uterus to implant
infertility - zygote intrafallopian transfer
eggs retrieved and incubated with sperm and placed back into fallopian tubes once fertilization occurs
infertility - adoption
info from reliable sources, international v domestic, reputable agencies, expensive and time consuming
effects of infertility
stress on relationship, intrusiveness, guilt, frustration, anger, shame, loss of control, incompetence or defensive, social stigma, strained relationship with hcp, loss of status and ambiguity as couple
nurses role in prenatal diagnostic tests
identify families at risk, determine how genetic problem is perceived and what info is needed, be a liasion, provide education and referrals, help family cope, assure continuity of care
infertility - primary
