Over modest
Inappropriate jokes
Any funny effects of medication?
Androgens
Adrenal cortex and gonads
Physical, muscles, sebaceous, body hair
Progesterone
Decreases mucous permeability
Decreases ovum transport
Decreases proliferation
Estrogen
Develops reproductive tract
Stops growth
Fat placement
Suppresses FSH/LH suppressing ovulation
Testes
Descend at 34-38 weeks
Undescended increases cancer risk
GnRH
Released by hypothalamus and influences pituitary
Pituitary
Releases FSH and LH that control ABP
LH
Promotes testosterone release
ABP
Androgen binding protein
Promotes sperm formation
Vulvar blood and nerves
Pudendal V&A
Pudendal, ilioinguinal, genitofemoral nerves
Ovary palpation
Can’t because so low but pain indicates problem in lower quadrants
Nonfunctional ovaries
No breasts
Male like body hair
Estrogen
Prevents osteoporosis
Keeps cholesterol low

Uterus
Doesn’t mature until 17 (LBW of newborns)
Stays 33% bigger after birth
Isthmus
Enlarges greatly for fetus
Part typically cut for CS
Cervical Os
Relation to is ischial spine determining fetal position
Pap smear
Sample taken between lower cervix and lower cervical canal
Myometrium
Prevents hemorrhaging during menstruation
Keeps Os closed in pregnancy
Contracts equally to expel
Contracts to close vessels postpartum
Uterine nerves
Sensory nerves lower than motor
Epidural stops pain but not contractions
Uterus septums
Present during formation but are supposed to rescind
Vagina

25-end
Cervical changes
During ovulation, mucous becomes thinner
Fern test positive before ovulation
Negative after
Spinnbarkeit test
Estrogen is high so vaginal mucous is stretchy between fingers
Menopause symptoms
Hot flashes, vaginal dryness, osteoporosis, bladder incontinence
HR therapy
Correlation with CVA and cancer
Short term with acute symptoms
Menopause therapies

Where PT gained knowledge
Contraception assessment
Personal values Clients values HX and future Ability to use correctly Side effects Cost PT relationships
Reproductive education benefits
Fewer unwanted pregnancies
Fewer STI
Fewer abortions
Contraception desired outcomes
Safe 100% effective All aspects are compatible with PT No S/E before, during, or after Easily used and obtained
Rhythm method plan
6 month cycle evaluation
- 18 from shortest cycle
- 11 from longest
BBT method plan
Take temp each morning when waking Temp drops .5 before and rises 1 during ovulation Avoid sex for 3 days 75% effective Meds and exercise affect baseline temp
Mucus method
Mucus thick and sparse until ovulation
Must monitor daily and before sexual activity
Symptomthermal method
Mucus and temp method
3 days after temp
4 days after mucus thinning
Ovulation detection
Detect LH in urine
98%+ accurate
Expensive

Natural ovulation suppression while breastfeeding
Use < 3 months
Natural method throughout the lifespan
Committed relationships
Adolescents aren’t as disciplined or regular
Elder women temp and mucus change
Oral contraception
Estrogen/progesterone based
Estrogen suppresses gonadotropins
Progesterone keeps mucus thick and decreases tubal transport
Biphasic coc

Triphasic
Estrogen and progestin vary throughout
Mimics natural cycle
Coc non-contraceptive decreases:
