fallopian tubes
function is to convey the ova from the ovaries to the uterus, place for fertilization of the ova by sperm
uterus
hollow, muscular, pear-shaped organ located in the lower pelvis, posterior to the bladder and anterior to the rectum. Receives the ova, providing a place for implantation and nourishment during fetal growth, protection to a growing fetus and expulsion of the fetus at maturity.
cervix
lowest portion of the uterus.
proliferative phase of menstruation
(estrogenic, follicular, or postmenstrual) approximately day 5 to day 14. Endometrium increases in thickness about eight fold.
secratory phase of menstration
(progestational, luteal, premenstrual) dominance of progesterone from the corpus luteum causes the endometrium to become dilated with glycogen and mucin
ischemic phase of menstration
without fertilization the corpus luteum regresses and progesterone and estrogen levels drop. The endometrium begins to degenerate (day 24 or 25). Capillaries rupture and the endometrium sloughs off.
menses
blood, mucin, endometrial tissue fragments and unfertilized ovum are discharged from the uterus as the menstrual flow
scrotum
pair of skin-covered pouches that contain testes, epididymis and spermatic cord
TESTES
ovoid glands composed of Leydig’s cells and seminiferous tubule. Seminiferous tubules produce spermatozoa.
lydigs cells
produce testosterone
prostate gland
secretes thin alkaline fluid that protects sperm by lowering the pH level.
seminal vesiciles
convoluted pouches that empty into the urethra through the ejaculatory ducts. Provide the viscous portion of semen which provides sperm with increased motility
can be a side effect of antihypertensives, tranquilizers and antidepressants.
erectile dysfunction
alcohol, cocaine and nicotine
decrease potency of sperm
opiates, marijuana, cocaine, sedative, hypnotics, amphetamines, amyl nitrite, LSD, cantharides and yohimbine.
can cause sexual dysfunction
such as narcotic’s cause’s inhibited sexual desire & response or erectile & ejaculatory dysfunction
CNS depressants
Anti-Anxiety = Barb’s, Benzodiazipines - cause
- cause decrease sexual desire, orgasmic dysfunction in women and delayed ejaculation in men.
Antiarrythmia’s, antihypertensives, diuretics & beta-blockers - cause decrease sexual desire, ejaculatory failure, or dysfunction & erectile failure.
cardiovascular agents
Female genital mutilation is
illegal in girls under 18
male sexual response excitement phase
rapid erection, thickening of scrotal skin, elevation of the scrotal sac response of vasocongestion. increased HR, increased BP, flushed skin, Increased genetalia blood flow
male sexual response plauteu phase
increased length and diameter of penis, testes size increases by 50%. Cowper’s gland produces lubrication at the urethral meatus. Orgasm is the climax of the plateau phase.
ejactulation state I
seminal fluid expulsed from the seminal vesicles into the prostatic urethra
ejaculation stage II
seminal fluid expulsed from the prostatic urethra to the urethral meatus.
final phase male ejaculation Resolution
immediately after orgasm, rapid loss of vasocongestion and decrease in penis size
obligatory refractory period
unable to be restimulated to erection.
female excitement phase
vasocongestion causes clitoral enlargement and vaginal lubrication. The vaginal orifice opens. Increases HR, BP, and increased blood flow to genitals.
female plauteu phase
retraction of the clitoris under the clitoral hood, vagina expands in width and depth, rising of cervix and uterus.
female orgasmic phase
Increases HR, RR, BP.
female resoulution phase
clitoris returns to normal size and position, vasocongestion dissipates. No obligatory refractory period.
impotence primary
never achieved an erection necessary for intercourse.

by cervical culture. Acute infection. Infects genital tract, rectum, throat, opthalmic. Usually in Female 15 - 19 yrs.

Herpes genitalis, genital warts- caused by
human papilloma virus can become cancerous, and syphilis
test to detect syphilis
vrdl
types of barrier methods
diaphragms, cervical caps and condoms
when to perform testicular self exam
perform monthly after a warm bath or shower, roll each testicle identifying lumps or nodules.
best time to perform breast self exam
monthly about a week after menses with finger pads over entire breast area. Visual examination for dimpling, changes or redness or swelling.
the menstrual cycle is divided into
the ovarian cycle and the endometrial (uterine) cycle.
the ovarian cycle is divided into
the follicular phase, the ovulatory phase and the luteal phase.
follicular phase
estrogen dominate when the follicle matures.
ovualtory phase
follicle ruptures from the ovary on approximately the 14th day before onset of the next cycle.
luteal phase
progesterone is dominant as the uterus prepares for implantation.
endometrial cycle is divided into
the proliferative, secretory and ischemic phases.
proliferative phase
proliferation of endometrium, estrogen dominant.
secrotary phase
progesterone dominant phase cause endometrial glands to continue to grow and become dense preparatory to implantation.
ischemic phase
occurs only if fertilization does not occur. Corpus luteum regresses, progesterone and estrogen production decreases. Endometrium degenerates, capillaries rupture and endometrium sloughs off.
hypothalmus male hormone
released gonadotropin-releasing hormone, influencing the anterior pituitary gland to release FSH and LH.
fsh
releases androgen-binding protein (ABP).
ABH
binds with testosterone to promote spermatogenesis.
sperm is produced in
seminiferous tubule of the testes. The tubule of each testis leads to the epididymis.
the epididmis
conducts sperm from the testis to the vas deferens.
The vas deferens carries sperm
from the epididymis through the inguinal canal into the abdominal cavity.
oophorectomy)
removal of ovaries
HRT
used to decrease symptoms that women may experience due to menopause. Symptoms such as insomnia, hot flashes, mood swings, and lack of concentration. HRT may protect against osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease.

amenohhrea primary
absence of menstruation. Primary is absence of menstruation by age seventeen. (anatomical or genetic abnormalities such as Turner syndrome)
amenohhrea secondary
is absence after 6 months of regular periods or 12 months of irregular periods. ( anatomic abnormalities, nutritional deficits, excessive exercise, decreased body fat, endocrine dysfunction, emotional disturbances, medication side effects, pregnancy, and lactation.

second leading cause of cancer deaths in men. Dx test include PSA prostate specific antigen, transrectal ultrasonic exam, and prostatic biopsy. Sx- dysuria, weak urinary stream, increased urinary frequency.
prostate cancer
cystecole
support between the vagina and bladder is weakened.
urethocele
downward displacement of the urethra into the vagina. S/sx = stress incontinence, frequent urination, urgency
recetolecele
weakening between the vagina and rectum
prolapsed uterus
structures that hold ^ uterus are weak & it goes into the vagina or all the way out.
(all structural disorders due to multiple pregnancies, 3rd or 4th degree perineal lacerations with childbirth or weakening of pelvic floor muscles with aging.)
fistulas
abnormal opening between internal organs or between an organ and the exterior body.
vesicovaginal fistula
between vagina and bladder that causes urine to leak into the vagina.
rectovaginal fistulas
rectum and vagina and cause flatus and feces to enter vagina. Both fistulas cause excoriation and irritation and may lead to severe infection. Some fistulas spontaneously heal, others require surgical excision.
B[H HYPEFTROPHY

Treatment may include alpha beta-blockers that are usually used to treat hypertension.
POST OP CARE FOR TURP
includes bladder irrigation to reduce clot formation that could interfere with urinary drainage. Continuous irrigation with a three-way Foley catheter for at least 24 hours. Irrigant should be subtracted from total output to assess urinary output. Absorption of irrigating fluid may result in water intoxication manifested with mental status changes, agitation, confusion and even convulsions.
POST OP CARE FOR HYSTERECTOMY

HYDROCELE
is a non-tender, fluid filled mass resulting from interference of lymphatic drainage of the scrotum. The swelling surrounds the testis.
