endometrial cycle The 28 days of the menstrual cycle as they apply to the events
in the uterus. The endometrial cycle has four subphases:
menstruation, the proliferative phase, and the secretory
phase, and the ischemic phase .
proliferative phase The second phase of the uterine (endometrial) cycle, during
which the endometrium (shed off during menstration is
rebuilt). This phase of the cycle is under the control of
estrogen, secreted from the follicle developing in the ovary
during this time period. The proliferative phase typically lasts
from day 6 to day 14 of the menstrual cycle.
secretory phase The third phase of the uterin (endometrial) cycle, during which
the rebuilt endometrium is enhanced with glycogen and lipid
stores. The secretory phase is primarily under the controll of
progestone and estrogen (secreted from the copus luteum
during this time period), adn typically lasts from day 15 to day
28 of the menstrual cycle.
ischemic phase Approximately 3 days before menstruation to onset of
menstruation. due to the decreased production of estrogen or
progesterone and the endometrium becomes blood starved
menstrual cycle Cycle during which an egg develops and is released from an
ovary and the uterus is prepared to receive a fertilized egg.
Ovulation The process of releasing a mature ovum into the fallopian
tube each month
uterine prolapse the condition in which the uterus slides from its normal
position in the pelvic cavity and sags into the vagina

pelvic floor trauma, vaginal birth, hysterectomy, connective
tissue disorders, spina bifida
uterine prolapse treatment - kegel exercises
- estrogen therapy
- maintaining a healthy bmi, preventing constipation, treating
chronic cough
- pessary
- surgical option s last resort
polycystic ovarian syndrome defined as two of the following three features
- irregular ovulation
-elevated adrogens (testosterone)
- and the appearance of polycystic ovaries on ultrasound
differentials for pcos - thyroid dysfunction
- hyperprolactinemia
- congenital adrenal hyperplasia
Characteristics associated with PCOS -metabolic dysfunction
- dyslipidemia
- insulin resistance
- obesity
polycystic ovarian syndrome treatment (1) diagnosis and education;
(2) lifestyle change - loss of 10% of body weight may help;
(3) birth control pills help with some symptoms;
(4) diabetes medications & dietary treatment may slowly
normalize physiology (lower sugar, lower insulin, fewer
androgens)
testicular cancer malignant tumor in one or both testicles commonly
developing from the germ cells that produce sperm; classified
in two groups according to growth potential
conditions that increase risk of testicular - being a man between the ages of 20-45
cancer - cryptochidism (undescended testicle)
- family history
- previous testicle cancer
- white men are more likely
symptoms of breast cancer change in the shape or appearance of your breasts, skin or
nipple changes such as dimpling of the skin, Squeeze each
nipple gently to identify any discharge, chest pain (mets to the
lung)
signs of premenstrual dysphoric disorder physical - breast tenderness, abdominal bloating, headache
and swelling of extremities
