Ovulation occurs between the follicular/proliferative and the luteal/secretory phase
uterine prolapse - ANSthe decent of the cervix or entire uterus into the vaginal canal ** can be
severe protruding completely through vagina and protrude from introitus

90% often manifests as painless enlargement that is gradual sensation of heaviness with dull
ache
Risk factors for testicular cancer - ANScryptorchidism, abnormal testicular development, hiv,
aids, Klinefelter syndrome, Hx of testicular CA.
Eval for breast Ca - ANSPainless lump in the breast palpable nodes in the axilla retraction of the
tissue or dimpling of the skin bone pain caused by metastasis to vertebrae.

any anatomical cause other causes have been ruled out accounts for 70% of hysterectomies
and ablations.

older chronic exposure to arsenic as well as estrogen is a risk factor
