SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
● Gonorrhea. Answer: 2nd most common STI; infxn of urinary tract.
asymptomatic, purulent discharge, dysuria
Males: prostatitis, epididymitits.
Females: PID and infertility, conjunctivitis in neonates
● Trichomoniasis s/s. Answer: Protozoal infxn--vaginal in women and
urethral in men.
- asymptomatic
- urethritis, dysuria and itching, women: discharge
● Chlamydia treatment and prevention. Answer: Treatment:
Azithromycin and other antibiotics
Prevention: Safe sex and absitnence
,● Gonorrhea treatment and prevention. Answer: Treatment: Antibacterial
drugs (penicillin or ceftriaxone + doxycycline) Some drug-resistant
strains Retest for eradication
-Ophthalmia neonatorum prevented by prophylactic treatment of eyes of
all newborns within 1 hour
-Required by law in U.S.
● Trichomoniasis treatment. Answer: Metronidazole (Flagyl)
● Gonorrhea prognosis. Answer: Good with prompt diagnosis and
treatment.
● chlamydia prognosis. Answer: -good with early treatment
-if untreated: PID, infertility in females; epididymitis in males, sterility
in both
● endometriosis. Answer: a condition in which patches of endometrial
tissue escape the uterus and become attached to other structures in the
pelvic cavity
● Endometriosis Signs and Symptoms. Answer: Dysmenorrhea with
pain in lower back and vagina.
, Infertility

● breast cancer prevention. Answer: diet, exercise, maintaining healthy
body weight, pregnancy and breastfeeding decisions, routine screenings-
-esp for women with a family history
● Hormones and Menstrual Cycle. Answer: - After menses, FSH is
secreted and causes ovarian follicle to mature. The follicle secretes
estrogen, which thickens uterine lining.
•Mid-way through the cycle, LH levels greatly increase and cause
ovulation
•The ovarian follicle increases progesterone production to help the
uterus to prepare for a potential implantation of a fertilized ovum.
•If no fertilization, estrogen and progesterone levels drop and the uterine
lining degenerates, resulting in menstruation.
