NR 507 Week 8 Final
endometrial cycle - answer 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 - answer The second phase of the uterine (endometrial) cycle, during
which the endometrium (shed off during menstruation 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 - answer 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 progestogen 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 - answer 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 - answerCycle during which an egg develops and is released from an
ovary and the uterus is prepared to receive a fertilized egg.
Ovulation - answerThe process of releasing a mature ovum into the fallopian tube each
month
uterine prolapse - answerthe condition in which the uterus slides from its normal
position in the pelvic cavity and sags into the vagina
risk factors for uterine prolapse - answermenopause, pregnancy, coughing,
constipation, obesity, pelvic floor trauma, vaginal birth, hysterectomy, connective tissue
disorders, spina bifida
uterine prolapse treatment - answer- kegel exercises
- estrogen therapy
- maintaining a healthy bmi, preventing constipation, treating chronic cough
- pessary
- surgical option s last resort
polycystic ovarian syndrome - answerdefined as two of the following three features
- irregular ovulation
, -elevated adrogens (testosterone)
- and the appearance of polycystic ovaries on ultrasound
differentials for pcos - answer- thyroid dysfunction
- hyperprolactinemia
- congenital adrenal hyperplasia
Characteristics associated with PCOS - answer-metabolic dysfunction
- dyslipidemia
- insulin resistance
- obesity
polycystic ovarian syndrome treatment - answer(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 - answermalignant 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 cancer - answer- being a man between the
ages of 20-45
- cryptochidism (undescended testicle)
- family history
- previous testicle cancer
- white men are more likely
symptoms of breast cancer - answerchange 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 - answerphysical - breast tenderness,
abdominal bloating, headache and swelling of extremities
emotional - depression anger, irritability and fatigue
resolve with menstruation
causes of dysfunctional uterine bleeding - answercan be due to structural (polyp,
malignancies and hyperplasia) or non structural causes (coagulopathy, ovulatory
dysfuction, endometrial
treatment for abnormal uterine bleeding - answer- NSAIDS
(reduce prostaglandin, causes vasoconstriction, and decreased menstrual bleeding)
- Oral contraceptives
- Depo provera
