/Chlamydia S/S - Answer-Most common STI in US. major cause of sterility and leading
cause of PID
Often asymptomatic
men--> urethritis, thin water discharge with burning and itching, scrotal swelling
women--> urethritis, cervicitis, dysuria, yellow vaginal discharge with burning/itching,
abdo pain, and dyspareunia (painful intercourse)
/.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
Severity of pain is not indicative of extent of the disease.
Dyspareunia, dysuria, and sometimes painful defecation.
/.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.
/.Cancer of the prostate - Answer-Leading cancer in older males; A hard area on the
prostate or hard, fixed, irregular nodules on the prostate suggest cancer. The median
sulcus may not be palpable.
/.S/S of prostate cancer - Answer-initally asymptomatic.
urinary obstuction-blood in urine or semen, painful ejaculation
symptoms are similar to BPH
/.benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) - Answer-enlargement of the prostate gland. More
common in older males
/.BPH s/s - Answer-hesitancy and straining during urination.
Decreased strength of the urine stream (weak flow).
Dribbling after urination.
Feeling that the bladder is not completely empty.
An urge to urinate again soon after urinating.
