Study Notes
Uterine Tumors
- Overview of uterine tumors includes various types, symptoms, and treatment options.
Cervical Cancer
- Early detection through screening is crucial for effective treatment.
- Key risk factors include HPV infection, smoking, and a weakened immune system.
- HPV types 16 and 18 are responsible for about 70% of cervical cancer cases.
Human Papillomavirus (HPV)
- HPV vaccination is effective in preventing most cervical cancers and genital warts.
- The bivalent vaccine targets HPV types 16 and 18.
- Vaccination is recommended for both females and males to prevent anal cancer and genital warts.
- Women who are vaccinated should continue cervical cancer screening, as vaccines do not cover all HPV types.
- Condoms do not completely eliminate the risk of HPV transmission.
- High-risk individuals, including those with HIV, should prioritize vaccination and screening.
Examination Techniques
- Patient positioning: Side lying to facilitate examination of the sacrococcygeal and perianal areas.
- Inspect the anus for tenderness and potential abscess; abscesses can lead to anal fistulas.
- Anoscopy or sigmoidoscopy may be necessary for a detailed examination of the anal canal and rectal surface.
- Assess anal sphincter tone during a digital rectal examination, observing for signs of malignancy.
Common Concerns in Anus, Rectum, and Prostate Health
- Changes in bowel habits, like pencil-thin stools, can indicate colon cancer.
- Blood in stools, particularly dark and tarry, suggests gastrointestinal bleeding or polyps.
- Rectal pain or tenderness may be associated with hemorrhoids or sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
- Anal warts or fissures can be caused by HPV, secondary syphilis, or other conditions like Crohn's disease.
- Weak urinary stream can indicate urethral obstruction from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or prostate cancer, with increased concern in men over 70.
- The AUA symptoms index provides a scoring system to quantify BPH symptom severity, with higher scores indicating more severe symptoms.
