Study Notes
External and Perineal Care
- External douches are used for cleansing the vaginal area, but excessive use can disrupt natural flora.
- The labia majora protect internal structures of the female reproductive system and contain sweat and sebaceous glands.
- Episiotomy, an incision made during childbirth, is indicated when there's potential for severe tearing that could result in complications.
- The clitoris serves as a primary organ of sexual pleasure and is involved in the female sexual response.
Mons Veneris and Perineal Care
- The mons veneris, a fatty tissue over the pubic bone, provides cushioning and is involved in perineal care by serving as a surface for cleansing.
- Episiorrhaphy is a surgical procedure to repair an episiotomy or laceration, aiding the healing of vaginal tissues.
- Dark red discharge from the perineal area may indicate retained placental fragments or lacerations.
Postpartum Considerations
- Postpartum hemorrhage is defined as blood loss exceeding 500 mL following vaginal delivery or 1,000 mL after a cesarean section.
- Essential equipment for managing postpartum hemorrhage includes sterile pads, gloves, and a sterile bowl for collecting fluids.
Male Reproductive System Anatomy
- In the male reproductive system, waste is typically lined with paper products for hygiene.
- Vaginal pads should remain free from foul odors, as a musty smell could indicate infection or improper hygiene.
- The prostate gland primarily functions to produce seminal fluid, contributing to sperm mobility and viability.
- Seminiferous tubules are located within the testes and are responsible for sperm production.
Male External Organs
- The penis consists of spongy tissue and contains cavernous bodies that engorge with blood for erection.
- During perineal care, cleaning the near labia majora should involve strokes directed from front to back to prevent infection.
