Study Notes
Female Anatomy & Physiology
- External Structures: Vulva (labia majora, minora, clitoris, vestibule, vestibular glands, hymen, vaginal orifice)
- Internal Structures: Ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, vagina
- Hormones: Estrogen, progesterone
Male Anatomy & Physiology
- External Structures: Scrotum, penis
- Internal Structures: Testes, epididymis, vas deferens, urethra, seminal vesicles, bulbourethral and prostate glands
Common Signs & Symptoms (Female)
- Abdominal and pelvic pain
- Fever and malaise
- Abnormal vaginal discharge
- Burning/itching genitals
- Pain during intercourse
- Breast tissue changes
- Nipple discharge
Common Signs & Symptoms (Male)
- Urinary disorders (frequency, dysuria, nocturia, incontinence)
- Pain in pelvis, groin, or reproductive organs
- Lesions on external genitals
- Swelling of reproductive organs
- Abnormal penile drainage
- Burning/itching genitals
Diagnostic Tests (Female)
- Bimanual examination
- Hysterosalpingogram
- Pap smear
- Cervical biopsy
- Cone biopsy
- Dilation and curettage
- Laparoscopy
- Mammography
- Blood tests
Diagnostic Tests (Male)
- Digital rectal examination
- Cystoscopy
- Biopsy
- Laboratory tests (e.g., PSA)
Female Reproductive System Diseases
- Premenstrual syndrome (PMS)
- Symptoms before menses, including headache, nausea, back/joint pain, edema, bloating, weight gain, breast tenderness, sleep disturbances, irritability, mood swings, and depression
- Individualized treatment includes dietary changes (avoid caffeine, chocolate, nicotine, salt, sugar, alcohol)
- Menstrual abnormalities (amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, metrorrhagia)
Other Female Reproductive System Diseases
- Menopause (natural cessation of menstruation, usually between ages 40-50, potential symptoms including hot flashes, night sweats, psychological symptoms)
- Vaginitis (inflammation of the vagina, caused by bacteria, yeast, or other factors, symptoms include vaginal burning, itching, swelling of vagina, vaginal discharge, etc.)
Male Reproductive System Diseases
- Prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate gland, symptoms include dysuria, pyuria, fever, low back pain)
- Prostatic carcinoma (cancer of the prostate gland, symptoms similar to BPH, treatment depends on the situation)
- Epididymitis/Orchitis (inflammation of the epididymis or testes, respectively, symptoms include swelling, pain, tenderness, fever, malaise)
- Testicular tumors (common in males 20-35, symptoms include painless mass in testicle)
- Cryptorchidism (undescended testicle)
Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs)
- Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)
- Hepatitis (viral infection of the liver) (Hepatitis B and C are spread by sexual intercourse)
- Genital herpes
- Gonorrhea
- Syphilis
- Chlamydia
- Trichomoniasis
Disorders of Pregnancy
- Ectopic pregnancy
- Spontaneous abortion (miscarriage)
- Morning sickness
- Hyperemesis gravidarum (excessive vomiting)
- Toxemia (preeclampsia, symptoms include hypertension, weight gain, proteinuria, edema)
- Abruptio placentae (separation of the placenta from the uterus)
- Placenta previa (abnormal positioning of the placenta)
Sexual Dysfunction
- Dyspareunia (pain during intercourse)
- Female arousal-orgasmic dysfunction
- Impotence (erectile dysfunction, ED)
- Premature ejaculation
- Infertility
Trauma
- Rape
- Difficult recovery
Rare Diseases
- Vaginal cancer
- Puerperal sepsis
- Hydatidiform mole
Effects of Aging (Female/Male)
- Female: thinning/graying of pubic hair, loss of elasticity, shrinking of internal organs, decreased vaginal lubrication, increased need for stimulation and lubricants, breast atrophy
- Male: decrease in testosterone and sperm, decrease in testes size, loss of elasticity of penis and scrotum, thinning/graying of pubic hair, need for greater stimulation for erection, decreased ejaculate volume, enlarged prostate
Cervical Cancer
- Most common cause is HPV (Human Papillomavirus)
- Symptoms include abnormal cervical bleeding
- Risk factors include early age at first intercourse, multiple sex partners, smoking, and males who smoke/have a spouse with cervical cancer
- Prevention includes reducing risk factors and getting regular pap smears.
