Reproductive disorder


Slide Content

Adult health nursing-I Topic:- Reproductive disorder Male Female 16/02/2021 1

Objectives: Review the anatomy and physiology of female reproductive system Discuss the function of the supporting ligaments and pelvic floor muscles in maintaining the position of the pelvic organs Discuss the alteration in estrogen and progesterone levels as a cause of dysfunctional menstrual cycle 16/02/2021 2

Cont……. Discuss the causes, pathophysiology and manifestation of the following female reproductive disorder Discuss the diagnostic, medical and surgical management of the reproductive disorders Apply nursing process to provide care to clients with reproductive disorder Develop a teaching plan for a client experiencing disorders of the reproductive system 16/02/2021 3

Function of ligaments and pelvic floor muscles The pubocervical  ligaments  are bilateral structures, which attach the cervix to the posterior surface of the  pubic  symphysis. They  function  to  support  the uterus within the  pelvic  cavity. The uterosacral  ligaments  are also bilateral fibrous bands, which attach the cervix to the sacrum. 16/02/2021 4

Female reproductive organs Internal organs Vagina Uterus Fallopian tubes Cervix ovaries External organ Mons pubis Labia majora Labia minora Clitoris Hymen Bartholin's glands Fourchette Urethral opening vaginal opening 16/02/2021 5

16/02/2021 6

Function of pelvic floor muscles: 16/02/2021 7

16/02/2021 8

Structure and function of female reproductive system: Mons pubis: pear shaped and rough in appearance Labia majora: outer lip and protects internal structure Labia minora: inner lips Clitoris: most sensitive and main function is sexual pleasure. Hymen: thin membrane that rupture after intercourse. Bartholin’s glands: secrete mucous for lubrication . 16/02/2021 9

Fourchette: ending of labia majora. Vaginal opening : site for the ejection of penis. Urethral opening: site for the urination. Ovaries: production of egg. Fallopian tubes : a. transport ova from ovary to uterus each month. b. Fertilization of egg and sperm. Uterus: pear like structure known as womb and nourishment and house a fertilized egg until the fetus or offspring is ready to be delivered. 16/02/2021 10

Alternation in estrogen and progesterone level:- Progesterone  is used along with  estrogen  in women who still have their uterus. In these women,  estrogen -- if taken without  progesterone --increases a woman's risk for cancer of the endometrium (the lining of the uterus). During a woman's reproductive years, cells from the endometrium are shed during menstruation. Excess  estrogen  can increase the risk of breast cancer and reproductive cancers. While  progesterone  does have an anti-cancer effect, it also provides benefits to all cells in the body including the brain, heart, nerves, skin and bones 16/02/2021 11

Causes of dysfunction in menstrual cycle: Menstrual disorders can be caused by a variety of factors, including: Uterine fibroids. Hormonal imbalances. Clotting  disorders . Cancer. Sexually transmitted infections ( STIs ) Polycystic ovary syndrome ( PCOS ) - cysts on the ovaries. Genetics. 16/02/2021 12
