Partial mastectomy

removal of tumor and varying amount of tissue around tumor

What causes hot flashes and night sweats?

vasospasm instability

Ovarian Cyst (malignant)

-Slow growing "silent killers" -Early diagnosis uncommon -Recurrence common -Stage I-IV (85% stage III & IV) -Treatment (Surgery, chemo, radioactive implant, radiation) ***5th cancer killer of women!

S/S Breast Cancer

-Unilateral, upper outer quadrant -Nipple discharge, usually bloody -Painless, lump, usually not well defined -Invades surrounding tissue with "crab-like" tenticles -Fibrosis results in puckering (orange skin) appearance

Treatment for Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)

-address the symptoms -lifestyle changes -decrease/stop alcohol and/ or smoking -vitamins, antidepressants, diuretics, NSAIDs

Nipple Discharge

-common occurrence in females -bilateral serous discharge expressed during nipple stimulation can be considered a normal finding -must be evaluated because a small % could be r/t a serious endocrine disorder or malignancy

Fibroadenoma

-benign breast condition -can occur from puberty through menopause -Discrete, solid, non-tender, solitary lumps typically found in upper outer quadrant -Definitive diagnosis is needed to rule out carcinoma via a Mammography, ultrasound, or MRI

What are some treatments for preinvasive cervical cancer?

-cryosurgery -laser -electrosurgical excision LEEP

What is the treatment for fibrocystic changes in the breast?

-diuretics -decrease caffeine -NSAIDs

Benign Neoplasms

-Ovarian cysts (hormonal influences) -Polycystic ovarian syndrome -Uterine polyps (cervix and endometrium) -Leiomyomas (tumors in the muscle of uterus)

What are some treatments for invasive cervical cancer?

-Radical hysterectomy (uterus, BSO, 1/3 of vagina, ligaments, node dissection) -Radiation therapy -Pelvic Exenteration

Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD)

-Severe variant of PMS - 3-8% -Mood disorder: depression, anxiety, tension, anger -Week before and few days after onset of menstruation

Total Mastectomy

(simple) removal of all breast tissue = breast, nipple, areola

Menopause

-1 year without a menstrual period -End of reproduction (fertility) -No follicle = decrease in estrogen and progesterone = amenorrhea

Normal sperm characteristics

-20 million/ml or > 40 million per ejaculate; (vol1.5 to 5 ml) -motile > 50% -normal shape > 30% -viscosity > 3 (0-4) sperm agglutination less than < 2 (0-3)

What are some s/s of POCS?

-Acanthosis nigricans (indicates insulin resistance) -Menstrual cycle disturbances (amenorrhea, anovulation & infertility) -Obesity (central, android, apple) -Hyperandrogenism (hirsutism)

Pathophysiology of Breast Cancer

-Alterations (mutations) in breast cells -Invasive - infiltrating -Noninvasive - in situ -Most frequent - Invasive ductal carcinoma

Risk factors for breast malignancy

-Caucasian, high socioeconomic -Genetics - 5% -Environmental risks -Menarche before 12, menopause after 55 -Nulliparity, estrogen replacement -Obesity, high-fat diet -US (highest rate of breast cancer): 1 in 8

Cervical Cancer (malignant)

-Cell change (dysplasia) -Carcinoma in situ -Gradual onset -detection via pap smear -Invasive carcinoma (cells penetrate into uterus)

What are risk factors for cervical cancer?

-Early age for sexual intercourse -Multiple partners/ partner with multiple

Types of perinatal loss

-Ectopic pregnancy -Miscarriage (loss before 20 weeks) -Stillbirth (loss after 20 weeks) -Neonatal/ Newborn death (live birth followed by death in 28 days)

What is Endometriosis?

-Endometrial tissue is located outside the uterus: attaches to ovaries, fallopian tubes, outer side of uterus, bowels, pelvic wall and rectovaginal septum -All endometrial tissue responds to hormones regardless of location

Management of menopause

-Hormone therapy (HRT) = risks vs. benefits -Weight bearing exercises, supplements -Annual breast exam and mammogram -Estrogen cream -Herbal treatments

Menopause symptoms (result of decreased estrogen)

-Hot flashes, disturbed sleep, mood changes -Lower HDL, increased CVD -Decrease bone density, osteoporosis -Vaginal dryness, cystitis, stress incontinence -Skin dry and thin -More abdominal fat

Treatment for POCS

-Oral Contraceptive (regulate bleeding/hyperandrogenism) -anti-androgens (spironolactone) -insulin lowering medications -lifestyle (diet,exercise,behavioral support/counseling)

Factors that can alter sperm counts

-heat, desk job with less ambulation, hot tubs, saunas chronic infection: TB, sinusitis ( temp), cryptorchidism (undescended testes); -sons of DES mothers (Diethylstilbesterol exposure>abnormal sperm)

vaginismus

-involuntary vaginal contraction -cannot insert anything in (tampon etc)

Endometrial Cancer (malignant)

-most common -50-65 yrs -slow growing -good prognosis -Screening not routine -Metastasis through lymphatic system

Fibrocystic changes in breast tissue

-most common benign breast problem -Palpable thickening, with or without pain and tenderness -Fluctuates with menstrual cycle -70% non-proliferative -25% proliferative (2X risk for breast cancer)

Infertility

-no pregnancy after 1 yr unprotected sex -if female > age 30, consult after 6 months

Intraductal papilloma

-rare, benign condition that develops in the terminal nipple ducts -too small for palpations -clinical presentation with sign of serous, serosanguineous, or bloody nipple discharge (unilateral and spontaneous)

Mastitis

-sore red area on breast -fever, flu-like symptoms -Tx: antibiotic therapy

The nurse in a maternity unit is providing emotional support to a client and her husband who are preparing to be discharged from the hospital after the birth of a dead fetus.

What are late signs of cervical cancer?

back pain and rectal bleeding

Metrorrhagia

bleeding at other times

What is a primary intervention for IPV?

breaking the abuse cycle through community initiatives

What is fibrocystic changes in the breast associated with?

caffeine, ETOH, smoking

What is a secondary intervention for IPV?

dealing with victims and abusers in early stages to prevent progression of abuse

Premenopause

decrease in immature ova

Oligomenorrhea

decreased menstruation, either amount, time, or both
