External Female Genitals01:15

External Female Genitals

55.6K
The vulva encompasses the external structures of the female reproductive system. At the forefront is the monpubis, a cushion of fatty tissue atop the pubic bone. Once puberty sets in, this area typically grows hair. Extending from just behind the mons pubis are the labia majora (labia = 'lips'; majora = 'larger'), which are larger skin fs olds coated with hair. Nestled within are the labia minora (labia = 'lips'; minora = 'smaller'), which are thinner, more...

Sex-linked Disorders01:43

Sex-linked Disorders

93.7K
Like autosomes, sex chromosomes contain a variety of genes necessary for normal body function. When a mutation in one of these genes results in biological deficits, the disorder is considered sex-linked.

Disorders of the Female Reproductive System

4.5K
The female reproductive system can be affected by several disorders, including Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS), Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), endometriosis, and various forms of cancer. PMS and PMDD are cyclical conditions that cause physical and emotional distress, with symptoms that include edema, mood swings, and food cravings. PMDD is a more severe form of PMS characterized by increased symptom severity that peaks during the luteal phase and tends to improve or resolve shortly after...

Sexually Transmitted Infections

1.9K
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are diseases transmitted primarily through unsafe sexual interactions. Bacteria, viruses, or parasites cause them and can result in severe health complications if untreated.ChlamydiaThe bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis is responsible for the disease Chlamydia, the most common STI in the United States. This peculiar pathogen requires human cells to reproduce, residing intracellularly. The initial infection often goes unnoticed because it typically does not...

Vagina01:26

Vagina

61.3K
The vaginal canal is a tubular structure averaging about 10 cm in length that acts as the entryway to the female reproductive system and the passageway for menstrual flow and childbirth. The interior walls of the vagina exhibit concentric folds called rugae and are topped by an area known as the fornix, which connects with the protruding cervical portion of the uterus. This canal is comprised of an external fibrous layer, a muscular middle layer, and an inner lining with mucosal rugae, which...

Microbiota of the Urogenital Tract01:28

Microbiota of the Urogenital Tract

51
The human urogenital system, once thought to be sterile in healthy individuals, is now recognized as a complex microbial habitat. Advancements in molecular sequencing techniques have revealed that even in healthy adults, the kidneys and bladder harbor microbial populations similar to those found in the distal urethra, albeit in much lower abundance. These resident microorganisms, while generally innocuous, can become opportunistic pathogens under conditions that alter the urogenital...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pediatrics

Background:

  • Paediatric vulvar skin conditions are common yet diagnostically challenging.
  • These conditions can cause significant anxiety for affected children and their families.
  • Various etiologies exist, including general dermatologic conditions and specific genital region afflictions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight diagnostic difficulties in paediatric vulvar skin conditions.
  • To emphasize the importance of sensitive evaluation and family support.
  • To outline general and specific management strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Clinical evaluation of paediatric vulvar complaints.
  • Assessment of the impact on patients and families.
  • Review of general and specific therapeutic approaches.

Main Results:

  • Diagnostic challenges are common, leading to family anxiety.
  • Vulvar conditions can affect bowel/bladder habits and behavior.
