External Female Genitals01:15

External Female Genitals

47.5K
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...

Vagina

48.9K
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...

Sexually Transmitted Infections

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...

Procedures for Kidney StonesMedical intervention is necessary when kidney stones or renal calculi are too large to pass spontaneously (typically greater than 5 millimeters) when stones are accompanied by symptomatic infection (such as fever or pyelonephritis), when they impair kidney function, or when they cause persistent symptoms like severe pain, nausea, or urinary retention. Additionally, patients with only one kidney or those who cannot be treated with medical management also require...

Imaging Studies VI: Voiding Cystourethrography and Cystography

3.7K
Voiding Cystourethrography (VCUG) and Cystography are specialized radiographic procedures used to examine the structure and function of the bladder and urethra.Voiding Cystourethrography (VCUG)A Voiding Cystourethrogram (VCUG) is a diagnostic imaging procedure that assesses the anatomy and function of the lower urinary tract. It focuses on the bladder, bladder neck, and urethra, helping detect abnormalities such as vesicoureteral reflux (VUR)—the backward or reverse flow of urine into the...

Urologic Endoscopic Procedure: Cystoscopic Examination

Meaning of Cystoscopic Examination:Cystoscopy is an essential diagnostic tool in urology that is used to assess the structure and function of the genitourinary system. It provides a direct view of the urethra, bladder, and, in some cases, the ureteral openings. This procedure helps detect structural abnormalities, infections, cancers, and blockages in the urinary tract. There are two types of cystoscopy:Flexible cystoscopy is commonly performed in outpatient settings due to its less invasive...

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Female genital mutilation (FGM) is prevalent in Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, and Asia.
  • FGM is associated with acute and delayed complications, including vulvar cysts.
  • Progressively enlarging, painless vulvar cysts are a common late complication of FGM.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a rare case of a vulvar cyst secondary to FGM.
  • To emphasize the need for increased awareness and knowledge of FGM complications in healthcare settings.

Main Methods:

  • Surgical excision of a vulvar cyst.
  • Reconstruction of the labia.
  • Histological examination of the excised cyst.

Main Results:

  • A traumatic squamous epithelial inclusion cyst of the vulva was diagnosed.
  • The cyst was successfully surgically excised and labial reconstruction was performed.

Conclusions:

  • Vulvar cysts following FGM are rare but require surgical intervention.
  • Increasing migration necessitates greater awareness of FGM complications among healthcare providers in Germany.
  • Enhanced knowledge of FGM sequelae is crucial for managing affected girls and young women.
