External Female Genitals01:15

External Female Genitals

19.9K
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...

Nursing Assessment of the Genitourinary System II: Inspection and Palpation

435
The nursing assessment of the genitourinary (GU) system involves a systematic inspection and palpation to identify abnormalities in the kidneys, bladder, and surrounding structures.InspectionMouth: Inspect for signs of kidney dysfunction, such as stomatitis (inflammation of the mouth) and ammonia breath, which may occur in advanced kidney disease due to the buildup of urea, breaking down into ammonia.Skin: Check for pallor, which could indicate anemia caused by kidney disease. Look for...

Nursing Assessment of the Genitourinary System III: Percussion and Auscultation

339
The genitourinary system maintains the body's fluid balance, waste excretion, and overall homeostasis. Proper assessment is essential for early detection of disorders, with percussion and auscultation integral to this evaluation. These methods help identify signs of kidney or bladder issues and provide important diagnostic clues.Percussion for Kidney TendernessPercussion is used to assess tenderness and detect kidney and bladder abnormalities. A common method for determining kidney tenderness...

Men's health issues are increasingly recognized as significant, with several conditions posing common threats. Among these, testicular cancer is especially prevalent in younger men, particularly those aged 20 to 35 years. The disease often manifests as a painless mass in the testicles, sometimes accompanied by a sensation of heaviness or a dull ache.
Prostate disorders are another major concern. These conditions can impair urinary flow due to the prostate's location around the urethra....

Imaging Studies VI: Voiding Cystourethrography and Cystography

463
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...

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...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pediatrics

Background:

  • A specialized vulval clinic was established in 2008 at the University Clinic of Schleswig Holstein, Campus Luebeck.
  • The clinic has seen a significant number of pediatric referrals, highlighting the need for specialized care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the spectrum of pediatric vulval conditions treated at a specialized clinic.
  • To assess the impact of these conditions on the quality of life in affected children and adolescents.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of patient data from 2008 to October 2020.
  • Inclusion of patients aged 1-17 years.
  • Quality of life assessment using the pediatric version of the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) in a subset of patients.

Main Results:

  • A total of 1227 patients were referred, including 91 children and 17 adolescents.
  • The most frequent diagnoses in children were lichen sclerosus (33%), vulvitis (23%), and vulval psoriasis (7%).
  • A mean DLQI score of 7.2 (out of 30) indicated a notable impairment in quality of life for children with vulval diseases.

Conclusions:

  • Vulval diseases are prevalent in pediatric populations and require specialized dermatological attention.
  • Pediatric vulval conditions are associated with a significant negative impact on quality of life.
  • The findings underscore the importance of addressing quality of life in the management of pediatric vulval conditions.
