Function of the pudendal nerve: (3)
1- sensory innervation to the external genitalia
2- innervates the striatal urethra and anal sphincters
3- innervates deep and superficial perineal structures
Where pudendal nerve block administered
ischial spine
main arterial supply of the perineum and lower 1/3rd of the vagina
Internal pudendal artery
artery that supplies upper 2/3rds of the vagina
Vaginal artery
main arterial supply of the uterus
Uterine artery
main supply to the ovary
Ovarian artery
Right ovarian vein returns to the:
IVC
Left ovarian vein returns to the:
Left renal vein
Drainage of the ovaries:
travels with the ovarian vessels to the para-aortic lymph nodes
Drainage of the uterus and the upper two-thirds of the vagina:
flows through the obturator and internal and external iliac lymph nodes, ultimately draining into the common iliac nodes
Drainage of distal one-third of the vagina, urethra, and vulva:
drains to the inguinal lymph nodes
Two synovial joints of the bony pelvis:
sacroiliac joints and lumbosacral joints
–unflexible
Two cartilaginous joints of the bony pelvis:
sacrococcygeal and symphysis pubis joint
–flexible and react to relaxin
pelvimetry is used to assess for
cephalopelvic disproportion
heavy or prolonged flow
menorrhagia
development of breasts
thelarche
bleeding at irregular intervals between periods
metorrhagia
pain with menses
dysmenorrhea
age at first menstruation
menarche
Ligaments suspending the uterus: 3
round ligament
cardinal ligament
uterosacral ligament
MOST reliable indicator of ovulation:
LH surge
What Tanner Stage and age it occurs:
No breast budding, no pubic hair growth
Tanner Stage 1
<10 yo
What Tanner Stage and age it occurs:
Small breast buds; fine, delicate, fuzzy pubic hair growth
Tanner Stage 2
9-13 yo
What Tanner Stage and age it occurs:
Enlarging breast buds ; increased pubic hair, mainly in the center and not extending out to thighs or upward; dark and coarser
Tanner Stage 3
12-14 yo
