40
How should the patient lay for a palpation?

41
Who does this happen in? Breasts are enlarged temporarily due to passively transferred maternal estrogen. Rarely more than 1-1.5 cm in diameter and usually disappears within 2 weeks
Infants
42
Who does this happen in? Normal for breasts to develop asymmetrically in females Many males may have transient unilateral or bilateral subareolar masses at puberty. This is normal and usually disappears within a year. Gynecomastia is also common in males at puberty. Usually temporary, benign and resolves spontaneously.
adolescents
43
Who does this happen in? Experience sensation of fullness with tingling, tenderness, and enlargement. Important to have adequate breast support. Breasts feel lobular because of hypertrophy of mammary alveoli and dilated subcutaneous veins may be more prominent

46

48
Vestibule has 6 openings, what are they?

49

Posterior wall of vagina is separated from the rectum by the rectovaginal septum. o Pocket around cervix is divided into the anterior, posterior and lateral fornices. Internal pelvic organs can be palpated through these fornices. o Uterus is flattened anteroposteriorly and usually inclines forward at a 45 degree angle. It may also be anteverted, anteflexed, retroverted, or retroflexed. Uterus opens into vagina via the external cervical os o Adnexa of uterus comprise of the fallopian tubes and ovaries
internal genitalia
50

bony pelvis
51
When is the uterus enlarged due to high hormone levels and pressure from the fetus. Hormonal activity softens the pelvic cartilage and strengthens the pelvic ligaments.
Pregnant women
52
Who does this happen in: During menopause, estrogen levels decrease causing the labia and clitoris to become smaller. Adrenal androgens and ovarian testosterone levels decrease which may account for decreases in libido and in muscle mass and strength. Vaginal mucosa becomes thin, pale and dry which may result in dyspareunia (painful sex). Ligaments and connective tissue of the pelvis sometimes lose their elasticity and tone, thus weakening the support sling for pelvic contents.
