Q

urethritis causes

Study These Flashcards
A
  • bubble baths
  • scented wipes
  • nylon underwear
  • Self-manipulation
  • Child Abuse
22
Q

tx of urethritis

Study These Flashcards
A

o If caused by a new product, stop the product
o Avoid touching the area
o Avoid long bubble baths
o Can do a baking soda bath:
* 1 cup of baking soda per ½ tub of water
* Soak in this for 10-15 minutes
* This will help neutralize irritants
* Rinse well after

23
Q

ovarion torsion

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Ovarian (adnexal torsion) occurs when the ovary/fallopian tube becomes twisted around the tissue that supports it.
  • Most commonly occurs during reproductive years, although can occur outside of this window as well
  • Extremely painful
  • Cuts off blood supply to the area
24
Q

risk factors for ovarian torsion

Study These Flashcards
A

o PCOS
o Have a long ovarian ligament
o Hx of tubal ligation
o Pregnancy
o Ovarian cyst history
o You are undergoing hormonal treatments, usually for infertility, which stimulates the ovary

25
ovarian torsion: s/s
Sudden onset/without warning of: * severe, sudden pain in the lower abdomen (there is always pain associated with torsion); if no pain, do not worry about torsion * Cramping * Nausea * Vomiting * In some cases, pain, cramping, and tenderness in the lower abdomen may come and go for several weeks. This can occur if the ovary is attempting to twist back into the correct position.
26
ovarian torsion tx
Medical Emergency: * Emergency Surgery to correct it; only viable for 6-8 hours if strangulated * Recommend NPO on the way to the ED
27
testicular torsion
* Testicular torsion occurs when a testicle rotates, twisting the spermatic cord that brings blood to the scrotum. The reduced blood flow causes sudden and often severe pain and swelling.
28
risk factors of testicular torsion
o Most common between the ages of 12-18 o Previous torsion o Family history of torsion
29
causes of testicualr torsion
* Can be precipitated by an “event”: kick in the testicles, getting a ball kicked in the groin, spinning, rough sex etc…
30
s/s testicular torsion
o Sudden, severe pain in the scrotum — the loose bag of skin under your penis that contains the testicles o Swelling of the scrotum o Abdominal pain o Nausea and vomiting o A testicle that's positioned higher than normal or at an unusual angle o Frequent urination o Fever
31
testing for testicular torsion
Prehn's sign: * If lifting of the testicle exacerbates/worsens the pain, high suspicion of torsion
32
GU adhesions
* Labial adhesions in females * Penile adhesions in males * Both considered physiologic prior to puberty and most resolve spontaneously with hormone changes
33
GU adhesions tx
* Topical application of Premarin cream for females * Topical steroid (betamethasone 0.1%) in males
34
phimosis
* When foreskin can’t be pulled down (retracted) from the tip of the penis * Common in young uncircumcised boys
35
phimosis: s/s
o Bulging of the foreskin during urination o Not able to fully retract the foreskin by 3 years old; occasionally it can take longer
36
phimosis: tx
o Topical steroid (betamethasone 0.1%) in males o Circumcision
37
paraphimosis
* When foreskin is retracted but can’t move back up * Can prevent blood flow in penis
38
paraphimosis: s/s
o Swelling of the tip of the penis when the foreskin is pulled back o Pain o Not able to pull the foreskin back over the tip of the penis o Tip of the pneis that is dark red/blue in color
39
paraphimosis: tx
o Lubricating the foreskin and the tip of the penis, then gently squeezing teh tip of the penis while pulling the foreskin forward o Making a small incision in the foreskin o Circumcision
40
balanitis
* Pain/inflammation of the glans of the penis * Most often in uncircumcised males * Typically caused by yeast, however can also be bacterial/viral * Not contagious
41
balanitis risk factors
o Poor hygiene o Diabetic o Obese o Sensitivity to chemical irritants
42
balanitis s/s
o pain/inflammation of the glans of the penis o Redness/red patches on the penis o Itching under the foreskin o Swelling o Areas of shiny/white skin on the penis o White discharge (smegma) under the foreskin o Foul smell o Painful urination o Sores/lesions on the glans
43
balanitis diagnosis
o Physical exam o You can swab/culture o Urine sample to rule out UTI/STI
44
balanitits tx
o Antifungal creams * Clotrimazole o Antibiotics (if caused by STI) o Discuss improving hygiene o Diabetic Management o Circumcision: if recurrent, this will be the recommendation
45
vulvovaginitis
vulva becomes very irritated and inflamed, which becomes swollen and red
46
vulvovaginitis s/s
o Dysuria, usually transient and without fever or other signs of UTI o Itching o Burning o Perceived excessive “touching down there” o Discharge o Redness in vulva
47
vulvovaginitis common findings
o Erythema, rash or fissure o Whitish, cheesy discharge o Thin, milky discharge o Yellowish, foul-smelling discharge o More rare: trauma or foreign body
48
common causes of vulvovaginitis
* Poor hygiene * Irritation from moisture * Tight fitting clothes * Obesity * Soaps and detergents * Toilet paper or masturbation * Pinworms * Foreign body (toilet paper or bath toys) * Physiologic leukorrhea (common just prior to menarche)
49
less common causes
Bacterial infection * Strep: may see serous drainage or greenish mucoid discharge * Yeast * more likely in adolescence or post-menarchal patients * common in diabetic teens poorly managed
50
tx of vulvovaginitis
o Check UA/urine culture if suspicious for UTI o Review healthy potty and hygiene habits o Avoid irritants o Vaginal culture and empiric treatment for suspected bacterial infection o Culture and/or treat for yeast * If recent antibiotic or steroid use * If diabetic patient * If postmenarchal
