MATERNAL/OB NOTES Human Sexuality A. Concepts 1. A person’s sexuality encompasses the complex behaviors, attitudes emotions and preferences that are related to sexual self and eroticism. 2. Sex – basic and dynamic aspect of life 3. During reproductive years, the nurse performs as resource person on human sexuality. B. Definitions related to sexuality: Gender identity – sense of femininity or masculinity 2-4 yrs/3 yrs gender identity develops. Role identity – attitudes, behaviors and attributes that differentiate roles Sex – biologic male or female status. Sometimes referred to a specific sexual behavior such as sexual intercourse. Sexuality - behavior of being boy or girl, male or female man/ woman. Entity life long dynamic change. - developed at the moment of conception. II. Sexual Anatomy and Physiology A. Female Reproductive System 1. External value or pretender a. Mons pubis/veneris - a pad of fatty tissues that lies over the symphysis pubis covered by skin and at puberty covered by pubic hair that serves as cushion or protection to the symphysis pubis. Stages of Pubic Hair Development Tannerscale tool - used to determine sexual maturity rating. Stage 1 – Pre-adolescence. No pubic hair. Fine body hair only Stage 2 – Occurs between ages 11 and 12 – sparse, long, slightly pigmented & curly hair at pubis symphysis Stage 3 occurs between ages 12 and 13 – darker & curlier at labia Stage 4 – occurs between ages 13 and 14, hair assumes the normal appearance of an adult but is not so thick and does no appear to the inner aspect of the upper thigh. Stage 5 sexual maturity- normal adult- appear inner aspect of upper thigh . b. Labia Majora - large lips longitudinal fold, extends symphisis pubis to perineum c. Labia Minora – 2 sensitive structures clitoris- anterior, pea shaped erectile tissue with lots sensitive nerve endings sight of sexual arousal (Greek-key) fourchette- Posterior, tapers posteriorly of the labia minora- sensitive to manipulation, torn during delivery. Site – episiotomy. d. Vestibule – an almond shaped area that contains the hymen, vaginal orifice and bartholene’s glands. [Type the company name]

10. Menstrual Cycle 4 phases of Menstrual Cycle 1. Phases of Menstrual Cycle: 1. Proliferative 2. Secretory 3. Ischemic 4. Menses Parts of body responsible for mens: 1. hypothalamus 2. anterior pituitary gland – master clock of body 3. ovaries 4. uterus Initial phase – 3rd day – decreased estrogen 13th day – peak estrogen, decrease progesterone 14th day – Increase estrogen, increase progesterone 15th day – Decrease estrogen, increase progesterone I. On the initial 3rd phase of menstruation , the estrogen level is decreased, this level stimulates the hypothalamus to release GnRH or FSHRF II. GnRH/FSHRF – stimulates the anterior pituitary gland to release FSH Functions of FSH: 1. Stimulate ovaries to release estrogen 2. Facilitate growth primary follicle to become graffian follicle (secrets large amt estrogen & contains mature ovum.) III. Proliferative Phase – proliferation of tissue or follicular phase, post mens phase. Preovularoty. -phase of increase estrogen. Follicular Phase – causing irregularities of mens Postmenstrual Phase Preovulatory Phase – phase increase estrogen 13th day of menstruation, estrogen level is peak while the progesterone level is down, these stimulates the hypothalamus to release GnRF on LHRF Mittelschmerz – slight abdominal pain on L or RQ of abdomen, marks ovulation day. 2.) Change in BBT, mood swing IV.

1.)

V.

GnRF/LHRF stimulates the ant pit gland to release LH. Functions of LH: 1. (13th day-decreased progesterone) LH stimulates ovaries to release progesterone 2. hormone for ovulation VI. 14th day estrogen level is increased while the progesterone level is increased causing rupture of graffian follicle on process of ovulation. VII. 15th day, after ovulation day, graafian follicle starts to degenerate yellowish known as corpus luteum (secrets large amount of progesterone) VIII.

Postovulatory Phase Increased progesterone Premenstrual Phase IX. 24th day if no fertilization, corpus luteum degenerate ( whitish – corpus albicans) X.

28th day – if no sperm in ovum – endometrium begins to slough off to begin mens

Fornix- where sperm is deposited Sperm- small head, long tail, pearly white Phonones-vibration of head of sperm to determine location of ovum Sperm should penetrate corona radiata and zona pellocida. Capacitation- ability of sperm to release proteolytic enzyme to penetrate corona radiata and zona pellocida. 11. Stages of Sexual Responses (EPOR) Initial responses: Vasocongestion – congestion of blood vessels Myotonia – increase muscle tension 1. Excitement Phase – (sign present in both sexes, moderate increase in HR, RR,BP, sex flush, nipple erection) – erotic stimuli cause increase sexual tension, lasts minutes to hours. 2. Plateau Phase – (accelerated V/S) – increasing & sustained tension nearing orgasm. Lasts 30 seconds – 3 minutes. 3. Orgasm – (involuntary spasm throughout body, peak v/s) involuntary release of sexual tension with physiologic or psychologic release, immeasurable peak of sexual experience. May last 2 – 10 sec- most affected are is pelvic area. 4. Resolution – (v/s return to normal, genitals return to pre-excitement phase) Refractory Period – the only period present in males, wherein he cannot be restimulated for about 1015 minutes A. Fertilization B. Stages of Fetal Growth and Development 3-4 days travel of zygote – mitotic cell division begins *Pre-embryonic Stage a. Zygote- fertilized ovum. Lifespan of zygote – from fertilization to 2 months b. Morula – mulberry-like ball with 16 – 50 cells, 4 days free floating & multiplication c. Blastocyst – enlarging cells that forms a cavity that later becomes the embryo. Blastocyst – covering of blastocys that later becomes placenta & trophoblast d. Implantation/ Nidation- occurs after fertilization 7 – 10 days. Fetus- 2 months to birth. placenta previa – implantation at low side of uterus Signs of implantation: 3 1. slight pain 2. slight vaginal spotting - if with fertilization – corpus luteum continues to function & become source of estrogen & progesterone while placenta is not developed.

Leopold’s Maneuver Purpose: is done to determine the attitude, fetal presentation lie, presenting part, degree of descent, an estimate of the size, and number of fetuses, position, fetal back & fetal heart tone - use palm! Warm palm. Prep mom: 1. Empty bladder 2. Position of mom-supine with knee flex (dorsal recumbent – to relax abdominal muscles) Procedure: 1st maneuver: place patient in supine position with knees slightly flexed; put towel under head and right hip; with both hands palpate upper abdomen and fundus. Assess size, shape, movement and firmness of the part to determine presentation 2nd Maneuver: with both hands moving down, identify the back of the fetus ( to hear fetal heart sound) where the ball of the stethoscope is placed to determine FHT. Get V/S(before 2nd maneuver) PR to diff fundic soufflé (FHR) & uterine soufflé. Uterine soufflé – maternal H rate 3rd Maneuver: using the right hand, grasp the symphis pubis part using thumb and fingers. To determine degree of engagement. Assess whether the presenting part is engaged in the pelvis )Alert : if the head is engaged it will not be movable). 4th Maneuver: the Examiner changes the position by facing the patient’s feet. With two hands, assess the descent of the presenting part by locating the cephalic prominence or brow. To determine attitude – relationship of fetus to 1 another. When the brow is on the same side as the back, the head is extended. When the brow is on the same side as the small parts, the head will be flexed and vertex presenting. Attitude – relationship of fetus to a part – or degree of flexion Full flexion – when the chin touches the chest 8.Assessment of Fetal Well-BeingA.
