+ The Female Reproductive System Lauren Fowlkes Chapter 10 Presentation
+ Statements The study of the female reproductive system is the medical specialty of gynecology. A physician who specializes in the treatment of women is called a gynecologist. The time required for the development of a fetus is called gestation.
+ Gynecology The word gynecology stems from the Greek words gyne meaning woman and logia meaning study. The organs involved are the female reproductive organs, which include the internal genitalia (ie. uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes and the vagina) and the external genitalia (ie. the vulva). Gynecology is typically a consultant specialty where patients are examined for conditions of the female reproductive system once a year or when an issue presents itself.
+ Gynecology Exam The visit consists of a patient history assessment, Pap smear and pelvic examination. The pelvic examination examines the vagina and adjacent organs with the help of an instrument called a speculum. A Pap smear is a cell scraping of the cervix to microscopically examine them for cancer and other abnormalities.
+ Gynecologist The training required to become a gynecologist is four years of medical school and then four years of a residency program. Most gynecologists are also obstetricians as well and for short are called OB-GYNs. Obstetrics is simply the study of the female reproductive system during pregnancy, so it is easy to see how these two specialties would be grouped together.
+ What they treat? Although practices vary, OB-GYNs may treat patients for Preventative care Breast cancer Cervical cancer Pelvic disorders Hormonal disorders Contraceptive measures Pregnancy/Childbirth Sexually Transmitted Diseases Postpartum care Menstruation issues Menopause concerns
+ Gestation Gestation is the time it takes for the fetus to develop, which is typically forty weeks. The gestation period begins at fertilization and ends at birth. Gestation is divided into three trimesters consisting of about thirteen weeks each. During gestation the fetus grows and develops to prepare for life outside the womb. All major organ systems are formed during the first trimester. A fetus receives all of its vital nourishment from the mother during gestation.
