THE MENSTRUAL CYCLE
It is the cyclical bleeding from the female genital tract which is due to the cyclical changes during endometrium due to the secretion of ovarian hormones. A cycle is counted from the first day of the menstrual bleeding to the first day of next menstrual bleeding.

Menstrual cycle can be divided into four phases.

  1. Menstrual Phase- if the ovum is not fertilized, then menstrual bleeding occurs which lasts for about 3-5 days. There is bleeding and shedding of uterine endometrium. An average of 50-200 ml of blood is lost during each menstrual bleeding.
  2. Proliferative phase –  here damaged endometrial lining is restored. From day 5 to 14, the endometrium thickens and proliferates. Proliferation occurs in the glands, stroma , blood vessels and superficial epithelium. Thickness of uterine endometrium reaches about 4 mm by about 14th day.
  3. Ovulatory phase –  ovulation occurs about the 14th day. Cervical mucus secretion increases and it becomes thinner which helps the penetration of sperms.
  4. Secretory phase /  Luteal phase/ progestational phase – in this phase, the uterine endometrium further thickens,glands increase in length, spiral arteries become coiled and dilated, cervical secretions become thick and tenacious in preparation for implantation of fertilized ovum. These changes end about 28th day of the cycle with the onset of menstruation if the ovum is not fertilized.

Hormonal Control of the Menstrual cycle
The menstrual cycle is regulated by the hormones from the hypothalamus, pituitary and ovaries. The hypothalamus releases gonadotropin releasing hormone which stmulates the synthesis and release of gonadotropins ,FSH and LH. Increase FSH helps in the development of ovarian follicles and stimulates the secretion of oestrogen from ovarian follicles. Increase oestrogen levels causes the changes in the proliferative phase. Serum oestrogen levels becomes peak at about 12 to 13th day. (oestrogen surge) which has a positive feedback on the hypothalamus resulting in increased gonadotropin releasing hormone. This in turn induces a burst of LH secretion (LH surge) from the anterior pituitary which is the cause of rupture of mature graffian follicles to cause ovulation. After ovulation serum LH and FSH decreases in concentration.

The corpus luteum formed from the ruptured follicle secretes progesterone. During the secretory phase, the serum progesterone and oestrogen level rises which reduces the secretion of FSH and LH from the anterior pituitary. Progesterone causes the main changes during secretory phase.  If pregnancy occurs, corpus luteum persists and continue to secrete progesterone and oestrogen. But if fertilization does not occur, the corpus luteum regresses into corpus albicans and serum oestrogen and progesterone level decreases which causes the menstrual bleeding.

MENSTRUAL DISORDERS
1. Amenorrhoea – is the absence of menstruation which may be primary or secondary.PRIMARY amenorrhoea is the condition where menstruation fails to begin by the age of 16 years. Seconday amenorrhoea is the amenorrhoea in a woman after menstruation has been established.(cryptomenorrhoea is where menstrual bleeding occurs but remains concealed due to vaginal occlusion by a congenital septum or atresia)

Amenorrhoea can also be classified as physiological and pathological.

Physiological amenorrhoea

  2. Pituitary infantilism
  3. Hyper prolactinoma
  4. Sheehan’s syndrome(post partal pituitary necrosis due to thrombosis of pituitary blood vessels following post partum haemorrhage)

E.     Gonadotropin releasing hormone deficiency causes hypothalamic amenorrhoea.

F.      Disorders of adrenal glands

  1. Adrenogenital syndrome (caused by a tumor or hyperplasia of adrenal cortex resulting in excessive androgen production. )
  2. Cushing’s syndrome (Cortico steroid hormones are in excess which causes osteoporosis, hirsutism, obesity and amenorrhoea.
  3. Addison’s disease.

G.    Thyroid disorders

H.    Nutritional factors

  1. Starvation,
  2. Extreme obesity
  3. Anorexia nervosa

I.       Drugs

  1. Oral contraceptives
  2. Prostaglandin inhibitors

Management:   Depends upon the underlying causes

DYSMENORRHOEA
It is the painful menstruation incapacitating the women in day today activities.

1.   Spasmodic dysmenorrhoea (primary dysmenorrhoea)

here there is no identifiable  pelvic pathology. May be due to cervical obstruction, psychological factors like low pain threshold, endocrine factors like low progesterone level, intrauterine contraceptive devices and muscular spasms. The pain begins a few hours before or just after the onset of menstruation may last upto 12 hours and accompanied by constitutional symptoms like chills nausea, vomiting and fainting.

2.   Congestive dysmenorrhoea (secondary dysmenorrhoea)

Causes:

  1. Uterine fibroid
  2. Chocolate cyst of ovary
  3. Pelvic endometriosis
  4. Adenomyosis
  5. PID
  6. Salpingoophrites

Here the pain starts 3 to 5 days before menstruation and is relived by the flow..

3.      Membraneous dysmenorrhoea

It is a variety of primary dysmenorrhoea characterized by shedding of large endometrial casts during menses.

PMT
It is a condition where women suffer from excessive premenstrual symptoms which are experienced for 7 to 10 days before the onset of menstruation.

Symptoms: Irritability, lassitude, sleepiness, headache, nausea, constipation, frequency of micturition , weight gain, oedema of legs, fullness and tenderness of breast etc. though the exact aetiology is not known, the PMT is said to be due to excess of oestrogen in relation to the progesterone.

MENORRHAGIA
Is excessive menstrual blood loss both in amount and duration.

Pelvic causes:

  1. Uterine fibroid
  2. Adenomyosis
  3. Ovarian tumors
  4. Pelvic endometriosis

  4. Ca endometrium
  5. Cervical erosion
  6. Cervical polyp

POLYMENORRHOEA (EPIMENORRHOEA)
I is the frequent menstruation at regular intervals of 2 or 3 weeks due to the shortening of the cycle. If it is associated with prolonged bleeding, it is called Epimenorrhagia.

Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding : This is abnormal uterine bleeding where no organic cause can be detected and occur at any age between menarche and menopause.

Metropathica haemorrhagica- it is irregualar anovulatory prolonged bleeding which may last for many weeks and is painless due to the failure of ovarian response to gonadotropins.

VAGINAL DISCHARGE

A.    Physiological :

In healthy women the vagina contains a small amount of watery secretion which contains mucus, desquamated epithelial cells, doderllains bacilli and lactic acid. It is usually colorless.

B .Pathological”

To investigate the pathology behind the vaginal discharge, it is necessary to know the colour, quantity, duration of time it has been present,smell, irritating or not and if it is blood stained or not. An irritating discharge may be due to infection by the trichomonas vaginalis or candida albicans. Yellow discharge may be due to bacterial infections, infected cervical polyp or erosion, acute gonorrhoea, puerperal sepsis or pyometra.Offensive vaginal discharge is characteristic of necrotic lesion of genital tract, carcinoma  of vagina, foreign bodies retained in the vagina. Blood stained discharges occur with oestrogen deficiency, carcinoma of cervix, any ulcerated lesions and in intra uterine pregnancies.

Causes

  1. Cystitis
  2. Trigonitis
  3. Bladder stone or foreign body
  4. Pelvic tumor
  5. Neurological causes

UTI : It is more common in female because of the shorter urethra, proximity of the external urethral meatus to the vaginal and anal openings, sexual intercourse, stasis or urine during pregnancy and peurperium.

            e-coli is the most common causative agent

UTERINE FIBROIDS (FIBROMYOMA/LEIOMYOMA)

Exact aetiology is not known. But there is substantial evidence that oestrogen plays an important role in myomas.

Types:

  1. Intra mural fibroid (interstitial)
  2. Subserous fibroid
  3. Submucus fibroid

Clinical features
Majority are asymptomatic. Symptoms may depend upon the size of the tumor. Abdominal lump. Pressure symptoms, pain, menstrual abnormalities and infertility may be the presenting features.

Diseases of the New born
RDS (Respiratory Distress Syndrome)

Aetiology : the basic abnormality is deficiency in pulmonary surfactant. In the absence of surfactant, the surface tension increases and alveoli collapse during expiration.

RDS appears within 6 hours of life characterized by tachyapnoea, chest retraction and cyanosis.

Diagnosis can be confirmed by X-ray which shows ground glass mottling.

Meconeum aspiration Syndrome

Meconeum aspiration causes chemical pneumonitis or blockage of various airways. This is common in small for date and post mature babies. They develop respiratory distress in the first 24 hours of life.

HAEMOLYTIC DISEASE OF THE NEWBORN
The disease is characterized by excessive haemolysis of the foetal RBC. It is mostly due to incompatibility of the foetal and maternal blood groups. They include Rh incompatibility, ABO group incompatibility  and other antigen incompatibilities.

  2. Ca of Vulva
  3. Ca of vulva contributes about 4.8% of total carcinomas of female genital organs. 3 clinical types are there
  4. The cauliflower growth, the flat indurations and the excavated ulcer. Pruritus is a very common complaint. Diagnosis is made by lump, pruritus and cytology.
  5. Carcinoma Vagina
  6. It contributes about 1.9% of all genital carcinomas. Usually seen in the upper 1/3rd of the posterior vaginal wall as cauliflower growth or indurated ulcer.
  7. Symptoms are pain, bleeding after coitus and later blood stained offensive discharge. 

Ca Cervix
It is the most frequent of all genital tract cancers (about 30%). Occurs frequently in multiparous women. Average age incidence is between 39 and 57. usually presents as cauliflower like growths or excavated ulcers which causes profuse bleeding on even slightest touch. The four main symptoms of Ca Cervix are

  1. haemorrhage
  2. discharge
  3. cachexia
  4. pain.

MEDICAL TERMINATION OF PREGNANCY (ABORTION ACT OF 1067)
According to abortion act of 1967, the circumstances in which abortion may be carried out are as follows.

  1. two registered medical practitioners must form in good faith about the abortion.(section 1(1))
  2. the continuance of pregnancy would involve risk to the pregnant woman (section 1 (1-a))
  3. if cause injury to the physical or mental health of the pregnant woman (section 1 (1-a)
  4. if it would cause injury to the physical or mental health of any existing children of the pregnant woman’s family. (section 1 (1-a)
  5. the child that is to be born would suffer from severe physical or mental abnormalities. (section 1(1-b)

Consent:  A written consent of the patient should be obtained before conducting the MTP. If the patient is an unmarried girl between the ages of 16to18, the patient consent is a must rather than the parent’s consent.

If the patient is under 16, her parents should always be consulted even if the patient forbids it. Still if the patient’s consent is not obtained MTP should not be carried out.
