Plan the investigations of patiens with various gynecological diseases. 4.3 Practical activities (tasks) to be performed on the lesson: To perform gynecological examination (bivalve vaginal speculum, bimanual, rectal, rectovaginal). To collect a specific gynecological anamnesis, to evaluate the findings of laboratory tests. To collect material from the vagina, cervix, cervical canal and urethra for cytological, and bacterioscopic studies. To evaluate the findings of cytological, histological, virological and bacteriological studies. To evaluate the findings of the ultrasonography of organs of the small pelvis. To estimate the protocol of the colposcopy of the cervix and vulva. To make a plan of examination of a patient in various nosological forms of background and precancerous pathology. 4.4 Topic content Investigation methods of gynecological patients. General clinical symptoms of gynecological diseases Examination of the patient, who had been admitted to the gynecological department, consists of anamnesis, objective (general and special) examination, and auxiliary methods. 1.1. Gynecological Anamnesis First, the doctor makes inquiries about the patient’s complaints, then about the development of the given disease (case history, anamnesis morbi), special gynecological history (certificates of the menstrual, sexual, reproductive, and secretory functions, antifertility agent application) (gynecological history, anamnesis gynaecology), and after that about living conditions, the history of diseases, allergic reactions (anamnesis vitae). The questioning is conducted according to a certain plan. 1. Passport data: the surname, name, patronymic name, age of the woman. 2. The patient’s complaints. Most often patients appeal to the doctor with complaints of pain, leucorrhoea, menstrual irregularities, bleeding, and also dysfunction of the adjacent organs (urinary incontinence, frequent urination, constipations, pain in defecating). 3. Case history. The doctor should find out how the disease began – acutely or gradually, what might have promoted disease development, whether there have been any examinations or treatment. 4. Gynecological history includes information about the menstrual, sexual, reproductive, and secretory functions of the woman. Menstrual function: the age of the first menstruation (menarche), the presence or absence of pain, menstruation duration, its regularity, menstrual cycle change after deliveries and abortions, the presence and duration of menopause, the date of the last menstruation. Sexual function: at what age the woman began sexual life, if there were any signs of the disease when she began sexual life or changed partner, how many sexual partners the woman has at the same time, what contraception method is preferred. Reproductive function: in what time interval after beginning sexual life without contraception the woman became pregnant for the first time, how many pregnancies the woman has had (deliveries, abortions), if there have been any complications after deliveries or abortions. Secretory function: the information about the quantity, smell, appearance, and periodicity of the vaginal discharge. Correctly collected gynecological anamnesis allows giving a provisional diagnosis with satisfactory accuracy. However, the doctor can draw the final conclusion about the disease only after an objective examination of the patient. 5. Life history: under what conditions the woman used to live and develop, what diseases she has had, allergic anamnesis, the presence of any pernicious habits (smoking, alcoholism, drug addiction). 6. Objective examination methods. 1.2. The basic methods of gynecological examination Gynecological examination is carried out on a gynecological chair. The woman is lying on her back with her legs half-bent in the knee and hip joints. Before examination the woman must necessarily evacuate the urinary bladder; if it is necessary, a cleansing enema is given. The doctor examines the woman in sterile gloves. Examination of the external genitals: pubis (its form, the state of the hypoderm, the pattern of hair distribution – adult woman, adult male, or mixed), perineum, large and small lips of pudendum (size, presence of edemas, ulcers, tumors, condylomatous excrescences, the degree of pudendal fissure closure); examination of the external urethral orifice, clitoris, internal surface of the large and small lips of pudendum (color, the state of the mucous tunic, pigmentation, ulcers), detecting the size of the Bartholin’s glands (location of their excretory ducts, the character of the secret, the presence of swelling and reddening around the orifice), posterior labial commissure (ruptures, scars), detecting falling and prolapse of the vaginal walls and uterus. The doctor obligatorily assesses the state of the hymen (intact, ruptured, acute ruptures). Simultaneously the doctor finds signs of infantilism (a narrow pudendal fissure, the large lips of pudendum
