According to Bulletti, et. al. (2010), “Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial-like tissue (glands and stroma) outside the uterus, which induces a chronic inflammatory reaction, scar tissue, and adhesions that may distort a woman’s pelvic anatomy. Endometriosis is primarily found in young women, but its occurrence is not related to ethnic or social group distinctions. Patients with endometriosis mainly complain of pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, and dyspareunia.

I had to go against my parents wishes because they didn’t want me to go forward with the surgery. The procedure took 3 to 4 hours which is about the normal amount of time it takes. I woke up with minimal pain and four to five laparoscopic incisions. The day of my surgery I could not have any food or drinks, only the fluids I was getting through my IV.
The suprapubic catheter is placed through a small incision in the abdomen and directly into the bladder, this is to help avoid using the urethrae. This type of catheter is held in place by a body seal system, sutures and tape. When caring for a patient with this type you want to make sure that you don’t use or put any kind of tension of the catheter. You want to make sure to keep bag below their bladder level and to keep things clean. The condom catheter is used for male patients and is a soft sheath made of rubber and is used for patients that are comatose, incontinent and for any who’s bladder empties continuously.

Knowing that uterine fibroids are prominent in women, especially pre-menopausal women, yet there has not been any preventive care setup for this issue is very alarming. Using research like study done by Martin-Merino et. al.

In serious situations it can lead to death, by patients that refuse medical care and others that develop an undesirable autonomic nervous system reaction response known as vasovagal reaction which can be triggered by needle puncture. A vasovagal reaction can also manifest itself as syncope, where physiologically it is characterized by a slow on heart rate and drop of blood pressure, resulting in a lack of blood supply to the brain causing fainting and confusion. In patients with arteries compromised by atherosclerosis the non-efficient blood supply can lead to myocardial infarction. Evaluation of vital signs during the venipuncture procedure can be vital for prevention of these reactions and in Mrs. Jo's situation there was no substantial alteration or

Do not manipulate or recap used needles using both hands and any other technique whereby the exposed needle is directed toward any part of the body. If necessary, use of a one-handed "scoop" technique or mechanical recapping device is recommended. Use forceps, suture holders or other instruments and avoid "blind" actions when suturing. Never leave used sharps on a tray, bed, counter, exam table, or other location for someone else to dispose. As soon as possible, do it yourself.
Gynecomastia (Breasts on a Man) Men have breasts but with minimal glandular tissue present. Gynecomastia refers to the development of female-quantity breast glands in the male patient. Most cases begin during puberty. No one knows why certain adolescent males develop breast tissue, but it is probably caused by having either higher levels of hormones in the blood or an increased sensitivity of normal breast tissue to typical levels of circulating hormones, especially the female hormone called estrogen. Alternatively, it may be due to either decreased levels of male hormones (such as testosterone) or insensitivity to these hormones.
