  5. Menstruation • SEE PAGE 454 Figure 16.9 • Each month the uterus prepares for possible pregnancy. • If pregnancy doesn’t occur, the lining of the uterus (endometrium) isn’t needed and breaks down into blood, tissue, and fluid (this is known as menstruation). • Menstruation typically lasts 5-7 days. • Most females begin their first menstrual cycle between the ages of 10-15. • Poor nutrition, stress, excessive exercise, low body weight and illness can influence menstruation • Menopause: the end of the reproductive years, which usually occurs between ages 45-55

  7. Maintaining Reproductive Health • Bathe regularly: Shower or bathe daily, and change tampons or sanitary pads every few hours during the menstrual cycle. • Have regular medical exams: This includes a Pap smear test for cancerous cells on the cervix, as well as a mammogram to test for breast cancer. Report any abnormalities to your doctor. • Practice Abstinence: To avoid unwanted pregnancy and STD’s • PAGE 455 Figure 16.10: Breast Self-Exam

  8. Problems of the Female Reproductive System • Menstrual Cramps: Sometimes occurs at the beginning of a menstrual period. Light exercise or heating pad may help • Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS): Caused by hormonal changes. Symptoms may be experienced 1-2 weeks before menstruation. Symptoms include nervous tension, anxiety, irritability, bloating, weight gain depression, mood swings, and fatigue. • Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS): Serious bacterial infection that effects the immune system and liver, and can be fatal. To reduce the risk, use tampons with low absorbency and change often.

  9. Other Female Reproductive Disorders • Endometriosis: Uterine tissue grows in the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or the lining of the pelvic cavity. • Vaginitis: Is caused by a bacterial infection. If not treated with antibiotics, it may lead to pelvic inflammatory disease. • Ovarian cysts: Fluid filled sacs on the ovary. Small cysts usually disappear on their own, large ones may require surgery. • Cervical, uterine, and/or ovarian cancer: Early sexual activity and STD’s are related to cervical cancer. Regular checkups are important for early detection and treatment
