REASONS FOR SEEKING CARE OR CHIEF COMPLAINTS (top 3) sobrang sumasakit ang puson ko sobrang lakas ng regla ko, nag umpisa sya ng ganito kalakas nung April netong taon lang..umpisa nun buwan buwan na ganito napapatagal yung buwanang dalaw ko D. HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS/ OR PRESENT HEALTH Two months prior to admission, the client experienced abnormally heavy and prolonged menstruation and dysmenorrhea as well. She reported that from three feminine pads moderately soaked it increased to five pads fully-soaked per day, and from her regular three-day period, it increased to five days accompanied with menstrual pains (a scale of eight out of ten from the pain scale) but no consultation occurred. Two weeks prior to admission, there was persistence of the above symptoms and the client decided to consult a doctor and had an ultrasound (trans-v) which showed the back part of her uterus to have an abnormality and also showed that her left ovary has an overgrowth. After these discoveries, she was scheduled for an operation to remove her uterus, fallopian tubes and her ovaries. The client was admitted to the hospital two days before her scheduled operation. E.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC The client is a plain housewife and currently living with her husband and two daughters and both of them are still students. The familys source of income is from her husband who is a supervisor in a resort. She claimed that her husbands income is enough for them. H. DEVELOPMENTAL HISTORY Middle Adulthood: 35 to 55 or 65 Ego Development Outcome: Generativity vs. Self absorption or Stagnation Basic Strengths: Production and Care Now work is most crucial. Erikson observed that middle-age is when we tend to be occupied with creative and meaningful work and with issues surrounding our family. Also, middle adulthood is when we can expect to "be in charge," the role we've longer envied. The significant task is to perpetuate culture and transmit values of the culture through the family (taming the kids) and working to establish a stable environment. Strength comes through care of others and production of something that contributes to the betterment of society, which Erikson calls generativity, so when we're in this stage we often fear inactivity and meaninglessness. As our children leave home, or our relationships or goals change, we may be faced with major life changes the mid-life crisis and struggle with finding new meanings and purposes. If we don't get through this stage successfully, we can become self-absorbed and stagnate. Significant relationships are within the workplace, the community and the family. J.L.B. is worried about her children and the things to do at home since she is the one who is in charge of them like household chores and taking care of her childrens needs. During the

interview, it showed that she gets her strength from her significant others especially her husband and her daughters. I. REVIEW OF SYSTEM AND PHYSICAL EXAMINATION 1. ROS AND PE System a.

J.FUNCTIONAL ASSESSMENT A. Health-Perception-Health Management Pattern Patient still feels that her body is weak since she just had an operation. Her diet is more on vegetables and fish and the patient thinks that these things nurses or doctors would suggest. In the past, it has been also easy for her to find ways to follow things nurses or doctors suggest The patient does not know the exact cause of her illness and she consulted a doctor after having heavy, prolonged and painful period. That decision was important for her because if she did not decide to go to a doctor, she would not have known the cause of those symptoms. B. Self-esteem, Self-concept/Self-perception Pattern The patient would describe herself as a very patient person. Most of the time, she feels good about herself but since the illness started, the patient felt that her body became weak.

There is nothing that frequently makes her angry and annoyed. The only thing that makes her anxious and fearful is when she gets bad news about her mothers health. C. Activity-Exercise Pattern She has sufficient energy for completing required activities like the household chores but has no regular exercise; considers her everyday chores as her informal exercise. She watches television and sings on the karaoke whenever she has spare time. Below are the different activities and its corresponding functional level.

IV. ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY

FALLOPIAN TUBES

Uterus The uterus is located inside the pelvis immediately dorsal (and usually somewhat rostral) to the urinary bladder and ventral to the rectum. The human uterus is pear-shaped and about 3 in. (7.6 cm) long. The uterus can be divided anatomically into four segments: The fundus, corpus, cervix and the internal os. The Uterus is the organ of pregnancy as this is where implantation and development of the fetus occurs. Fallopian tube The fallopian tubes stretch from the uterus to the ovaries and measure about 8 to 10 cm (4 to 6 inches) in length. The ends of the fallopian tubes lying next to the ovaries feather into ends called fimbria (Latin for "fringes" or "fingers"). Millions of tiny hair-like cilia line the fimbria and interior of the fallopian tubes. The cilia beat in waves hundreds of times a second catching the egg at ovulation and moving it through the tube to the uterine cavity. Other cells in the tube's inner lining or endothelium nourish the egg and lubricate it's path during its stay inside the fallopian tube. Once inside the fallopian tube, the egg and sperm meet and the egg is fertilized. Ovaries The ovary (for a given side) is located in the lateral wall of the pelvis in a region called the ovarian fossa. The fossa usually lies beneath the external iliac artery and in front of the ureter and the internal iliac artery. The ovaries are not attached to the fallopian tubes but to the outer layer of the uterus via the ovarian ligaments. Usually each ovary takes turns releasing eggs every month; however, if there was a case where one ovary was absent or dysfunctional then the other ovary would continue providing eggs to be released.
