FIGURE 1.23. Vasculature of breast. A. The mammary gland is supplied from its medial aspect mainly by perforating

branches of the internal thoracic artery and by several branches of the axillary artery (principally the lateral thoracic artery)

superiorly and laterally. B. The breast is supplied deeply by branches arising from the intercostal arteries. C. Venous drainage
B. The red arrows indicate lymph flow from the right breast.
Most lymph, especially superior lateral quadrant & center of the breast, drains to the axillary
lymph nodes  subclavian lymphatic trunk  right side  enters the venous system via the
right lymphatic duct.
C. Most lymph from the left breast returns to the venous system via the thoracic duct.

Pelvis
• It is made up of 4 bones
• The functions of the pelvis
are:
– It contains the pelvic
viscera (urinary bladder
and rectum in both sexes
and uterus in female) and
protects them.
– Supports the weight of
the body
– During walking pelvis
swings from side to side
by rotatory movements at
the lumbosacral
articulation.
– It provides attachments
for muscles.
– In the female, it provides
bony support for the
birth canal.
Obstetric Pelvis (True Pelvis)
• The pelvis is divided into:
– false or greater pelvis above
– true or lesser pelvis below
• The plane of division is pelvic inlet formed by the sacral promontory + linea
terminalis
– linea terminalis: continuous line from arcuate line of the ilium, the iliopectineal
line (pecten), and the pubic crest.

https://www.studyblue.com/notes/note/n/femur-pelvic-girdle/deck/16390608
The true pelvis presents the pelvic inlet, pelvic outlet, and
pelvic cavity.
Boundaries of Pelvic Inlet:
1. Promontory + anterior margin of alae sacrum
(anterior)
2. Arcuate + pectineal lines (Lateral)
3. Upper margin pubic symphysis + pubic crest (in fron)
Boundaries of Pelvic Outlet
4. Anterior: lower margin pubic symphysis
5. Anterolateral: conjoint ischiopubic ramus
6. Lateral: Ischial tuberosity
7. Posterolateral: Sacrotuberous ligaments
8. Posterios: tip of coccyx
Boundaries of pelvic cavity
9. Anterior: Pelvic surface of bodies of pubic bone,
rami, symphisis
10. Posterior: pelvic surface of sacrum & coccyx
11. Lateral: Pelvic surface of ilium ischium below arcuate
line
Obstretical Pelvic Measurment

PELVIC
DIAMETERS
Adaptation of the fetal head in the pelvis during parturition:
• During the process of parturition, the baby’s head adapts
itself to the dimensions of the pelvic cavity in order to
pass through it smoothly.
• Therefore, during fixation of the head of fetus, the occiput
of the head faces toward right/left,
– i.e., anteroposterior diameter of the head lies transversely at
the inlet (13 cm in diameter).
• Then the head rotates about 90° so that the occiput of the
head usually faces anteriorly,
– i.e., anteroposterior diameter of the head lies anteroposteriorly
at the pelvic outlet (13 cm in diameter).
Assessment of adequacy of the pelvis during
obstetrical examination:
– Transverse diameter of the pelvic outlet:
• Measuring distance between the ischial tuberosities
along a plane passing across the anus.
– Anteroposterior diameter of the pelvic outlet:
• measured from the pubis to the sacroiliac joint.
– Diagonal conjugate (most important) is assessed
by per vaginal examination.
• Size of the subpubic arch.
• In normal gynecoid pelvis, examiner’s
knuckles (with fist clenched) should be
comfortably accommodated between
the ischial tuberosities below the pubic
symphysis (Fig. 13.14).

LO 2
Menstrual Cycle
• Feature: periodic vaginal bleeding that occurs
with shedding of the uterine mucosa
(menstruation).
• The length of the cycle is variable, average
figure is 28 days from the start of 1 menstrual
period to the start of the next.
Ovarian Cycle
• From the time of birth, there are many primordial follicles under
the ovarian capsule. Each contains an immature ovum
• At the start of each cycle: several of these follicles enlarge and a
cavity forms around the ovum (antrum formation) filled with
follicular fluid.
• In humans, 1 of the follicles in 1 ovary starts to grow rapidly on
about the sixth day and becomes the dominant follicle.
– The others regress, forming atretic follicles.
• It is not known how 1 follicle is singled out for development
during this follicular phase of the menstrual cycle
– seems to be related to the ability of the follicle to secrete the estrogen
inside it that is needed for final maturation.
• The structure of a mature ovarian follicle (graafian
follicle)
• The cells of the theca interna of the follicle are the
primary source of circulating estrogens.
• The follicular fluid has a high estrogen content, and much
of this estrogen comes from the granulosa cells.
• ~14th day of the cycle distended follicle ruptures, 
ovum is extruded into the abdominal cavity. This is the
process of ovulation.
• The ovum is picked up by the fimbriated ends of the
uterine tubes (oviducts)  transported to the uterus.
• Unless fertilization occurs, the ovum degenerates or is
passed on through the uterus and out the vagina.
• The follicle that ruptures at the time of ovulation promptly fills with blood,
forming what is sometimes called a corpus hemorrhagicum.
– Minor bleeding from the follicle into the abdominal cavity may cause peritoneal
irritation and fleeting lower abdominal pain ("mittelschmerz").
• The granulosa and theca cells of the follicle lining promptly begin to
proliferate  the clotted blood is rapidly replaced with yellowish, lipid-rich
luteal cells  corpus luteum.
• Luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, during which the luteal cells secrete
estrogens and progesterone.
– Growth of the corpus luteum depends on its developing an adequate blood supply,
and there is evidence that vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is essential for
this process.
• If pregnancy occurs, the corpus luteum persists, and there are usually no
more menstrual periods until after delivery.
• If there is no pregnancy, the corpus luteum begins to degenerate about 4
days before the next menses (day 24 of the cycle) and is eventually replaced
by fibrous tissue, forming a corpus albicans.
Uterine Cycle
• The events that occur in the uterus during the menstrual cycle terminate in the
menstrual flow.
• By the end of each menstrual period, all but the deep layer of the endometrium
has sloughed.
• Under the influence of estrogens from the developing follicles, the endometrium
regenerates from the deep layer and increases rapidly in thickness during the
period from the fifth to 16th days of the menstrual cycle.
• As the thickness increases, the uterine glands are drawn out so that they lengthen,
but they do not become convoluted or secrete to any degree.
• These endometrial changes are called proliferative, and this part of the menstrual
cycle is sometimes called the proliferative phase. It is also called the preovulatory
or follicular phase of the cycle.
• After ovulation, the endometrium becomes more highly vascularized and slightly
edematous under the influence of estrogen and progesterone from the corpus
luteum.
• The glands become coiled and tortuous, and they begin to secrete a clear fluid.
• Consequently, this phase of the cycle is called the secretory or luteal phase.
• Late in the luteal phase, the endometrium, produces prolactin, but the function of
this endometrial prolactin is unknown.
• Vasospasm occurs and probably is produced by locally released
prostaglandins.
• There are large quantities of prostaglandins in the secretory endometrium
and in menstrual blood, and infusions of prostaglandin F2a (PGF2a) produce
endometrial necrosis and bleeding.
• The proliferative phase of the menstrual cycle represents the restoration
of epithelium from the preceding menstruation
• the secretory phase represents the preparation of the uterus for
implantation of the fertilized ovum.
• The length of the secretory phase is remarkably constant, at about 14
days, and the variations seen in the length of the menstrual cycle are
mostly due to variations in the length of the proliferative phase.
• When fertilization fails to occur during the secretory phase, the
endometrium is shed, and a new cycle starts.
• The endometrium is supplied by 2 types of arteries.
– Superficial 2/3 of the endometrium that is shed during
menstruation, the stratum functionale, is supplied by long,
coiled spiral arteries
– the deep layer, the stratum basale, which is not shed, is supplied
by short, straight basilar arteries.
• When the corpus luteum regresses, hormonal support for
the endometrium is withdrawn.
– The endometrium becomes thinner, which adds to the coiling of
the spiral arteries.
– Foci of necrosis appear in the endometrium, and these coalesce.
• There is, in addition, necrosis of the walls of the spiral
arteries  spotty hemorrhages that become confluent 
produce the menstrual flow.
Normal Menstruation
• Menstrual blood is predominantly arterial, only 25% of the blood being of
venous origin.
• It contains tissue debris, prostaglandins, and relatively large amounts of
fibrinolysin from the endometrial tissue.
• The fibrinolysin lyses clots, so menstrual blood does not normally contain
clots unless the flow is excessive.
• The usual duration of the menstrual cycle: 3–5 days
– but flows as short as 1 day and as long as 8 days can occur in normal women.
• The average amount of blood lost is 30 mL
– range from slight spotting to 80 mL.
– Loss of more than 80 mL is abnormal.
• Amount of flow can be affected by various factors, including:
– thickness of the endometrium
– medications and diseases that affect the clotting mechanism.
• After menstruation, the endometrium regenerates from the stratum
basale.
Reproductive Hormones in Pregnancy
2 phases of hormonal secretion during pregnancy:
1. Corpus luteum phase – secretes hormones to maintain
endometrium & dev.placenta
– Progesterone & estrogen ~10 days following ovulation  regresses
 dramatic fall in progesterone  degeneration  menstruation
– Blastocyst must prevent next menses by maintaining corpus luteum
& steroid secretion
– After implantation (~6th day)  syncytiotrophoblast secretes hCG
(~to LH)  acts on corpus luteum to prevent regression 
progesterone continues to rise  functional endometrium
maintained
– Corpus luteum: Progesterone + estrogen for 1st 6 wks of dev
2. Placental phase – placenta takes over hormonal secretion
(to allow maternal adaptation to pregnancy, birth,
lactation)
– Placenta secretes:
• hCG
• Progesteron & estrogen
• hPL (humal placental lactogen)
• Relaxin
• Other: GnRH, placental CRH, placental TRH, ACTH, inhibin, GH
– By 6th wk  placenta as main source of progesterone &
estrogen  help mother adapt
– hPL regulate nutrient level & metabolism & causes glandular
tissue of breast to develop
– Relaxin secreted towards end of pregnancy to prepare for birth

Histologi sistem Reproduksi
(Uterus, placenta, mammae)
LO 3
Mammary Glands
• Mammary glands: highly modified apocrine
sweat glands persists on each side of the
chest.
• Each mammary gland consists of 15-25 lobes
of the compound tubuloalveolar type
– function is to secrete nutritive milk for
newborns.
• Each lobe, separated from the others by
dense connective tissue with much adipose
tissue, is a separate gland with its own
excretory lactiferous duct
– each 2-4.5 cm long
– emerge independently in the nipple w/ 15
to 25 pore-like openings, each about 0.5
mm in diameter.
– histologic structure of the mammary
glands varies according to sex, age, and
physiologic status.

and plasma cells; larger lumens may show milk
(arrow).
Breast dev during puberty
• Before puberty: mammary gl composed only of
lactiferous sinuses near the nipple
– very small, branching ducts emerging from these sinuses.
– In girls puberty, estrogens cause the breasts to grow:
adipocyte accumulation + elongation of the duct system.
• non-pregnant adult women each mammary gland
lobe consists of many lobules/terminal duct lobular
units (TDLU).
– Each lobule has several small, branching ducts, but the
attached secretory units are small and rudimentary
• Lactiferous sinuses: stratified cuboidal epithelium
• Lactiferous ducts & terminal ducts: simple cuboidal epithelium
covered by closely packed myoepithelial cells.
• Sparse fibers of smooth muscle also encircle the larger ducts.
• Duct system is embedded in loose, vascular connective tissue, and a
denser, less cellular connective tissue separates the lobes.
• Pre-menstrual phase of the reproductive cycle: connective tissue of
the breast edematous, breasts slightly larger.
• Areola/skin covering the nipple: thin skin with sebaceous glands +
abundant sensory nerves
– continuous with the mucosa of the lactiferous sinuses
• Areola contains more melanin and darkens further during
pregnancy.
• Connective tissue of the nipple: rich in smooth muscle fibers, run
parallel to the lactiferous sinuses  nipple erection when they
contract.
Breast during Pregnancy & Lactation
• Growth during pregnancy as a result of the synergistic action
of mainly estrogen, progesterone, prolactin, and the placental
lactogen  cell proliferation in secretory alveoli at the ends
of the intralobular ducts (Figures 22–25 and 22–26).
• Spherical alveoli: cuboidal epithelium + stellate myoepithelial
cells b/w secretory cells and the basal lamina.
• Stroma becomes less prominent (Figures 22–26 and 22–27).
• Loose connective tissue within lobules is in infiltrated by
lymphocytes and plasma cells  latter becoming more
numerous late in pregnancy.
• Late in pregnancy: glandular alveoli and ducts
are dilated by accumulation of colostrum
(fluid rich in proteins + leukocytes); produced
under the influence of prolactin.
– Immunoglobulin A (IgA) antibodies are
synthesized abundantly by plasma cells and
transferred into colostrum, from which passive
acquired immunity is conferred on the breastfed
newborn.
• Following parturition, the alveoli of mammary glands start
lactation, stimulated by prolactin
• Epithelial cells of the alveoli enlarge and activate various
processes involved in lactation:
– Protein are synthesized packaged to secretory vesicle 
merocrine secretion into the lumen (Figure 22–28).
– Lipid droplets form initially from short-chain fatty acids
synthesized in the epithelial cells + longer fatty acids and
cholesterol from the diet or fat stores  undergo apocrine
secretion, droplets become enveloped with a portion of
the apical cell membrane (see Figure 22–28)
– Lactose, major carbohydrate and energy source in milk, is
synthesized in the Golgi apparatus and secreted with
lactalbumin.
Postlactational Regression in the Mammary
Glands
• Breast-feeding is stopped (weaning):
– most alveoli that developed during pregnancy and lactation
degenerate.
– Epithelial cells undergo apoptosis, autophagy, or sloughing
(Figure 22–29) + dead cells and debris removed by macrophages.
– duct system of the gland returns to its general appearance in the
inactive state (Figure 22–25).
• After menopause:
– alveoli and ducts of the mammary glands are reduced further in
size
– loss of fibroblasts, collagen, and elastic fibers in the stroma.
Uterine Tube
• Wall of the oviduct:
– folded mucosa
– thick, well-defined muscularis with interwoven circular (or spiral)
+ longitudinal layers of smooth muscle (Figure 22–15a)
– Thin serosa covered by visceral peritoneum with mesothelium.
• Numerous branching, longitudinal folds most prominent in
the ampulla
– cross section resembles a labyrinth (Figure 22–14b).
• Mucosal folds become smaller in the regions closer to the
uterus
• Absent in the intramural portion of the tube.
• Mucosa is lined by simple columnar epithelium
on a lamina propria of loose connective tissue
(Figure 22–15b).
• Epithelium contains two interspersed,
functionally important cell types:
1. Ciliated cells in which ciliary movements
sweep fluid toward the uterus,
2. Secretory peg cells, nonciliated, darker
staining, apical bulge into the lumen, secrete
glycoproteins of a nutritive mucus film covers
the epithelium.
• Trigger (estrogens)  cilia elongate  both cells
hypertrophy (follicular growth phase of the ovarian cycle)
 atrophy; loss of cilia (late luteal phase)
• Ovulation  mucosal hypertrophy & increased local blood
flow have enlarged & moved the uterine tubes.
– Fringed infundibulum lies close to the ovary; fimbriae partially
surround that organ: transport of the ovulated secondary oocyte
 tube.
• Promoted by sweeping muscular contractions of the
fimbriae and ciliary activity  oocyte  infundibulum 
ampulla
• Secretion covering the mucosa: nutritive + protective
functions for oocyte and the sperm, including capacitation
factors that activate sperm; cells able to fertilize an oocyte.

Uterus
• Uterine wall has three major layers
1. An outer connective tissue layer, the perimetrium, continuous
with the ligaments, which is adventitial in some areas, but largely
a serosa covered by mesothelium
2. A thick tunic of highly vascularized smooth muscle, the
myometrium
3. A mucosa, the endometrium, lined by simple columnar
epithelium.
Three layers are continuous with their counterparts in the uterine
tubes.
Thickness & structure is influenced cyclically by the shifting levels of
ovarian hormones even more than the mucosa of the uterine tubes
Myometrium
• Thickest tunic of the uterus
• Bundles of smooth muscle fibers separated by connective tissue containing
venous plexuses and lymphatics
– Smooth muscle forms interwoven layers
• During pregnancy:
– Myometrium extensive growth: hyperplasia & hypertrophy
– increased collagen production by the muscle cells,
• strengthens the uterine wall.
– Well-developed uterine myometrium contracts very forcefully during parturition to
expel the infant from the uterus.
• After pregnancy:
– uterine smooth muscle cells shrink; many undergo apoptosis
– Removal of unneeded collagen
– uterus returns almost to its prepregnancy size.
Endometrium

• Lamina propria/stroma of the endometrium:


– Nonbundled type III collagen fibers
– abundant fibroblasts and ground substance.
– Simple columnar epithelial lining + ciliated and secretory cells
– latter line the numerous tubular uterine glandspenetrate the full
thickness of the endometrium
• Endometrium, 2 concentric zones:
– basal layer adjacent to the myometrium:
• highly cellular lamina propria
• contains the deep basal ends of the uterine glands
• remains relatively unchanged
– superficial functional layer:
• spongier lamina propria
• richer in ground substance, and includes most of the length of the glands, as well
as the surface epithelium
• Undergoes profound changes during the menstrual cycles
BV supplying the endometrium have
special significance in the periodic
sloughing of the functional layer during
menses
• Arcuate arteries in the middle layers of
the myometrium send two sets of
smaller arteries into the endometrium
– straight arteries: supply only the
basal layer
– long, progesterone-sensitive spiral
arteries: extend farther & bring
blood throughout the functional
layer.
• Spiral arteries branch with
numerous arterioles supplying
a rich, superficial capillary bed:
many dilated, thin-walled
vascular lacunae drained by
venules.

Menstrual Cycle
PROLIFERATIVE PHASE
• Cells in the basal ends of glands proliferate, migrate  form the new
epithelial covering over the surface exposed during menstruation.
• Endometrial lining: simple columnar surface epithelium
• Uterine glands: straight tubules with narrow, nearly empty lumens
• Mitotic figures can be found among both the epithelial cells and
fibroblasts.
• Spiral arteries lengthen as the functional layer is reestablished and
grows and extensive microvasculature forms near the surface of the
functional layer.
• At the end of the proliferative phase, the endometrium is 2 to 3 mm
thick.
SECRETORY PHASE
• Progesterone stimulates epithelial cells of the
uterine glands that formed during the
proliferative phase  secrete and accumulate
glycogen  dilating the glandular lumens 
causing the glands to become coiled
• Superficial microvasculature: thin-walled,
blood-filled lacunae
• Endometrium reaches its maximum thickness
(5 mm) during the secretory phase as a result
of the accumulation of secretions and edema
in the stroma.
MENSTRUAL PHASE
drop in progesterone produces:
1. Spasms of muscle contraction in the small spiral arteries of
the functional layer, interrupting normal blood flow
2. Increased synthesis by arterial cells of prostaglandins 
produce strong vasoconstriction and local hypoxia  Cells
hypoxic  release cytokines  increase vascular
permeability & immigration of leukocytes  leukocytes
release collagenase and several other matrix
metalloproteinases (MMPs)  degrade basement
membranes and other ECM components
• At the end of the menstrual phase, the endometrium is
usually reduced to a thin layer and is ready to begin a new
cycle as its cells begin dividing to reconstitute the mucosa.
Proliferative phase (a, d)
functional layer is still relatively
thin,
the stroma is more cellular
the glands (G) are relatively
straight, narrow, and empty.

Secretory phase (b, e)


functional layer is less heavily cellular and
perhaps four times thicker than the basal
layer.
Tubular glands have wider lumens
containing secretory product and coil
tightly up through the stroma, giving a
zigzag or folded appearance histologically.
Superficially in the functional layer,
lacunae (La) are widespread and filled
with blood.
Short premenstrual phase
(c, f)
begins with constriction of
the spiral arteries, which
produces hypoxia that
causes swelling and
dissolution of the glands
(G).
The stroma of the
peripheral functionalis is
more compact and that

Embryonic Implantation, Decidua, Placenta

• Zygote produced by fertilization  mitotic


cleavages as it is moved toward the uterus
(blastomeres)  compact aggregate called
the morula
– No growth occurs during the period of cell
cleavage, with blastomeres becoming smaller at
each division
– morula is about the same size as the oocyte at
fertilization.
IMPLANTATION
• Embryo enters the uterus as a
blastocyst about 5 days after
ovulation or fertilization, when the
uterus is in the secretory phase and
best prepared for implantation.
• To begin implantation, receptors on
cells of the outer embryonic
trophoblast bind glycoprotein ligands
on the endometrial epithelium.
• The trophoblast forms an invasive,
outer syncytial layer called the
syncytiotrophoblast.
• Proteases are activated and/or
released locally to digest stroma
components, which allows the
developing embryo to embed itself
within the stroma.
• The newly implanted embryo absorbs
nutrients and oxygen from the
endometrial tissue and blood in the
lacunae.
• Endometrial stroma undergoes histologic changes in
the period following implantation.
– Fibroblasts enlarged, polygonal, active in protein synthesis
= decidual cells.
– Whole endometrium is now called the decidua
– Includes 3 areas (Figure 22–21):
• decidua basalis between the implanted embryo and the
myometrium;
• decidua capsularis, the region between the embryo and the
uterine lumen which thins as the embryo gets larger;
• decidua parietalis, on the side of the uterus away from the
embryo
PLACENTA:
site of exchange for nutrients, wastes, O2, and CO2 between the mother and
the fetus and contains tissues from both individuals.
• embryonic part: chorion, derived from the trophoblast
• maternal part: from the decidua basalis.
• Exchange occurs between embryonic blood in chorionic villi
outside the embryo and maternal blood in lacunae of the decidua
basalis.
• Chorionic villi of the developing placenta go through three stages:
– Primary villi: 2 days after implantation
• simple cords of proliferating cytotrophoblast cells
• covered by syncytiotrophoblast extend into lacunae containing maternal blood.
– Secondary villi ~15th day of embryonic development as the primary villi
are invaded by extraembryonic mesenchyme.
– Tertiary villi few more days as mesenchyme in the secondary villi
differentiates  form capillary loops continuous with the embryonic
circulatory system.
• By the end of the 1st month of the pregnancy,
the placenta contains thousands of tertiary
chorionic villi, each branching many times and
each branch having one or more capillary loops
• Suspended in pools of maternal blood in the
decidua, the chorionic villi provide an enormous
surface area for metabolite exchange
– diffusion occurring across the trophoblast layer and
the capillary endothelium.
• Placenta = endocrine organ, producing HCG, a
lactogen, relaxin, and various growth factors, in
addition to estrogen and progesterone.

Diagnosa Kehamilan Normal

Manifestations of pregnancy classified into three groups:


presumptive, probable, and positive.
1. PRESUMPTIVE MANIFESTATION
Symptoms:
• Ammenorhea: cessation of menses due to increase of
estro/progesterone by corpus luteum
– Delayed menses: emotional tension, chronic disease, opioid, dopaminergic meds,
endocrine disorders, genitourinary tumors
• Nausea & Vomiting: 50% pregnancy, most marked in 2-12 wks
gestation; severe in morning; precipitated by odors & pungent
smell
– Extreme: sign of multiple gestation/molar pregnancy (hyperemis gravidarum:
dehydration + ketonuria)  hospitalizaiton + relieve w/ antiemetic
• Breast:
– Mastodynia/tenderness: due to increased hormonal response of ducts
& alveolar system. Circulatory increases  engorgement & venous
prominence
• Similar tenderness experienced just before menses
– Enlargement of circumlacteal sebaceous gl of areola (Montgomery’s
tubercles)
• At 6-8 wks gestation: hormone stimulation
– Secondary breasts: prominent size & coloration along nipple line,
hypertrophy of axillary breast tissue  lump in axilla
– Colostrum secretion: begin after 16 wks gestation
• Quickening: 1st perception of fetal movement at 18-20 wks in primips, 14-
16 wks multips
– Mistaken w/ intestinal peristalsis
• Urinary tract: bladder irritability, freq nocturia,  increase bladder
circulation & pressure from enlarged uterus
– Mistaken UTI
Signs:
• Increased basal body temperature
• Skin:
– Cholasma: darkening skin over forehead, bridge of nose,
cheekbones (>16 wks gestation, precipitated by sunlight
exposures)
– Linea nigra: darkening of nipples and lower midline abdomen
from umbilicus  pubis (darkened linea alba)
• Increased MSH
– Stretchmarks/striae in breast, abd, thigh: separation of
collagen tissue  irregular scars due to greater tension
• Multips: + silvery due to cicratics of prev striae
– Spider telangiectasia/angioma, palmar erythema
• Could be in pts w/ liver failure

Factors Affecting Labor
• These are easily remembered as the 5 P's:
– passenger (fetus and placenta),
– passageway (birth canal),
– powers (contractions),
– Position of mother
– psychologic response.

Passenger (fetus)
• The way the passenger moves through the birth canal is
determined by several interacting factors:
– the size of the fetal head,
– fetal presentation,
– fetal lie,
– fetal attitude,
– fetal position.
Because the placenta must also pass through the birth canal, it
can be considered a passenger along with the fetus.
However, the placenta rarely impedes the process of labor in
normal vaginal birth, except in cases of placenta previa.

Position of Fetus
• Important to determine position of fetus before onset of labor 
potential problems can be identified + preparations made
• Position assessed through palpation + US scan
• 3 aspect of fetal position:
1. Fetal lie: orientation of baby’s long axis: orientation of the back
– Longitudinal: normal (back lying along uterus)
– Oblique (back at an angle across uterus)
– Transverse (back lies across uterus)
2. Fetal presentation: part of fetus nearest the cervix: most likely to come
out first, 3 main presentation:
– Cepahlic: head first (N) – 4 variations
– Breech: bottom or feet first
– Shoulder: transverse lie associated
3. Fetal position: direction that the denominator (foremost part of head) is
facing compared w/ pelvis
– L/R/straight (faces symphysis or sacrum directly)
– Anterior(facing pubic bone)/Transverse (across pelvis)/posterior (facing sacrum)
These 2 section combined: e.g: Left occipitoanterior (LOA)

Fetal Attitude
• Attitude: relationship of the fetal body parts to each other.
• The fetus assumes a characteristic posture (attitude) in utero partly because
of the mode of fetal growth and partly because of the way the fetus conforms
to the shape of the uterine cavity.
• Normally, the back of the fetus is rounded so that the chin is flexed on the
chest, the thighs are flexed on the abdomen, and the legs are flexed at the
knees.
• The arms are crossed over the thorax, and the umbilical cord lies between
the arms and the legs.
• This attitude is termed general flexion (see Fig. 2).
• Deviations from the normal attitude may cause difficulties in childbirth.
– For example, in a cephalic presentation, the fetal head may be extended or flexed in a
manner that presents a head diameter that exceeds the limits of the maternal pelvis,
leading to prolonged labor, forceps- or vacuum-assisted birth, or cesarean birth.

http://intranet.tdmu.edu.ua/data/kafedra/internal/ginecology2/classes_stud/en/nurse/adn/ptn/2/Nursing%20Care%20of%20Childbearing
Station
• Relationship of the presenting part of the fetus to an imaginary line drawn
between the maternal ischial spines and is a measure of the degree of
descent of the presenting part of the fetus through the birth canal.
• The placement of the presenting part is measured in centimeters above or
below the ischial spines
– For example, when the lowermost portion of the presenting part is 1 cm above the
spines, it is noted as being minus (—) 1.
– At the level of the spines, the station is referred to as 0 (zero).
– When the presenting part is 1 cm below the spines, the station is said to be plus (+) 1.
• Birth is about to happen when the presenting part is at +4 to +5 cm.
• The station of the presenting part should be determined when labor
begins so that the rate of descent of the fetus during labor can be
accurately determined.

Engagement
• Indicate that the largest transverse diameter of the
presenting part (usually the biparietal diameter) has
passed through the maternal pelvic brim or inlet into
the true pelvis and usually corresponds to station 0.
• Engagement often occurs in the weeks just before
labor begins in primigravidas and may occur before
labor or during labor in multigravidas.
• Engagement can be determined by abdominal or
vaginal examination.

Passageway
• The passageway, or birth canal, is composed o:
– the mother's rigid bony pelvis
– soft tissues of the cervix, pelvic floor, vagina, and introitus (the
external opening to the vagina).
• Although the soft tissues, particularly the muscular layers
of the pelvic floor, contribute to vaginal birth of the fetus,
the maternal pelvis plays a far greater role in the labor
process because the fetus must successfully accommodate
itself to this relatively rigid passageway.
• Therefore the size and shape of the pelvis must be
determined before childbirth begins.

LO 6
Inverted Nipple
• Inverted nipple: non-projectile nipple
• The nipple is located on a plane lower than the areola.
• The nipple is invaginated and instead of pointing outward, is retracted into
the breast parenchymal and stromal tissue.
• The terms retraction and inversion often are used interchangeably, but such
usage is inexact.
– Retraction: only a slit shape area is pulled inward, whereas
– Inversion: entire nipple is pulled inward occasionally, far enough to lie below the
surface of the breast
• Inverted nipple may be seen in different forms and structures related to:
– the severity of fibrosis, lack of soft tissue bulk, and lactiferous ductus.
• In some cases, the nipple may be temporarily protruded if stimulated, but in
others, the inversion remains regardless of stimulus.

Classification, grading, pathologic basis of deformity
Nipple inversion can be either acquired or congenital.
• Acquired inverted nipple: Nipple inversion secondary to the previous breast
surgery, infiltrating ductal carcinoma, and mastitis are examples of the acquired
types.
• Congenital inverted nipple: Congenital inverted nipple is the most frequent type.
The prevalance is reported as 2-10% (Lee et al., 2003; Alaxander & Campbell
1997).
Congenital inverted nipple is clinically classified into 3 groups:

Mastitis
• Inflammation of parenchyma of
breast
• Infectious: bacteria, fungi,
parasites
• Non-infectious: plasma cell
mastitis, granulomatous mastitis,
lymphocytic mastitis Pathophysiology: bacteria gain access to the
breast tissue through:
– Nonpyogenic & non-infx the ducts;
mastitis: more subtle when there is inspissation of secretions;
presentation (pain or lump; or through fissures in the nipples, which
incidental finding on screening usually develop during the early weeks of
nursing;
mammography)

• Breast infection is now much less common than it used to
be.
• It is seen occasionally in neonates; most commonly affects
women aged between 18 and 50 divided into: lactational
& non lactational infection.
– Infection can affect the skin overlying the breast:
• primary event
• secondary either to a lesion in the skin: sebaceous cyst, or to an
underlying skin condition, such as hidradenitis suppurativa.
• If an abscess develops, a small incision placed as
peripherally as possible to avoid damaging the breast bud
leads to rapid resolution.

J M Dixon ABC of breast diseases


Lactating Infection
• Better maternal & infant hygiene + early treatment antibiotics = reduced
the incidence of abscess formation during lactation.
• Infection is more frequent following a first child
– Commonly seen within the first six weeks of breastfeeding,
• Lactating infection presents with:
– Pain, swelling and tenderness.
– There is usually a history of a cracked nipple or skin abrasion
– S aureus is the most common organism responsible, but S epidermidis and
streptococci are occasionally isolated.
– Drainage of milk from the affected area is reduced.
• Promotion of milk drainage + early antibiotic therapy are the
cornerstones of treatment.
• Tetracycline, ciprofloxacin and chloramphenicol should not be used to
treat lactating breast infection as they may enter breast milk and can harm
the baby.
• The pain of lactation mastitis is helped by the application of gel packs

• If infection does not settle after one course of antibiotics, no
pus is detected on ultrasonography, clinical and imaging
assessments indicate that the lesion is infective or
inflammatory = antibiotic should be changed to cover other
possible pathogens, including MRSA.
• If inflammation or an associated mass lesion persists, further
investigation is required to exclude an underlying
inflammatory carcinoma

Treatment of Periareolar inflammatory
• Course antibiotics that includes anaerobic cover + investigated
by ultrasonography;
– any abscess should be managed by aspiration or incision and drainage
• If the skin overlying the abscess is necrotic then the dead skin
should be excised
– If the mass is solid on ultrasonography or inflammation does not
resolve after appropriate treatment, care should be taken to exclude
an underlying neoplasm
• Abscesses associated with periductal mastitis recur commonly
because treatment by aspiration or incision does not remove
the underlying diseased duct and most patients continue to
smoke.
• Recurrent episodes of periareolar sepsis should be treated by
excision of diseased ducts under antibiotic cover by an
experienced breast surgeon.

non-puerperal peripheral infection:
• less commonly seen.
• Seen in older women with underlying chronic
medical conditions:
– diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis;
– women taking steroids or underwent a recent
breast intervention
Complication of periareolar inflammation
Mammary duct fistula
• A mammary duct fistula is a communication between the skin,
usually in the periareolar region, and a major subareolar breast
duct (Figure 4.13).
• A fistula can develop after incision and drainage of a non-lactating
abscess, it can follow spontaneous discharge of a periareolar
inflammatory mass, or it can result from biopsy of a periductal
inflammatory mass.
Treatment:
• Opening the fistula (fistulotomy) or excising of the fistula
(fistulectomy) and diseased duct or ducts under antibiotic cover.
– The best results are from fistula excision rather than fistulotomy
(Figure 4.15).
– Recurrence is common after surgery.
– The lowest rates of recurrence and best cosmetic results are
achieved by specialist breast surgeons.

Skin-associated infection

• Primary infection of the skin of the breast, which can present as cellulitis
or an abscess, most commonly affects the skin of the lower half of the
breast
• These infections are often recurrent in women who are overweight, have
large breasts or have poor personal hygiene.
• Cellulitis is more common after surgery or radiotherapy and in people with
skin conditions such as eczema.
• S aureus is the usual causative organism.
• Cellulitis is seen in the neonatal and pubertal periods
Treatment of acute bacterial infection is with antibiotics and drainage or
aspiration of abscesses.
• Women with recurrent infections and areas of intertrigo should be advised
about weight reduction and keeping the area as clean and dry as possible
(this includes careful washing of the area up to twice a day, using a hair
dryer to dry the skin, avoiding skin creams and talcum powder, and
wearing either a cotton bra or a cotton T shirt or vest worn inside the bra)

J M Dixon ABC of breast diseases


• Sebaceous cysts are common in the skin of the breast and
may become infected
• Some recurrent infections in the inframammary fold are due
to hidradenitis suppurativa
• This is another smoking-related condition and most women
with hidradenitis are heavy smokers.
• In this condition, infection should be controlled with
appropriate antibiotics and drainage of any pus (the same
organisms are found in hidradenitis as in non-lactating
infection).
• Patients should be encouraged to stop smoking.
• Excision of the affected skin is effective at stopping further
infection in about half of patients; the remainder go on to
have further episodes of infection despite surgery.

Other infections & Inflammatory conditions
Tuberculosis of the breast is now rare
• It can be primary or, more commonly, secondary.
• Clues to its diagnosis include the presence of a breast or axillary sinus in up to half of
patients.
• The commonest presentation of tuberculosis nowadays is with an abscess resulting
from infection of a tuberculous cavity by an acute pyogenic organism such as S
aureus.
• An open biopsy is often required to establish the diagnosis.
Treatment is by a combination of surgery and antituberculous chemotherapy
• Syphilis, actinomycosis and mycotic, helminthic and viral infections occasionally
affect the breast but are rare.
• Infection with Candida albicans has been implicated in causing deep breast pain after
breastfeeding.
– The evidence for this association is extremely weak and does not justify the use of fluconazole
in these women.

Radiographic features of Mastitis
• On mammography:
– ill-defined regions of increased density and
skin thickening.
• US
– ill-defined area of hyperechogenicity =
infiltrated and inflamed fat lobules
– hypoechoic areas in the glandular
parenchyma, and associated mild skin
thickening are seen.
– Inflammatory axillary lymph nodes may also
be encountered.
– Occasionally abscess formation may be visible.
Nipple discharge
• Physiologic discharge
– Nonspontaneous, bilateral, induced from multiple ducts
– Colors: white, yellow, green, brown, bluish-gray-black
– Copious milky (non-assc w/ pregnancy): indicative galactorrhea (secondary to
medications: oral contraceptives, phenothiazines, antihypertensives or pituitary tumor
(prolactinoma))
• Bloody discharge: intraductal papilloma, periductal mastitis, duct ectasia
• Pathologic discharge usually spontaneous & unilateral, arises from single duct.
– Suspicious lesion on mammography  cytology or core biopsy of lesion
• Spontaneous or inducible discharge from a single duct warrants surgery if it has
any of the following char:
– Bloody
– Persistent (2x/wk)
– + mass
– Woman >40

Tumor of Breast
FIBROADENOMA
• Most common benign neoplasm of the female
breast.
• Increase in estrogen activity is thought to
contribute to its development
• Similar lesions may appear with fibrocystic
changes (fibroadenomatoid changes).
• Fibroadenomas usually appear in young women;
the peak incidence is in the third decade of life
• Clinically: solitary, discrete, movable masses.
– may enlarge late in the menstrual cycle and during
pregnancy.
– After menopause they may regress and calcify.
• Cytogenetic studies reveal that the stromal
cells are monoclonal = represent the
neoplastic element of these tumors.
• Perhaps the neoplastic stromal cells secrete
growth factors that induce proliferation of
epithelial cells.
– Fibroadenomas almost never become malignant.
Morphology Histologically
• The fibroadenoma occurs as a • loose fibroblastic stroma

diameter. • These ductlike or glandular

white color on cut section, stroma; cross-section: slits or
punctuated by softer yellow-pink irregular, star-shaped structures

glandular areas
Phyllodes Tumor
• less common than fibroadenomas
• thought to arise from the periductal stroma and not from preexisting
fibroadenomas.
• They may be small (3-4 cm in diameter), but most grow to large, possibly
massive size, distending the breast.
• Some become lobulated and cystic; because on gross section they exhibit
leaflike clefts and slits, they have been designated phyllodes (Greek for
"leaflike") tumors.
• The most ominous change:
– appearance of increased stromal cellularity with anaplasia and high
mitotic activity
– rapid increase in size, usually with invasion of adjacent breast tissue by
malignant stroma.
– Most of these tumors remain localized and are cured by excision;
– malignant lesions may recur, but they also tend to remain localized.
– Only the most malignant, about 15% of cases, metastasize to distant
sites.
Paget disease

• Paget’s disease is an eczematoid change of the


nipple associated with an underlying
malignancy
• Paget’s disease may be localised or occupy a
large area
• Clinically, Paget’s disease always affects the
nipple from the start, whereas eczema affects
the areolar region initially
– only rarely involves nipple skin

Gynecomastia

• The growth of breast tissue in males to any extent in all ages


• Benign and usually reversible.
• It is commonly seen during puberty and old age.
• Occurs in 30–60% of boys aged 10–16 years and usually requires no
treatment, as 80% of cases resolve spontaneously within two years.
• Embarrassment or persistent enlargement is an indication for surgical
referral.
• Senescent gynaecomastia commonly affects men aged between 50 and
80, and in most it does not seem to be associated with any significant
endocrine abnormality.

J M Dixon ABC of breast diseases


• Breast enlargement without pain or tenderness and without an easily
identifiable cause = indication for blood, hormone and biochemical
measurement.
• Mammography and ultrasound: differentiate between breast enlargement
due to fat or gynaecomastia and are valuable if malignancy is suspected.
• drug-related gynaecomastia = withdrawal of the drug or change to an
alternative treatment
• Gynaecomastia is seen in body builders who take anabolic steroids;
– some have learnt that by taking tamoxifen they can combat this.
– Both tamoxifen anddanazol improve symptoms in patients with
gynaecomastia, but recurrence after stopping drugs can be a problem.
– Tamoxifen at a dose of 10 mg is effective and produces fewer side
effects than 20 mg of tamoxifen or danazol, so it is the drug of first
choice.
• Surgery for gynaecomastia is not easy, should follow recognised protocols
and should be performed by experienced breast or plastic surgeons.
