Women’s Health and Reproductive Disorders: Nursing Care from Gynecology to Oncology

In this episode, we explore the broad spectrum of women’s reproductive health, from common gynecologic conditions to complex cancers—while also touching on key male reproductive issues such as testicular and prostate cancer. We’ll define and discuss disorders like cystocele and endometriosis, review the causes, symptoms, and treatments for major sexually transmitted infections (STIs)—including chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, and syphilis—and highlight the nurse’s role in prevention and education. The episode also dives into breast health, covering screening tools like mammography and MRI, diagnostic biopsies, and the surgical and medical management of both benign and malignant conditions. Throughout, we’ll emphasize nursing priorities, including pre- and postoperative care, psychosocial support, and effective patient education—empowering nurses to provide compassionate, evidence-based care across all aspects of reproductive and oncologic health.
