Woman’s and Men’s Health, Infectious Disease and Hematologic Disorders
Health is important for both men and women. It is a state of comprehensive physical, social, and mental well-being and not just the absence of illness or infirmity. Men and women are different. The fundamental observation spreads to their weakness and response to diverse infectious illnesses reasons for the observation being different, counting pathogens, and exposure to the common genetic aspects that control immune responses contrary to the pathogens. Also, hormonal factors that can alter vulnerability or illness progression and reaction to treatment are included. Men and women are prone to hematologic illnesses involving blood and include complications with the red blood cells, platelets, white blood cells, bone marrow, spleen, and lymph nodes. This paper will explore the Woman’s and Man’s health, infectious disease and hematologic disorders concerning the patient presented in the case study.
Patients health needs from a case study
The patient presents with complaints of night sweats, hot flushing, and genitourinary symptoms that require immediate attention. She is 46 years old with a history of hypertension, and upon Blood Pressure (BP) check, it is at 150/90, an elevated blood pressure. The patient’s LMP is a month back and had ASCUS in pap in the last five years, which causes no problem in the late period. It can be concluded that her present symptoms indicate that she is in the perimenopausal period. When the women’s menopausal period begins, it causes a hot flush, depression, night flush, high BP, and changes in the genitourinary (Sturdee et al. 2017). She, therefore, requires to manage her symptoms to prevent more problems.
Treatment Regimen
To treat the patient, I would recommend hormone therapy, Estrogen-progestin therapy. On its own, estrogen improves menopause symptoms but, in another context, raises the risk of uterus cancer (endometrial cancer). Adding a progestin to estrogen will lower endometrial cancer’s danger to normal (Prior et al., 2017). I would also commend vaginal estrogen to avoid genitourinary complications. Vaginal estrogen, meant to deliver estrogen right to the local tissue, remains active in minimizing genitourinary symptoms like vaginal burning and dryness, painful sexual intercourse, urinary urgency and frequency, painful urination, and recurrent UTIs. Reducing the systemic estrogen exposure, even the lowest-dose vaginal ring, successfully can minimize frequency and urinary in postmenopausal females. Besides, I would commend the patient to take a low dose of antidepressants such as SSRIs to decrease symptoms and calm the mood disorder, take gabapentin to reduce night sweats and hot flush she is experiencing, clonidine to treat high blood pressure, and calcium and vitamin D supplements to strengthen her bones (Yoon et al., 2020).
Patient Education
The patient needs to manage her health needs and to help her; I would advise increasing fluid intake. Fluid intake will help flush any irritations through the bladder and out of a individuals’ body. I would also recommend the patient enhance the aerobic activity, stretching activity, and weight-bearing since these exercises reduce the risk of many hematologic disorders. It would also be good to take calcium diets. Calcium is an important mineral for the human body. It helps maintain and form healthy bones preventing disorders such as Osteoporosis (Cano et al., 2018). The patient will be required to increase the fiber intake rate, eat five portions of food, limit salt intake, and avoid tea, alcohol, coffee, and smoking that cause hot flushes. She should also avoid saturated fats and high-calorie diets taking omega 3fatty acids for a healthy heart, and have consistent screening to prevent cervical and breast cancer.
Conclusion
Health is important for both men and women. It is a state of comprehensive physical, social, and mental well-being and not just the absence of illness or infirmity. Men and women are different, and the fundamental observation spreads to their weakness and response to diverse infectious illnesses following diverse reasons. Men and women as well are prone to hematologic illnesses. As revealed in the case study, the patient’s complaints of night sweats, hot flushing, and genitourinary symptoms indicate that she is in the perimenopausal period and requires immediate attention in terms of treatments. Some of the treatments that can be recommended following her condition include hormone therapy, Estrogen-progestin therapy, vaginal estrogen, and a low dose of antidepressants such as SSRIs to decrease symptoms and
