Differential Diagnoses
- Uterine Myoma (Fibroids) (D25.9)-Uterine fibroids are the most common benign uterine tumors affecting women in their reproductive years. They are monoclonal tumors of the uterine smooth muscle cells and consist of large amounts of extracellular matrix that contain collagen, fibronectin, and proteoglycan. While the pathogenesis is unclear, there is substantial evidence that estrogens and progestogens proliferate tumor growth. It is thought there is also a relationship between, age and race, early menarche, and caffeine intake and fibroids. Presenting symptoms of fibroids may include abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic pressure, pain and urinary incontinence or retention (Khan, Shehmar, & Gupta, 2014).
Dysmenorrhea (N94.6)-Dysmenorrhea is defined as painful cramps that occur with menstruation. It is the most common gynecological problem in women of all ages and races and one of the most common causes of pelvic pain. Dysmenorrhea is considered primary in the absence of underlying pathology and secondary with results from specific pelvic pathology. It is caused by elevated prostaglandin production through indirect hormonal control, causing hyper contractility and increased uterine muscle tone with vasoconstriction. Presenting symptoms may include menorrhagia, intermenstrual bleeding, dyspareunia, post-coital bleeding and infertility (Osayande & Mehulic, 2014).
Endometriosis (N80.9)-Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial glandular and/or stromal cells outside of the uterine cavity. The most widely accepted theory of endometriosis etiology is that refluxed menstrual tissue enters the pelvic peritoneal cavity and embeds into other intra-abdominal areas. Endometriosis often occurs in women with outflow obstruction, such as cervical stenosis, a transverse vaginal septum, and an imperforate hymen. Early menarche and late menopause, which lead to increased exposure to menstruation, are commonly cited risk factors for endometriosis. Presenting symptoms are highly variable, ranging from debilitating pelvic pain and infertility to no symptoms (Schrager, Fallerone, & Edgoose, 2013).

The word count is from the first word of the introductory paragraph to the last word of the conclusion paragraph. FYI.
REFERENCE REQUIREMENTS
1- There should be a cited reference for each section of a paper as there are conclusion statements in each section (to meet the grading criteria) so the conclusion should be supported by a reference as the assignments are evidence-based research, clinical papers.

The word count must be within the minimum and maximum word limit stated in the assignment instructions. A 10% – point reduction will be made in the total points for the assignment.
