ABSTRACT
Objective: Although these days the priority is to fight the Covid-19 pandemic, the importance of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is not to be neglected. Mechanism: Cervical cancer is caused mainly by a chronic infection with one or more of the high-risk subtypes of HPV -most commonly a sexually transmitted disease acquired early in life. Most HPV infections go away on their own, but some can lead to a precancerous state that, if left untreated, can undergo complete neoplastic transformation. Findings in Brief: There is a hope that in the future the combination of screening tests with vaccinations against oncogenic strains of HPV will allow reductions in the percentage of those contracting cervical cancer. Conclusion(s): The importance of educational activities should be emphasized in developmental gynecology in the context of oncological prevention. The roles of both doctors and nurses are important here. During the Covid-19 Pandemic, these kinds of activities are not to be abandoned. In addition, efforts should be made to develop more practical and workable HPV and cervical screening strategies for use during a pandemic.Copyright © 2022 The Author(s). Published by IMR Press.
ABSTRACT
Early prevention of HPV infections is part of the primary prevention of cervical cancer. Vaccines are available to prevent long-term infection with oncogenic HPV serotypes. Also in the aspect of gynecology of developmental age, it is important that the doctor fulfills his tasks in the entire team of other doctors and the medical service, and the nursing staff is of particular importance in this team and in this field. This significance is expressed not only in providing care according to medical recommendations and performing typical nursing activities, but also in taking actions significant in the promotion of health and disease prevention, in pro-health education and in the context of sexual education not only of patients in developmental age, but also of their parents, caregivers. It is hoped that in the future the combination of screening tests and vaccination of anti-oncogenic HPV strains will reduce the incidence of cervical cancer. These activities are related to the holistic care of girls and women, which is always of particular importance, and during the covid 19 pandemic it has a special dimension.
ABSTRACT
During the COVID-19 pandemic, in the context of holistic care for women, the cooperation of a gynecologist with a family doctor is particularly important. Deterioration of health, including sexual health, is observed, which may have a potentially long-term negative multidimensional impact on the functioning of women, secondary cycle disorders, also dermatological or dermatological problems. In addition, many women face additional burdens during a pandemic, such as supervising their children while studying at home and working remotely at the same time. During a pandemic, the practice of a family doctor and gynecologist is observed in female sexual dysfunction, depressive symptoms and fear. Prolonged blockage greatly increases women's sense of loneliness. It is important for physicians to pay special attention to such problems as family physicians, gynecologists, sexologists and mental health counselors, as well as violent and abusive partnerships. Any action aimed at developing preventive and intervention measures to mitigate any negative effects of a pandemic is important.
ABSTRACT
Medical practice in various medical disciplines, especially in family medicine, in the time of a pandemic, indicates that in medical interviews patients not only talk about the ailments they report, but also report fear of death and passing away. Indeed, a special, individual approach to each patient is recommended, also in these matters, which is also important in the promotion of mental health. There are statements from patients that the more they know in the media about the successive waves of COVID-19 infections, the more often thoughts about death and passing related to fear for the future of themselves, their family and loved ones appear. Some patients even say: "what will happen to this world", what awaits humanity. According to psychologists, it is natural to react to a direct threat to life. It is worth analyzing the issue of the human approach to the phenomenon of passing away in an interdisciplinary context in the context of health sciences, medicine, but also the humanities, such as the history of medicine or the philosophy of medicine, as well as literature and art in general.
ABSTRACT
Health promotion during a pandemic is also one of the special tasks not only in the practice of a family doctor, which also results from changes in the lifestyle of patients. Since the start of coronavirus pandemic working from home, called home-office gained popularity not only amongst big corporations. Unfortunately not all the occupations has an option to do their job related responsibilities at their own personal desk. It would sound difficult to keep self-discipline while being able to watch TV without sudden consequences, but the results show that home workers do very well. The most important thing for the employer, which is productivity, increased in COVID-19 times. It can be caused by lack of disturbing noises and uncomfortable surroundings that could lead to stress. Allowing employees to do their jobs from home reduced the time spent every day on getting ready to work. For example for many people morning commute has become the thing of the past. Another positive aspect of home-office is workers time flexibility. While at home some people can plan their day in their own way. Some jobs in this situation have no arranged daily working hours, the only obligation is to do the task until the deadline. Maybe there are more advantages than disadvantages of working from home, but the negative sites can overcome the positives and have negative health effects. After some time one can get bored with their own four walls, or even feel alone and abandoned, which can lead to lowered well-being. In such a new time everybody should keep the balance between social and job-related life, as well as a proper diet and physical activity, for example through gymnastics at home. Communicating this knowledge to patients is important in both medical, in pharmacy counseling and nursing practice.
ABSTRACT
One of the most important problems in anti-aging medicine, family medicine, gynecology and sexology are disorders of the statics of female genital organs, usually resulting in sexual dysfunction and urogynecological problems. Although in the era of a pandemic, the fight against SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus infections is a priority. COVID-19, and in this context one of the most important problems also related to family medicine are geriatric issues - issues related to aging societies, and the more elderly people there are, the more attention should be paid to them in the context of their health - also in terms of sexual health.
ABSTRACT
A family doctor, as well as a sexologist, gynecologist, in his medical practice encounters problems related to skin diseases significantly affecting the sense of femininity or masculinity. An example of such an issue, especially in gynecology of developmental age, is the problem of skin changes associated with androgenization syndromes. Typical dermatological diseases are sometimes associated with enormous pain, not only physical, but also mental, resulting from the fact that skin disease processes significantly disfigure the body, lower self-esteem and significantly affect the sexual sphere. Selected aspects related to the holistic approach to the issue of pain and suffering, also related to skin lesions, are presented. This issue, like all medical fields, is a source of philosophical reflection. It is inseparable from psychodermatology. The experience of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic, taking into account skin lesions, also prompts a similar search.
