Question 1 of 5
A 55-year-old postmenopausal woman reports a history of dyspareunia, backache, pelvis pressure, urinary tract infections, and a frequent urinary urgency. Which condition does the nurse suspect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A cystocele occurs when the bladder bulges into the vaginal canal, which can cause symptoms such as dyspareunia, backache, pelvic pressure, urinary tract infections, and urinary urgency. Fibroids are benign tumors of the uterus and can cause pelvic pain and pressure, but they are not typically associated with urinary symptoms. Ovarian cysts can cause pelvic pain and pressure but are not usually associated with urinary symptoms like urinary urgency. A rectocele occurs when the rectum bulges into the vaginal canal, which can cause symptoms like dyspareunia and pelvic pressure, but it is more likely to cause constipation than urinary urgency.
