Educational Goals
The primary goal of this instruction should be on preventative hygiene and early recognition of symptoms. Students should know the cause, the signs and symptoms, and the treatment of urinary tract infections, vaginal infections, and testicular torsion. They should also be aware of the effects of activity and the outdoors on the menstrual cycle.
Key Points
• What are the special hygiene considerations for men and women? • What is testicular torsion and how do you treat it? • What are the signs, symptoms, and treatment, for vaginal infections? • How do you prevent vaginal infections? • What are the signs and symptoms of urinary tract infections? • How do you treat urinary tract infections in the field?
Teaching Considerations
There is no substitute for knowledge when it comes to presenting this topic professionally. The personal hygiene component of this class should be taught at the beginning of the course. Specific medical problems can be introduced later. Treat the subject sensitively and in a balanced manner. Emphasize the practicality of this information for leading coed groups.
