A
.
Overweight (L02.32). The patient is overweight, and it is evident from a BMI of 32.1
IBS (J02.1). The patient is positive for IBS, and it is evident from abdominal pains and changes in bowel movement.
Fibrocystic breast disease (B30.2), the patient is suffering from fibrocystic breast disease. It is a condition where women experience painful lumps in their breasts.
P.
The plan for treatment includes the following. The patient is to undergo an MRI test to check on the changes in the breast (Vanel & McNamara,2018). I will prescribe pain relievers ibuprofen and acetaminophen be taken one tablet thrice a day to relieve any discomfort and pain. The dose will be taken for one week. I advise the patient to wear a supportive and fitting bra to reduce breast tenderness and pain. The patient is advised to reduce the intake of caffeine, eat a low-fat diet, and take supplements of essential fatty acids to reduce fibrocystic breast disease symptoms.
To reduce IBS, I recommend the patient to take magnesium hydroxide and Pepto-Bismol (Brewer & Berriedale-Johnson,2016). Avoid intake of vegetables like Brussels sprouts, cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower, legumes like beans that increase gas. She should also avoid fried or fatty foods as well as caffeine and soda.
The most effective contraception is the vaginal ring or the NuvaRing. It will have effects because it is not affected by body weight. It is because our patient is overweight with a BMI of 32.1. It has 120 mcg etonogestrel and 15 milligrams of EE. It exposes women to fewer estrogen amounts with proper and stable serum amounts. It gives higher levels of hormones in overweight women compared to oral contraception since they are directly absorbed into the vagina mucus and do not undergo liver metabolism.
The patient should avoid eating junk foods and embrace eating home-cooked foods to reduce her weight. Consume small portions of food at intervals. Eat food only when hungry to prevent overeating. Consume foods rich in fiber since fiber gives a feeling of satiety (Cho & Almeida,2019). The patient should be physically active by having physical exercises once per day. Limit consumption of calorie intake that results in overweight.
