ABOG study Flashcards
what are the 3 possible definitions for primary amenorrhea?
No menses by:
1) age 15 w normal 2ndry sexual characteristics
2) within 5 years after breast development if that occurs before age 10
3) by age 13 with no 2ndry sexual characteristics
when doing progestin challenge, within how many days should bleeding occur after completion of progestin course?
2-7 days
note: this has high false positive (40-50%) and false negative (20%) rates
estradiol levels can fluctuate greatly so there’s no specific cutoff but in general greater than what level suggests ovarian follicular activity (for example when working up amenorrhea)
> 40 pg/mL
dont forget, ultrasound eval with endometrial thickness of at least 2 layer stripe also indicates they have sufficient estrogen.
what FSH level strongly indicates hypogonoadotropic hypogonadism?
<5 IU/L
what FSH level strongly indicates ovarian failure? (hypergonadotropic hypogonadism)
> 20IU/L
in workup of amenorrhea, what does a normal FSH and estradiol indicate?
normal hypothalamus and pituitary function. cause of amenorrhea is due to anovulation or anatomic defects (in 2ndry amenorrhea this would be like asherman syndrome)
cessation of menses before what age is considered primary ovarian insufficiency?
40 years old
chromosomal abnormalities will almost always result in POI before age 30. list the two possibilities (hint: not fragile x)
1) x and y chroosome mosaicism (note, if Y chromosome present, gonads should be removed due to risk for malignant transformation)
2) x chromosome structural abnormalities (deletions, translocations)
The fragile X gene FMR1 abnormal expansion of the ____ repeat on long arm of X chromosome, with greater than ____ repeats causes full syndrome, and ___ - ____ repeats causes premutation.
CGG
>200 full syndrome
55-200 premutation
autoimmune cause of POI can be from adrenal or thyroid disease. which antibodies for these should be tested?
adrenal: 21-hydroxlse antibodies (anti-CYP21)
thyroid: thyroid peroxidase, anti-thyroglobulin
which type of chemo drugs is most toxic to ovaries? (2)
alkylating agents (cyclophosphamide, cisplatin) and procarbazine
amenorrhea or delayed puberty/sexual development but normal pubic hair, and anosmia is ______ syndrome
Kallmann syndrome
what are the 3 main features of McCune-Albright syndrome (aka, Polyostotic Fibrous Dysplasia) ? and what is the pathologic mechanism? (mutation in _____)
- multiple disseminated cystic bone lesions that easily fracture
- cafe au lait skin spots
- precocious puberty
bonus: other features: ovarian cysts, growth hormone and prolactin adenomas, hyperthyroidism, hypercortisolism, osteomalacia
mechanism: mutation in the alpha subunit of a G protein
what is the most common cause of precucious puberty onset AFTER 4 years of age?
idiopathic
what is the most common cause of precocious puberty onset BEFORE 4 years of age?
CNS lesion
what is the most common cause of delayed puberty?
ovarian failure. specifically, gonadal dysgenesis (Turner syndrome, Swyer’s syndrome).
what imaging modality should be used to evaluate renal system in someone who has mullerian anomalies?
CT urogram or renal ultraosund
ultraound findings diagnostic of pregnancy failure:
1) CRL of ___mm or greater and no heart beat.
2) mean sac diameter of _____mm and no _____
3) absence of EMBRYO W HEARTBEAT, _____ or more after ultrasound that showed ________
4) abscence of embryo WITH HEART BEAT _____ or more after US that showed _________
1) 7mm CRL and no heartbeat
2) 25mm sac diameter and no embryo
3)absence of EMBRYO W HEARTBEAT, 2 weeks after scan that showed gestational sac WITHOUT a yolk sac aka empty gestational sac
4) abscence of embryo WITH HEART BEAT 11 days or more after US that showed gest sac WITH yolk sac
criteria for APLS diagnosis:
clinical:
lab:
failure to lactate within 7 days after delivery may be the first sign of what syndrome?
sheehan’s syndrome
relative vs absolute contraindications for MTX
testes determining factor AKA SRY gene is located where?
distal short arm of the Y chromosome
what is hereditary pattern/gene of AIS?
X-linked recessive
(mutation in androgen receptor gene)
what is hereditary pattern/gene of 5alpha reductase defic?
autosomal recessive
what is most common gonadal tumor to occur in people with 46 XY with female phenotype?
gonadoblastoma (can also have dysgerminomas and embryonal carcinomas)
mechanism of clomiphene vs letrozole
clomiphene:
letrizole:
prevalence of endometriosis in general population of reproductive age is 6-10%. what’s the prevalence in infertile women? in chronic pelvic pain?
infertility: 38% (20-50%)
CPP: 71-87%
