Q

Adenomyosis symptoms and cause

A

Ectopic endometrial tissue grows into the myometrium

  • symmetrically enlarged, globular, boggy uterus dues to hypertrophy of myometrium
  • can cause abnormal uterine bleeding, dysmenorrhea
18
Q

Endometriosis vs adenomyosis

A

Adenomyosis ( A for aged)
- older, multiparous women ( but not post-menopausal)
- tissue is not as responsive to hormonal stimulation ,noncyclic pain ( old people stuck in their ways noncyclic)

Endometriosis (E for estrogen)
- young nulliparous women
-tissue responds to hormonal stimulation
-cyclic pain ( young like change so cyclic)

19
Q

chocolate cyst in the ovary is

A

ovarian endometrioma
endometrial tissue in ovary

tender, palpable, freely mobile adnexal mass
on US appears as homogenous ovarian cyst with ground glass appearance

20
Q

Endometriosis
Symptoms

A

Tissue grows outside uterus

Can be symptomatic 3D’s
Dysmenorrhea ( pain with menses), dyspareunia ( pain with sex), dyschezia ( pain with shitting)

  • infertility, ovarian mass, cyclic bowel or bladder symptoms
  • classic exam findings, immobile uterus, uterosacral ligament thickening, posterior fornix tenderness
21
Q

Endometriosis Treatment

A

Treatment: GNC AD

-GnRh agonist
-NSAID
-Contraceptive : combined, progestin

-aromatase inhibitor ie Letrozole (used in combo with progestin x refractory pain)
-Danazol (androgen derivative that suppresses FSH/LH, not commonly used due to androgenic ADR)

Surgery
-Conservative/ preserve reproductive potential: laparascopic lysis, ablation, excision of adhesions and endometriosis implants
-Definitive: hysterectomy +/- bilateral sapling-oophorectomy ( refractory cases when child bearing is complete)

22
Q

adenomyosis treatment

A

Treatment: (GNC)
-GnRh agonist
- NSAIDS
-contraceptives: combined or progestin

Surgery : hysterectomy or excision of adenomyoma

23
Q

unifocal, erythematous, highly friable plaque on labium majus
is most likely? risk factors?

A
24
Q

purple-hued plaques that are sometimes associated with thin, white striae around the labia and vulva

A

vulvar lichen planus

6 P’s of planus include: pruritic, purple papules , polygonal, planar, plaques

25
Q

cervical cancer symptoms

A

post coital bleeding, painless ulcerative lesions , pain less lymphadenopathy.

26
Q

T/F Endometriosis increases risk for endometrial cancer

A

False since endometriosis is gland proliferation outside the uterus

  • instead increases risk for infertility due to intraperitoneal inflammation and fibrosis, increasing risk for ovarian cancer
27
Q

diagnosis?

A

5 alpha reductase dificiency, due to inability to create DHT, external male genitalia is not formed, so internally male, externally female, no breasts

diagnosis: elevated testosterone/DHT ratio

28
Q

endometrial polyp

A

localized hyper plastic growth of endometrial gland

  • intermenstrual bleeding
29
Q

uterine leiomyomata

A

proliferation of myometrial smooth muscle

  • heavy regular menses, large irregular shaped uterus
30
Q

uterine artery embolization, after procedure symptoms

A
  • pain in first 24 hours: fever, nausea, malaise
  • weeks to months following embolization, patients experience watery, blood-tinged vaginal discharge due to on-going tissue sloughing
  • wet mount positive for leukocyctes = normal finding
31
Q

who do you screen for ovarian cancer and how?

A

Genetic screening in those with FH ( 2 or more 1rst degree relatives with breast or ovarian cancer, 3 or more relatives with lynch syndrome-associated cancer) Breast Cancer, Ashkenazi Jew ancestry

32
Q

hydantidiform mole symptoms

A
  • first trimester bleeding, abdominal pain, uterine size greater than expected, hyperemesis gravidarum, no fetal heart tones
  • inc b Hcg an also stimulate thyroid to secrete thyroid hormone, causing palpitations and jittery feeling
33
Q

when do you get an endometrial biopsy?

A

45yo and older: AUB, postmenopausal bleeding
younger then 45: AUB + 1 of following
unopposed estrogen / resistant to medications ( COC) / lynch syndrome
35 and older, atypical glandular cells on pap

34
Q

type II osteogenesis imperfecta

A

autosomal bone disorder due to faulty type 1 collagen sysntehsis causes decreased bone density and fragility

35
Q

in utero DES exposure is a risk factor for

A

clear cell adenocarcinoma (type of vaginal cancer)

36
Q

vaginal cancer risk factors

A
