Cervix, Uterus, and Ovaries Flashcards
cervicitis with foamy, greenish discharge and strawberry cervix
caused by trichomoniasis
cervicitis with thin, gray discharge with fish smell
caused by bacterial vaginosis
cervicities with thick, creamy discharge
caused by neisseria gonorrhea
cervicitis with purulent pus like discharge
caused by chlamydia trachomatis
cervicitis with white/curd like discharge
candidiasis
patient presents with post coital bleeding, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, lower abdominal pain, back pain, urgency, frequency, dysuria, puriritis, and vulvular pain. Also has leukorrhea. What is in ddx?
cervicitis. ask about discharge if acute condition
problem with cervicitis is it is often asymptomatic. if left untreated, can potentially lead to..
PID, chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and ectopic pregnancy
atypical cells of undetermined significance
ASCUS cells- abnormal, but not enough to call dysplasia
CIN II of cervical dysplasia
abnormal cells in half thickness of cervix lining
CIN III of cervical dysplasia
abnormal cells in entire thickness of cervix lining, but has not spread below to surface layer
in what treatments of cervical dysplasia can depth of tx be controlled/not controlled?
controlled in laser tx, not controlled in cryotherapy
result of cryotherapy tx in cervical dysplasia
damaged cells will shed in heavy watery discharge for 1 month
which tx of cervical dysplasia has lowest recurrence rate?
hysterectomy
tx of cervical dysplasia
cryotherapy, laser, cone biopsy, LEEP, hysterectomy
F/U of cervical dysplasia
CIN I- cytology at 6 months and 12 months OR HPV DNA testing at 12 months. CIN II and III- cytology or colposcopy at 4-6 months x 2 years
cell type affected in cervical cancer
squamous cell- 85%. adenocarcinoma on the rise
how to differentiate cervicitis with cervical cancer via symptoms. both may have post coital bleeding, but
cervicities- pruritic, cervical cancer- non pruritic
dx of cervical cancer
papsmear- vaginal cytology, cervical biopsy or endocervical curettage or conization
prevention of cervical cancer
gardasil quadravalent (6/11/16/18) or cervix bivalent HPV vaccine (16/18)
patient presents with heavy, irregular vaginal bleeding and pelvic pressure and pain. US shows fibroid tumor causing enlarged uterus. What other tests to do you?
suspect leiomyoma- pregnany test, U/A, Hgb levels,
tx for leiomyoma
symptomatic- intermittent ocp or progestrin,, myomectomy, hysterectomy
if preggo with leimyoma, and fibroid tumor greater than 3 cm,
increased risk of preterm labor, placental abruption, pelvin pain, and c-section
when do leiomyoma grow and atrophy?
responsive to hormones- so rapid growth in estrogen phases (enlarges with menstrual cycle) and atrophies during menopause
leiomyoma tumor made of of…
CT and smooth muscle
noncancerous uterine thickening
adenomyoma
heavy bleeding and severe cramping with menstrual periods. dx?
maybe its menorrhagia or leiomyoma. do surgical excision- if endometrial tissue in thick uterine lining, consider adenomyoma
tx for adenomyoma
lupron or synarel, surgery good when confined to isolated area in muscle wall.
dx of adenomyoma
surgical excision- only proven way to truly diagnose
first line imaging test for females with abnormal uterine bleeding
transvaginal US
sx of cervical or uterine polyps
postcoital bleeding, intermenstrual bleeding, heavy periods, metrorrhagia, leukorrhea
