Q

GSM aka atrophic vaginitis complaints:
pH?
KOH whiff test?
Microscopic exam on saline wet mount?

A

itching/burning (can be entire urethra region but not UTI), discharge, but can have no sx’s

Q

GSM aka atrophic vaginitis intervention

A

give topical and/or vaginal estrogen IF symptomatic and/or recurrent UTI
if estrogen lvls go down= lacto goes down and includes urethra region. using topical estrogen, lacto recolonizes = fewer UTI

oral estrogen ALONE is NOT effective , can be effective WITH topical

69
cervical cancer screening in what ages?
start age 21 or 25 and stop 65 yrs
70
do women with hysterecomy need cervical cancer screening?
total hysterecomty with cervical removal can stop UNLESS hysterectomy was for cervical cancer or precancer (CIN 2 or 3) -but if have hysterectomy with cervix still intact, continue screening guidelines
71
women with hx of CIN 2 or CIN 3
continue cervical screening for at least 20 yrs (more frequent the first few yrs to make surer all cancer cells were removed)
72
anal testing in men and women
routine testing NOT rec if asx -test high risk: HIV, anal sex, hx of anal warts, hx of cervical or vulvar cancer -test every year for HIV + and every 2-3 yrs for HIV negative

HIV care in all adults/adolescents that are HIV + -start ASAP after diagnosing -lifelong
74
preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP)
use of ART for high risk of being infected but don't have HIV (sex, injection) -start ASAP after a risk behavior assessment that determines they're high risk of HIV and lab testing confirms absence of HIV infection -daily treatment until risk of HIV is low from less exposure
75
Postexposure prophylaxis (PEP)
