When is medication indicated for Obesity
After diet and exercise
BMI over 30 or over 27 with Comorbids ( HTN.T2DM.CVD)
BMI obesity classes
Under = less than 18.4
NML = 18.5-24.9
Over Wt. = 25-29.9
Class 1 = 30 -34.9
Class 2 = 35-39.9
Class 3 = Over 40
Rule outs of secondary Causes of obesity
And what are the secondary effects
Cushings (fast wt gain-truncal) - Dex Mex Test
Acromegaly - IGF1
Thyroid- TSH/Free T4
What are the secondary effects of metabolic syndrome and DM
2
High cholesterol
CAD
Different causes of hirsutism (5)
Idiopathic
PCOS
Steriogofnic enzyme defects
Cancer
Rare Pharm.
Concerning signs of hirsutism that may indicate a neoplasm is the cause
Pure adrenal tumors
Outside of perimenapausal period
Rapid severe hair growth
VIRILIZATION
What meds cause hirsutism
Minoxidil; hair loss TXM drug
Cyclophosphene - organ transplant drug
Older progestins - northindrone
Difference hirsutism vs virilization
Hirsituism = hair only
Virilization = deepening of the voice with increased muscle growth and male hair distribution
What are we worried about with virilization
Cancer
Effective treatment for hirsituism (7)
Change OCP ; anti androgen progestin
Spironolactone = anti androgen [ good for hair acne and androgenic]
+METFORMIN
Flutamide + Bicalutamide = bind test. And suppress
[severe txm]
Finasteride = inhibit 5 alpha reductase [BAD PREG.]
Simvastatin = red. hirsutism [ good with OCP’s ]
Clomiphene = fertility restored aid PCOS + infertility

Features suspicious for malignancy in gyneocmastia
Asx
Location NOT below the Areola
Unusually firm
Nipple bleeding or with discharge
W/ abnormal tests and thyroid exam
What meds are used for gyenocmastia
Pubertal = self limited
Stop offending drug and switch
If painful,
SERM = tamoxifen/raloxifene
If hypogonadism = test r2
Radiation then last, Surgery
Pubertal gynecomastia vs breast cancer
Presentation
Puberty Uni / Bi lateral Tender discoid enlargement 2-3 cm in diameter TENDER Subsides at 1-2 years self limited wt loss helps!
What are lab tests for gynecomastia
PRL HcG LH
Testosterone
Estradiol
TSH/FT4
Karotype —> Klinefelters
When do we work up gynecomastia
Not physio or if caused by a condition known (Ex: thyroid disorder).
Primary hypogondsiam vs.
Secondary hypogonadism
Primary = testes dont produce testosterone (Hypergonad)
Secondary = pituitary or hypothalamus can’t secrete LH/FSH (Hypogonad)
What are the lab for male hypogonadism (Test/LH/FSH)
Primary vs secondary
Testosterone - taken in the MORNING!
Total test = 54-75% bount to SHBG
Free test = 23% (MOST AFFECTED - HYPOGONAD)
LH/FSH high Test low = Primary
LH/FSH low/ nml Test low = Secondary
