Endo/Repro/Genetics Flashcards
What are sx of central precocious puberty? Dx? Tx? next step?
- accelerated bone growth
- high FSH/LH due to early activation HPO axis
Dx: GnRH stimulation test –> LH/FSH should increase
Tx: GnRH therapy to maximize height / prevent epiphyseal closure
next step: do CT/MRI to r/o pituitary/hypothalamus tumor
What does it tell you if LH/FSH increase by a lot when you give GnRH
central precocious puberty
What are sx of peripheral precocious puberty? Dx? next step?
- accelerated bone growth
- low FSH/LH
- M will not have enlarged testes
Dx: GnRH stim test –> LH/FSH flat
next step: do pelvic US to look for source of hormone
What is McCune Albright?
3 P’s
- precocious puberty
- pigmentation (cafe au lait)
- Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia (bone defects)
What is cause of primary dysmenorrhea? Tx?
release of prostaglandins from endometrium cause contraction
treat = NSAIDS
What are 4 causes of secondary dysmenorrhea?
endometriosis: uterosacral nodulartiy, adnexal tender
adenomyosis: uterine tender and enlarged
pelvic infection: CVM
uterine leiomyoma: uterine contour irregularity, heavy bleed
What are steps for evaluation primary amenorrhea?
if no secondary sex characteristics do pelvic exam/US
- if uterus present do FSH
- — increased FSH –> karyotype
- — decreased –> cranial MRI
- uterus absent: karyotype and T
- – 46 XX w/ normal T –> abnormal mullerian dev
- – 46 XY w/ high T –> androgen insensitivity
When is amenorrhea normal?
isolated amenorrhea w/ 2ndary sex characteristics normal to 16
w/ absent sex characteristics normal to 14
What are some med treatments for acute abnormal uterine bleed?
- high dose estrogen, progestin, or combined OCP
- tranexamic acid
What is most common cause abnormal uterine bleeding in adolescents?
immature HPO axis causing anovulatory cycles
When do you treat cryptorchidism? complications? effect of surgery?
treat before 1 year
complications _ inguinal hernia, testicle torsion,
surgery decreases but does not eliminate risk of cancer, subfertility; does eliminate risk of torsion
MC complication = subfertility
What is MCC acute scrotal pain/swelling in boy 12+? tx?
testricular torsion
= surgical emergency, can save if treat in 4-6 hrs
What ia a varicocele?
common after 10 mo
dilation of pampiniform venous plexus
–> bag of worms on palpation, reduced sperm count, reassurance for now, eventually may need surgery
usually L side
What is a hydrocele?
accumulation fluid in tunica vaginalis, usually resolves spontaneouls in year 1
dx: transilluminates, do not need to do US for confirmation
What is complete androgen insensitivity?
46 XY mut androgen receptor
breast dev, absent uterus and upper vagina, cryptorchid testes
minimal or absent pubic/axillary
keep testes in until puberty to help patient reach full height
What is mullerian agenesis?
46 X
absent or rudimentary uterus and upper vagina, normal ovaries, breast dev,
normal pubic hair
What is traverse vaginal septum?
46 XX
malrotation of urogenital sinus an dmulleim
normal uterus/ ovaries /pubic/ breast
abnormal vagina
What happens to sex characteristics in turner?
normal uterus and vagina w/ streak ovaries
low estrogen, high FSH b/c lack of negative feedback
normal axillary/pubic hair
What is presentation noonan syndrome?
short stature, ptosis, webbed neck, shield chest, cryptorchid, edema hand/feet
pulm stenosis
What is presentation kallman?
47 XY, XR failure GNRH and olfactory neurons to migrate
short stature, delayed/absent puberty
anosmia
can be F but usually M
What is presentation klinefelter
tall, marfinoid
What presentation / lab values in 21 hydroxylase deficiency?
- virilization
- vomiting/hypotension
- low cortisol/aldosterone
- high testosterone
- high 17 hydroxyprogesterone
high Na, high K
