A

Secondary amenorrhea: 6 or more month cessation of menses after menarche

91
Q

A

-Positive ovulation kit (LH surge) 24-36 hours BEFORE ovulation
-Increase in basal body temperature (BBT)
0.5-1 degree AFTER ovulation
-Cervical mucus:
Leading up to ovulation (thin, milky)
to “egg-white” (spinnbarkeit)
-Location/opening of cervix
Slightly open and positioned higher
around ovulation
-Change in symptoms: varies per person
Increase in libido, headaches,
“mittelschmerz”, ovulation spotting,
improved productivity

93
Q

How long can an ovum survive?

How long can Sperm Survive?

A

24 hours

5 days

94
Q

Where does fertilization occur?

A

Outer third of the fallopian tube (ampulla)

95
Q

Diploid Zygote

A

Sperm penetrates the ovum layers and prevents other sperm from penetrating it as well. Final meiotic division

96
Q

Implantation

A

-Cleavage (cell replication) occurs during the long trip from the ampulla to the uterus
Blastomeres → morula (day 3) → blastocyst (day 4)
Implantation usually occurs at the top of uterus (fundus) 6-10 days after ovulation
-Blastocyst is composed of a trophoblast, embryoblast, and cavity
-Trophoblast → placenta (outer cell mass)
-Embryoblast → embryo (inner cell mass)
-Blastocyst burrows into endometrium at implantation site → trophoblast forms chorionic villi that invade into endometrial blood supply

97
Q

Intrauterine Development Stages (3)

A
  1. Ovum (conception → day 14)
  2. Embryo (day 15 → 8 weeks (60 days))
  3. Fetus (8 weeks (60 days) → birth)
98
Q

Intrauterine Development

Stage 1: Ovum Development

A
  • Cellular replication
  • -Blastocyst formation
  • Formation of embryonic membrane and primary germ layer
99
Q

Intrauterine Development

Stage 2: Embryonic Development

A

-Most critical time for organ development
Involves:
-Embryonic disk
-Trophoblast → chorionic membrane (chorion)
Surrounds fetal side of placenta
-Inner cell mass → amniotic membrane (amnion)
Surrounds fetus and holds
amniotic fluid
-Blastocyst cavity → amniotic cavity
-Other cavity → yolk sac
Temporary source of oxygen,
nutrients, and blood cells until
placental circulation forms

Also includes development of the amniotic fluid, umbilical cord, and placenta

100
Q

What is TOO much or TOO little amniotic fluid?

A

Too much: oligohydramnios

Too little: polyhydramnios

101
Q

Amniotic Fluid

A
  • Temperature Control
  • Fluid/Electrolyte/waste balance
  • Protective
  • has 2 arteries (bring deoxygenated blood up and away from fetus back to placenta.
  • has 1 vein (bring oxygenated blood to fetus)
102
Q

Placenta

A

-Functions: metabolic, nutrition, respiratory, excretion, storage, transportation, hormone production
-Takes over the hormone production from the corpus luteum around 12 weeks
-Trophoblast cells create chorionic villi that connect endometrial spiral arteries with the maternal circulation
-An intervillous space exists at this maternal-fetal junction
*Determines what is allowed to
pass placental barrier
*Exchange of oxygen, CO2,
nutrients, wastes, teratogens, IgG
immunity

103
Q

Teratogens

A
  • Environmental/external hazard/substance that can cause functional or structural abnormalities
  • Effect on fetus will depend at what point in development they are when exposed
  • Types: drugs, toxins, infectious agents (like TORCH infections), chemicals, radiation

Biggest effect during:
Embryonic stage (days 15-60) when cells are rapidly dividing and differentiating
If affected ova stage, likely → miscarriage
If affected fetal stage, likely → brain development issues

104
Q

Torch Infections

A
  • Viruses, bacteria, and parasites that can cause devastating, congenital changes to a fetus
  • Severity depends on infection & when exposed in pregnancy
  • Fetuses that survive often have microcephaly (small head), rashes, vision or sight problems, cardiac defects
  • Symptoms in pregnancy range from asymptomatic to flu-like symptoms and rashes
105
Q

Toxoplasmosis:

A
  • parasite found in contaminated soil
    Often asymptomatic; educate patients to avoid changing the cat litter box and eating undercooked meat (torch infection well)
106
Q

Other Torch Infections:

A

-
Like HIV, syphilis, chickenpox, varicella, listeria, parovirus B19 [slapped cheek rash]

-Rubella
-Routinely tested in the 1st and 3rd
trimester; [full body rash]; combat
by giving -MMR vaccine when
nonpregnant
-Cytomegalovirus (CMV)
-Very common in daycares; many
asymptomatic [petechial rash;
mimics mononucleosis
symptoms]
-Herpes (HSV)
2 types oral and genital; if active lesions near the vagina then a vaginal delivery will be contraindicated
Pregnant persons with HSV history recommended to take an antiretroviral for suppression ~36 weeks

Q

Intrauterine Development

Stage 3: Fetal Development

A

Less vulnerable to teratogens (except if targets CNS development)

108
Q

Ectopic Pregnancy

A

Implantation of a pregnancy outside the uterine cavity
95% occur in the fallopian tube
Assume all pain and bleeding may be an ectopic until proven otherwise
Treatment: Start ASAP. Methotrexate (chemotherapy drug) and close monitoring of hcg levels
If Methotrexate not effective, may need to surgically remove
If ectopic not diagnosed fast enough, can result in rupture → risk of sepsis and salpingectomy (surgical removal of fallopian tube)

  • Diagnosis: no intrauterine pregnancy (IUP) despite elevated hcg levels; can sometimes visualize the pregnancy on ultrasound
  • Ectopic pregnancies can also occur in old cesarean incision scars
  • With a ruptured ectopic, bleeding can escape into the peritoneal cavity → distention, infection, pressure against chest wall (pain with breathing or referred shoulder pain)
109
Q

Molar Pregnancies

A
  • Abnormal growth of trophoblast tissue
  • Characterized by “size > dates” (abnormal increase in uterine size), abnormally high hcg levels, hyperemesis gravidarum, no fetal heart tones, bleeding, cramping d/t uterine distention
  • Treatment: Removal of tissue as soon as diagnosed (D&C)
  • Risk of this tissue turning malignant
  • Follow-up: Requires serial monitoring of hcg levels to ensure they drop to zero and recommendation to wait to conceive again for at least one year
110
Q

Miscarriage

A

-Pregnancy that ends unexpectedly before 20 weeks
-Turner’s syndrome is the most common chromosomal abnormality leading to miscarriage
-No current evidence to support waiting to conceive again (personal decision)
Early 1st trimester miscarriages most common
-Risk of miscarriage exponentially decreases after cardiac activity identified and further decreases into 2nd trimester
-Majority are due to chromosomal abnormalities

111
Q

Types of Miscarriages

A

-Threatened- vaginal bleeding, closed cervix, fetal cardiac activity
Inevitable- vaginal bleeding, dilated cervix, products of conception may be seen or felt above cervix
Incomplete- Vaginal bleeding, dilated cervix, some products of conception expelled and some remain
Complete

112
Q

Infertility

A
  • Inability to conceive after 1 year of unprotected intercourse (under age 35) and after 6 months (over age 35)
  • Every cycle, a couple has a 20% chance of conceiving
  • equal chance that female or male is the factor
113
Q

Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS)

A
  • Clomid and Letrozole can cause uncomfortable symptoms due fluid retention
  • Fluid overload can lead to severe dehydration, blood clots, and death if untreated
114
Q

Types of Fertility Treatments

A

-Timed intercourse
-Common medications:
Ovulation induction agents:
Clomiphene (Clomid) or Letrozole
Metformin
-Other hormonal medications
-Intrauterine insemination (IUI)
-ART = artificial reproductive technology

115
Q

Infertility Work-Up: Male

A
  • Semen analysis + lab work

- Can also do a postcoital test to assess how sperm travels in cervical mucus

116
Q

Infertility Work-up: Female

A

-Hormone testing + lab work + ultrasound + test for fallopian tube patency (HSG) + test -uterine cavity (saline sonohysterogram, hysteroscopy)

117
Q

Uterus: Endometrial Cycle: 4 Phases

A
  1. Menstrual phase-endometrial shedding of necrotic lining
  2. Proliferative phase-endometrial thickening
    Due to increased estrogen from ovarian follicles
  3. Secretory phase-endometrial maturation (prepares to house a baby)
    Due to increased progesterone
  4. Ischemic phase
    Regression of the corpus luteum → Decreased estrogen and progesterone → Decreased blood supply to endometrium → necrosis
118
Q

Precocious puberty:

A

Early puberty; sexual development occurring before age

119
Q

Fertility Awareness Methods

A

-Standard days method
Should only be used if regular,
predictable cycles
Avoid or have intercourse on fertile
days depending on desire for
pregnancy
-Cervical mucus method
Observing mucus and cervical
position
-Basal body temperature (BBT) method
Checking daily temperatures upon
waking
Increase in BBT confirms ovulation
after the fact; not helpful in
predicting ovulation
Symptothermal method
Combination of methods

120
Q

Hormones of Menstruation: Non Pregnant

A
  • Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH): released from the hypothalamus
  • Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH): released from the anterior pituitary
  • Luteinizing Hormone (LH): released from the anterior pituitary
  • Estrogen: Primarily released from the ovary
  • Progesterone: Primarily released by the corpus luteum
121
Q

Menstrual Cycle Phases

A 
-HPO cycle: hormonal positive and negative feedback loops
            Involves GnRH, LH, FSH and 
             responds to 
             estrogen/progesterone
- Ovarian cycle: 2 phases 
            Follicular and Luteal 
Endometrial cycle: 4 phases 
          Menstrual, proliferative, secretory, 
          ischemic
122
Q

Menstrual Cycle: Stage 1

HPO Cycle

A
  • Characterized by hormones with positive and negative feedback loops
  • At time of menstruation, low estrogen & progesterone → hypothalamus to secrete GnRH → anterior pituitary to secrete FSH → ovaries to produce several mature follicles → follicles make estrogen until mature
  • Once follicles are mature right before ovulation, a decrease in estrogen → GnRH to stimulate LH → LH surge to mature dominant oocyte → ovum (egg) to be released from follicle within 24-36 hours → ovulation → decrease in estrogen and empty follicle becomes corpus luteum
  • If fertilization occurs, corpus luteum is maintained → increases in progesterone and estrogen to maintain a pregnancy
  • If fertilization does not occur, corpus luteum regresses → decreased estrogen and progesterone → hypothalamus to secrete GnRH
123
Q

Menstrual Cycle: Stage 2

Ovarian Cycle: 2 phases

A

-Biological females are born with all eggs they will ever have
-Ovaries house follicles that contain oocytes (immature ova) secrete estrogen
-Ovulation and menses
*Follicular stage (pre-ovulatory):
variable in length per person and
based on stress, external factors
*Ovulation causes a drop in
estrogen
*Luteal phase (post-ovulatory):
consistent per individual; average
of 14 days
-Corpus luteum’s peak activity is about a week post-ovulation
*At this time, if implantation occurs,
corpus luteum remains and produces
estrogen and progesterone
*If no implantation, drop in hormones
and onset of menstruation
