Q

What is a a hysterosalpingogram and what is it used for?

A
  • Injection of radiographic contrast goes into the cervical os to see the uterine cavity and if the fallopian tubes are open (normally open to the peritoneal cavity)
  • For fertility studies
  • Open uterine cavity means a chance for successful implantation of fertilized egg

Q

What happens in VUR if reflux is present with a UTI and the cause is a congenital anomaly at the UV junction?

A

Same thing as a short ureteral tunnel - pyelonephritis and renal damage can result

Ovarian torsion

31
Q

If a patient’s bHCG level is >1000 IU/mL (2IS Standard) or >2000 IU/mL (IRP Standard) what should be identifiable on a Transvaginal Sonogram?

A

intrauterine gestational sac

32
Q

An intrauterine gestational sac should be present by how many weeks?

33
Q

An intrauterine gestational sac should show embryonic cardiac activity by 5+ weeks on a transvaginal when the sac is at least 16mm long or?

A

embryonic crown rump length is at least 5mm

34
Q

What are the criteria for an Ectopic Pregnancy?

A
  • If no intrauterine gestational sac is seen at all
  • If a live, extrauterine embryo is identified
  • There is free fluid in the pelvis or peritoneum
  • There is an adnexal mass
  • There is a hematosalpinx (blood in fallopian)
35
Q

T/F: PID can be anything from a mild inflammation to an extensive abscess within the tubes and ovaries (tuboovarian abscess)

A

True!

*may see fluid collections and pus on CT and US

36
Q

Why can there sometimes be both benign or malignant tumors including hair, teeth, fat, etc. in dermoid cysts of the ovary?

A

Because the ovary contains plenipotential cells (can develop into any type of organ)

A

Suspensory Ligament of Ovary

51
Q

What supporting structure of the ovary is continuous with the Round Ligament of the uterus and attaches to the lower pole of the ovary?

Q

What fascia supports the bladder? What happens when this fascia weakens?

A
  • Pubocervical Fascia
  • When weakened, often 2/2 to childbirth, the support of the bladder weakens and a Cystocele (Prolapse) occurs
