22
Q

What imaging?

A

Ultrasound! Abdominal and transvaginal (TVUS)

Esp if pelvic mass

23
Q

Surgical procedures

A
Laproscopy
Endometrial biopsy
Colposcopy (to closely examine cervix/vagina for dz, indicated if abnormal PAP)
Vulvar biopsy
Hysterectomy
24
Q

Hematocolpos

A

Obstruction (imperforate hymen or congenital malformation) causes accumulation of menstrual blood

25
Q

Masses in reproductive aged women

A

Pregnancy, fibroid/myoma, ovarian cysts, ectopic pregnancy, benign teratomas (most common), hydrosalpinges, endometriomas

post menopausal…cancerous

26
Q

Endometriosis vs adenomyosis vs fibroid

A

Endo: normal endometrium grows on the outside of the uterus (or even other places!)
Adenomyosis: normal endometrium grows into muscular wall of uterus
Fibroids: muscular tissues making a lump

27
Q

Adenomyosis

A

Glands of uterus infiltrate muscle tissue of uterus. Bleed like crazy! Cause of dysmenorrhea

28
Q

Pelvic pain DDX

A

GU, GI, reproductive, musculoskeletal

29
Q

Mittelschmerz

A

Sudden onset, sharp pain during ovulation

30
Q

PID

A

Not always related to STI…need immediate treatment.
Marked CMT and adnexal tenderness.
Common sequelae of GC/CT

31
Q

Sequelae from big cysts

A
Adnexal torsion (if twists will -->necrosis)
Rupture can --> peritonitis
32
Q

Abdominal pain mantra

A

Are you having any nausea/vomiting/fever/chills?

33
Q

Menorrhagia

A

Excessive duration (>7days) and/or amount (>80mL) of bleeding per cycle

34
Q

Pelvic pain related to menses

A

Dysmenorrhea, endometriosis, Mittelschmerz

35
Q

Pain unrelated to menses

A

PID, ruptured ovarian cyst, ruptured ectopic pregnancy, acute degeneration of uterine fibroid, adnexal torsion, adhesions, uterine or ovarian cancer, spontaneous abortion

36
Q

Review all the systems:

A

Gyn, GI, GU, musculoskeletal (diastasis of pubic symphysis)

37
Q

Pelvic pain that may require surgery

A

Tubo-ovarian cyst (assoc w PID); ectopic pregnancy; ruptured/torsion of ovarian cysts, appendicitis, bowel perforation

38
Q

Red flags on PE for pelvic pain

A
Syncope or hemorrhagic shock
Peritoneal signs
Post-menopausal vaginal bleeding 
Fever/chills
Sudden, severe pain with N/V, diaphoresis, agitation
39
Q

Post menopausal bleeding

A

Vaginal bleeding >6 mos (12 mos) after last normal menses…likely cancer

40
Q

DUB

A

Dysfunctional unterine bleeding. Problem with HPO axis…can yield to Anovulation –> no progesterone –> unopposed estrogen –> stimulation of endometrial glands –> sloughs irregularly, incompletely, excessive or long

41
Q

AUB

A

May be structural, inflammatory, other gyn disorder, rarely due to bleeding disorder

42
Q

Risk factors for endometrial cancer

A

Obesity, DM, HTN, prolonged unopposed estrogen use, PCOS, >35 years

43
Q

Red flags for abnormal vaginal bleeding

A

Hemorrhagic shock, premenarchal and postmenopausal vaginal bleeding, vaginal bleeding in pregnant patients

44
Q

Abnormal bleeding labs

A

Pregnancy test! CBC, ferritin, thyroid panel, prolactin, TVUS/sonohysterogram, EM biopsy, PT/PTT/vWF, vulvar biopsy, Pap smear, FSH/LH

If suspect PCOS…serum testosterone, DHEAS, fasting glucose

45
Q

Key points of abnormal vaginal bleeding

A

Always exclude pregnancy!
DUB..most common cause of abnormal bleeding during reproductive years
Vaginitis, forgiven bodies, trauma, sexual abuse common causes
Post menopausal bleeding needs to be evaluated for cancer

46
Q

Tanner stage I

A

Prepubertal

47
Q

Tanner stage II

A

Palpable sub areolar breast buds, presentable pubic hairs

48
Q

Tanner stage III

A

Engagement and elevation of whole breast, sexual pubic hairs

49
Q

Tanner stage IV

A

Areolar mounding (transient), progression of pubic hair on pubis, not to medial surface of thighs

50
Q

Tanner stage V

A

Mature breast contour, mature female escutcheon (inverted triangle pattern)

51
Q

Follicular phase/endometrial proliferative phase

A

During menses estrogen and progesterone are lo…FSH/LH rise

Endometrium increases to 11mm late in follicular phase

52
Q

Ovulation phase

A

Strong LH surge and slight FSH surge…oocyte released

53
Q

Luteal phase/ endometrial secretory phase

A

Body temp rises due to thermogenic properties of progesterone
Progesterone peaks day 21 ideal implantation time
Endometrium ~14mm thick
Mature squamous cells are shed…provides glycogen for lactobacillus

54
Q

Run CBC with abnormal bleeding

A

Check if anemic or hypovolemic

55
Q

Abnormal vaginal bleeding: pos pregnancy test

A

Spontaneous abortion, ectopic preg, gestational trophoblastic dz, endometritis secondary to retained products of conception

56
Q

AUB, negative pregnancy test

A

DUB: brain lesion, drugs, hypothyroidism, adrenal/ovarian tumors

Structural: vaginal disorders, cancer, adenosis, trauma, cervical CA, uterine fibroids/endometritis/polyps, ovarian tumors
