E2 aka ?
Estradiol
Normal Pap smear results ?
No atypical cells
Hysterogram own notes ?
Bicornuate uterus - impartial development
Septate uterus - sometimes the septet restricts fetal growth and leads to fetal demise
Asherman syndrome - adhesions , incompletely filling pockets
FSH / LH decreased ?
Pituitary failure
Hypothalamus failure

- *not everyone gets tested
- *
Schiller Test: ______ _______ is an aqueousiodinepreparation and is commonly used for the Schiller test.
Lugol’s solution
Dx tests: Ovarian torsion ?
US
E2 and GRH ratio ?
↓ E2 = ↑ GRH (hypothalamus)
- *negative feedback to GnRH in hypo
- *
What is the main screening for carvical CA ?
Pap smear
Hysterosalpingography (HSP) indications ?
Usually a work-up for infertility
Testosterone increased in females ?
Ovarian tumor
Adrenal tumor
PCOS
-hirsutism and acne = sxs. anovulatory cycles and get all these follicles floating around in the opvarys and they never get periods and they get infertility with it.
E3 Increases at _____ gestation and rises throughout _________
8 wks
pregnancy
What is a Laparoscopy ?
Allows direct visualization of the intraabdominal and pelvic organs.
**just LOOKing!
using tools to go in through puncture wounds but this is no procedure ( this is just looking)
endometriosis or fibroid on outside of uterus in the myometrium**
Ovarian Disorder examples ?
Ovarian Cysts
PCOS
Ovarian CA
Ovarian Torsion
Normal Testosterone in females ?
< 300 pg/ml
Pap Smear guidelines: Women age 21-65 ?
Pap tests no more than Q 3 years
D & C indications ?
DUB
Abnormal vaginal bleeding
Endometrial hyperplasia or carcinoma
Therapeutic:
- Remove embedded IUD
- DUB
E2 (Estradiol): premarin ?
methylestradiol - made from pregnant mare urine ( horse pee)
Uterine disorder examples ?
Asherman Syndrome Endometrial Ca Endometriosis Leiomyoma Adenomyoma PID Toxic Shock Syndrome
What is the major circulating estrogen after menopause ?
E1 (Estrone)
Pap smear: What is the purpose of Bethesda System for Reporting Cervical and Vaginal Cytologic Diagnoses ?
Minimize discrepancy between reports on cervical cytologic findings ( across PAP smear results)
- Adequacy ( of specimen)
- General Categorization
- Interpretation/Result
- Ancillary tests
Box 7-1 Mosby’s p.744
Dx tests: Leiomyoma ?
US
Laparoscopy
Hysteroscopy
Hysterogram
Dx tests: PID ?
GC/ CT Swabs
US
Culdocentesis
Colposcopy findings: carcinoma in situ ?
Pink or red well-circumscribed punctate lesion
Dx tests: Bartholin cyst ?
culture
When is E2(Estradiol) elevated ?
Precocious puberty
early age
Ovarian tumor
Testicular tumor
Adrenal tumor
Pregnancy
Liver necrosis
Hyperthyroidism
**
adrenal tumor cause they increase sterols and then the hormones ( cortisol is related)
liver necrosis - nothing is being metabolized
hyperthyroidism - problems with hypothalamic pituitary access **
Mammogram: own notes ?
right is speculated and breast may be deformed here and mass may be pulling on tissue
MC in a breast are typically precursors to CA
right - smooth, uniform but suspicion enough for a bx
benign cysts you usually just leave it and no BX so you can get a US cause they are fluid filled
Cervical Ca usually starts with ?
HPV infection
Culdocentesis own notes ?
Pouch of Douglas - rectouterine pouch and this collects fluid in the area - infection to get a culture and for relief of sxs. and for a rupture ectopic and there is blood in there
2000 beta HCG - and they do a US and they see nothing and the woman has pain and is tachy - then they do a US and see ultrasound and see fluid here they can do this procedure and maybe see blood there
Gonadotropins own notes ?
FSH and LH go to the ovary and it secretes estrogen when then does the negative feedback
Dx tests: Ovarian cysts ?
US
Laparascopy
FSH in males aids in the development of ?
sertoli cells
which develop into sperm
Estradiol is produced where ?
ovary
LEEP aka ?
Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure
**the MC procedure done and it used electrosurgical loop and it cauterizes as it excises **
Cervical Biopsy what is it ?
Biopsy of the cervix to identify and treat premalignant cells and superficial malignancies
Bx that area away
What are the 3 major estrogens ?
E1
E2
E3
Estrogen’s order of potency ?
estriol < estrone < estradiol
Hysterosalpingography (HSG) own notes ?
this one shows the fallopian tubes
sapling shows fallopian tubes
**this procedure is kinda painful and can cause cramping
some women have an easier time getting pregnant after this exam**
Other cervical tests: Review ?
Chlamydia (NAAP is the most common test for G and C)
Gonorrhea
Wet Mount
BV ( clue cells = epithelial cells coating in bacteria and trichomonal - mobile flagellate )
KOH prep - viruses and it dissolves the epithelial cells
Dx tests: Endometrial CA ?
Pap smear
Endometrial bx
Hysteroscopy
When is a Colposcopy used ?
Used to evaluate patients that have an abnormal Pap with a grossly normal cervix
More thorough eval of an abnl Pap
more through evaluation
Estrogen and Progesterone own notes ?
if you are taking P then you are keeping the endometrium thin - cause is is a continous amount this is no surge to thicken it
taking steady P and E prevents the spike
E have an affect on the clotting mechanism so there is a risk of DVT and TE
What estrogen develops secondary sex characteristic in females ?
estradiol
Diagnostic tests: galactorrhea ?
Prolactin
MRI brain
Prolactin is used to evaluate: Galactorrhea ?
elevated with pituitary adenomas or cancers
What estrogen assess placental function ?
E3
Diagnostic tests: infertility ?
