Q

Pap smear screening

A

who gets tested:

women under 21 should be tested regardless of sexual initiation

30-65- Pap and HPV every 5 years or Pap one every 3 years

over 65–> previous normal Paps- no testing

h/o pre-cancer- Paps 20 years after that dx

check for statement of adequacy: most have endocervical cells,

if adequate:
negative, atypical squamous cells, low grade spumous, or high grade , or cancer

management:
ASCUS- repeat 4-6 months, if second is same do colposcopy

ASC-H, LSIL, HSIL-colposccopy/ bx/ HPV testing

treat histology not pap results

CIN1- repeat in 6- 12 months
HPV DNA testing

contraception

A

NPF- tracking a women menstrual cycle,
avoid sex 48 hours before and after this time

condoms- protects gains STI, diaphragm ( bladder irritation), cervical cap
, spermicides

advantage: low SE profile, low cost

hormonal method
estrogen and progesterone - 3 weeks and 1 week off ( get periods

monphasic- dose is stay

-advantage- in monogamous relationship

OrthoEva- path changed once a week X 3 weeks
failure rate 1%

Nuva Ring-
leave in for 3 weeks and then come out for menses

  • estrogen suppress FSH so follicle won’t mature
  • no ovulation
  • mucous is thicker

labs: fetal fibronectiven testing
positive
negative lower risk

cervical length - if 2 cm at 20 weeks

if both abn 50/50 go into labor

management:
observe for 30-60 minutes and hydrate her

then abx to tx subclinical infection

bethamethsaone to help w/ fetal lungs
