Asherman’s syndrome- scaring of uterus
Therapy for PCOS
Weight loss

Dx step required in postmenopausal woman who presents with vaginal bleedings
Endometrial biopsy
Indications for medical Tx of ectopic
Pt stable, unruptured ectopic pregnancy of <6 wks gestation
Medical options for endometriosis
OCP
Danaxol
GnRH agonists
Lap findings endometriosis
Powder burns
Chocolate cysts

Ampulla of oviduct
How to Dx and follow leiomyoma
US
Natural Hx leiomyoma
Regress after menopause
PT has inc vaginal discharge and petechial patches in upper vagina and cervix
Trichomonal vaginitis
Tx for bacterial vaginosis
Oral or topical metronidazloe
Most common cause bloody nipple discharge
Intraductal papilloma
Contraceptive methods that protect against PID
OCP
Barrier contraception
Unopposed estrogen CI in which Ca?
Endometrial or estrogen receptor + brest cancer
Pt with recent PID and RUQ pain
Fitz Hugh Curtis syndrome
Breast malignancy presenting as itching, burning, erosion of nipple
Paget’s disease
Annual screening for women with strong FH og ovarian Ca
CA=125 and transvaginal US
50 yr woman leaks urine when laughing or coughing. Non surg Tx?

URGE INCONTINENCE
Antichol (oxybutynin)
Beta adrenergics (metaproterenol)
Lab values suggesting menopause
Inc FSH
Most common cause female infertility
Endometriosis
2 consecutive findings of ASUC on Pap smear. Follow up eval?
Colposcopy and endocervical curettage
Breast cancer type that inc future rusk of invasive CA in both breast

Order of events of normal female puberty
Adrenarche Gonadarche Thelarche Pubarche Growth spurt Menarche
Adrenal androgen production
Adrenarche
Activation of gonads by FSH and LH
Gonadarche
Appearance of breast tissue
Thelarche: 8-11
Appearance of pubic hair
Pubarche
Onset menses
Menarche: 10-16
Precocious puberty in boys
- Age
- Cause
<9
Adrenal hyperplasia
Isosexual precocious puberty cause (major)
CNS lesion
Trauma
Midcycle surge induces ovulation
Regulates chol conversion to pregnenolone in ovarian theca cells as initial step in estrogen synthesis
LH
Stimulates development of ovarian follicles
Regulates ovarian granulosa cell activity to control estrogen synthesis
FSH
Stimulates endometrial proliferation Aids follicle growth Induce LH surge High levels inhibit FSH secretion Principal role in sexual development
Estrogens (estradiol)
Stimulates endometrial gland development Inhibits uterine contraction Increases thickness cervical mucus Inhibits LH and FSH secretion; maintains pregnancy Decrease in levels leads to menstruation
Progesterone
Acts like LH after implantation of fertilized egg
Maintains corpus luteum viability and progesterone secretion
hCG
Necessary for pt who is XY but androgen insensitive
Must remove testicle- inc risk cancer
Length of time without menses to qualify as secondary amenorrhea
6 months
Dysmenorrhea: primary Sx begin when, secondary when?
Primary: beginning of menstruation Sx

- Androgen excess
- Polycystic ovaries on US
PCOS increased risk
Endometrial cancer 2/2 increased estrogen
