Gynecologic Infections Flashcards

Q

vaginal discharge

A
  • Estrogen thickens the vaginal epithelium → large glycogen production by epithelial cells
  • Intraepithelial glycogen → production of lactic acid
  • pH 3.5-4.0 in the vagina promotes growth of normal vaginal flora
    • Lactobacilli
    • Corynebacteria
  • Prepubertal girls at higher risk of vaginal infections due to thin epithelium
  • Postmenopausal women lose glycogen and acidity as estrogen declines → vaginal atrophy, dryness, increased risk of infection and trauma
  • Postmenopausal women also at risk for urinary incontinence, further predisposing to vaginal infections
  • Vaginal discharge is always present
    • Acidic
    • Clear or white mucoid
    • No odor
    • Not itchy or painful
    • May increase at the time of ovulation (cervical mucus increases)
  • Epithelial secretions, desquamation; vulvar secretions from sebaceous, sweat and apocrine glands
  • Vaginal discharge is abnormal if:
    • Increased volume, especially if soiling the clothes
    • Bad odor
    • Change in consistency or color
    • Irritation or pruritis, pain, burning
    • Dyspareunia or dysuria

      • Oral contraceptive pills, antibiotics
    • Underlying medical illness – diabetes, HIV
    • History of STD
    • Use of synthetic undergarments or tight clothing
  • Examine the vulva, vaginal walls, and cervix

  • Collect specimens to send to the lab
    • GC, Chlamydia, HSV, etc.
  • Prepare a wet mount
    • Diluted with normal saline on a glass slide
  • Prepare a KOH smear
    • 10% potassium hydroxide solution on a slide
