GYNO NAGY FAVE Flashcards
➔ Etiology of cervical cancer:
◆ HPV 16, 18
➔ Hydatidiform mole, which lab?
◆ b-Hcg (highly increased in molar pregnancy)
➔ How do you treat vulvar benign lesions?
◆ Surgical excision
➔ In uterine prolapse, what type of surgery?
◆ Vaginal hysterectomy
➔ Pediatric gynecology, most common complaints?
◆ Infection, amenorrhea, precocious or delayed puberty
➔ Most common causes of infertility?
◆ Male: sperm disorders, erectile dysfunction
◆ Female: anatomical (PID, Asherman syndrome, endometriosis), ovulatory
dysfunction, abnormal cervical mucus
➔ Inflammatory disorders of vulva and vagina - most common vaginal infections?
◆ Bacterial vaginosis (Gardnerella, mycoplasma), trichomonas, candida
➔ Staging of ovarian cancer?
◆ Only high-risk group: US and CA-125
◆ Staging:
● I: confined to ovaries or FTs
● II: ovaries + pelvis or peritoneal involvement
● III: ovaries + spread to peritoneum outside the pelvis and/or mets to
retroperitoneal LNs
● IV: distant mets - liver, lung, pleural fluid
➔ Urinary incontinence types?
◆ stress, urge, overflow, neurogenic
➔ Gynecology operation techniques - conization?
◆ Cone-shaped portion of the cervix removed. Using scalpel, laser or
electrosurgical techniques. Can be diagnostic (HSIL) or therapeutic (CIN2+3
➔ Primary Amenorrhea- when do we begin evaluation?
◆ I said the ages in the notes (age 16 or 2 years after onset of puberty OR age 14 if
no puberty)
◆ but he did say nowadays people wait till 18. Mention both. He accepted my
answer as correct
➔ At which stage of cervical cancer can you see with the naked eye
IB
PUBERTY
◆ Tanner stages I-V.
◆ I didn’t say them exactly, just described how its based on breast development,
pubic hair growth, there was no need to be precise
➔ Types of Uterine Fibroids
◆ intramural, subserosal, submucosal, and don’t forget broad ligamental
fibroids!!
➔ Breast cancer- what is a radical mastectomy
◆ entire breast removed + axillary lymph node dissection
➔ Syphilis, how to treat:
◆ penicillin G 2,4 mill units
➔ Benign lesions of vulva - Mention some
◆ Lichen sclerosus (post-menopausal), Lichen Simplex Chronicus. He just moved
on before I could mention more.
➔ Screening of endometrial cancer - Who would you screen and how?
◆ High risk women with long term estrogen exposure (PCOS, HRT, family history).
◆ Do an transvaginal US and examine the endometrial wall thickness (should not
be more than 8 mm in total)
➔ How would you screen for ovarian cancer?
◆ High risk women - Measure of serum CA-125 + US examination of ovaries.
➔ What is enterocele?
◆ Part of the small intestine protrudes into vagina, due to wall weakness.
➔ Ectopic pregnancy - He gave a case: If you have a woman with absence of menses for 7
weeks and you examine the uterus and there is no intrauterine pregnancy. How would
you diagnose?
◆ Measure beta-hCG, if elevated, but not doubling every 2nd day - indicate ectopic
pregnancy. Next step will be to do a laparoscopy
➔ In the end he asked an extra question (he didn’t expect an answer to it, but wanted to
ask it to test me): Genital development (not a topic for this year) - What is the equivalent
of the prostate in a female?
◆ Prostate consists of glands and smooth m. It is equivalent to the upper ⅓ of
vagina.
➔ Common STDs?
◆ Chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, genital herpes (HSV-2), genital warts (HPV)
➔ How often do you screen for infections?
IDFK=i dont fuckinknow
➔ What changes are seen in Puberty?
◆ accelerated growth (growth spurt)
◆ development of secondary sexual characteristics, axillary hair growth
◆ + I mentioned Tanner stages and briefly described them: pubic hair growth,
breast development
➔ Types of Endometrial Hyperplasia?
◆ Simple typical - increase in glands but normal glandular architecture
◆ Complex typical - crowded irregular glands
◆ Simple atypical - simple hyperplasia with presence of atypical cells
◆ Complex atypical - complex hyperplasia with presence of atypical cells. Highest
malignant potential (30%)
➔ What are the stages + At what stage is Cervical cancer observable?
◆ I: confined to cervix
● IA: microscopically visible (Tx: TAH)
● IB: macroscopically visible (Tx: TAH + pelvic LND)
◆ II: invades beyond uterus, to upper vagina (Tx: TAH + pelvic LND) and
perimetrium, but not beyond pelvic wall
◆ III: invades pelvic wall or lower ⅓ of vagina
◆ IV: invades bladder/rectum or distant mets (Tx: palliative chemo, RT, surgery)
➔ 40 yo woman with dysmenorrhea. Test?
◆ D&C
➔ Dysfunctional uterine bleeding in a 42 year old woman, what to do
◆ D&C
➔ Normal causes of secondary amenorrhea
◆ pregnancy, menopause, lactation
➔ How to differentiate malignant from benign ovarian cysts
◆ MRI, US, CA-125, biopsy
➔ Functional ovarian cyst: what does it look like
◆ unilateral, uniloculated, simple cell inside, no papillary protrusion into cyst
◆ Types: follicular, corpus luteum cyst, theca-lutein cyst
➔ Ectopic preg: treatment
◆ Laparoscopy - Salpingostomy, salpingectomy
➔ Causes of secondary amenorrhea
◆ Pregnancy, menopause, lactation, hyperthyroidism, drugs
antidopaminergic), pituitary tumors (prolactinoma
➔ Secondary amenorrhea - what is the progestin test?
◆ Give progestin and then withdraw it. If there is withdrawal bleeding then the
diagnosis is PCOS/anovulation. If there is no bleeding, further diagnostic tests
should be done
➔ Choriocarcinoma follow up
◆ b-hCG
➔ Symptoms of genital herpes
◆ Vesicles on genitals, with pain, pruritus, discharge, dysuria. Sometimes systemic
symptoms - fever, malaise, lymphadenopathy
