Q

A 22-year-old man presents with a two-day history of discharge from the urethral meatus, and pain on urination. When asked, he explains he has had several new sexual contacts recently. On examination, the discharge contains yellow pus and mucous. A first void urine sample is taken to test for the suspected diagnosis.

How should this most likely diagnosis be treated?

Trimethoprim
Ceftriaxone
Cirpofloxacin
Nitrofurantoin
Benzylpenicillin

A

Ceftriaxone

This patient has presented with gonorrhoea, which can be confirmed with nucleic acid amplification testing (NAAT). This requires a first void urine sample in men, or a vulvovaginal swab in women.

Q

A 37-year-old female presents to her general practitioner with complaints of a green, frothy discharge and vulval itchiness for the last five days. The patient has been in a monogamous relationship with her husband for nine years. She has no significant past medical history and takes no medications. A speculum examination shows small punctate areas of haemorrhage on the cervix. Vulvar erythema is also present.

What is the most likely diagnosis in this patient?

Trichomoniasis
Gonorrhoea
Primary syphilis
Vaginal candidiasis
Secondary syphilis

A

Trichomoniasis
This patient’s presentation is consistent with Trichomoniasis which is a sexually transmitted infection caused by Trichomonas vaginalis. Typically, this infection leads to a frothy, green discharge accompanied by pruritus, vaginitis and post-coital bleeding. Small punctate haemorrhages are also commonly seen on speculum examination (often referred to as a ‘strawberry cervix’).

35
Q

Explain life cycle of Syphilis (Treponema pallidum) [4]

A

Primary:
* single sore or multiple sores. The sore is the location where syphilis entered your body. These sores usually occur in, on, or around the penis; vagina; anus; rectum; and
lips or in the mouth
* 3 to 6 weeks and heals regardless of whether you receive treatment.

Secondary:
* Rash, fever, lymphadenopath, Condyloma latum (wart like lesions on genitals)
* This stage usually starts with a rash on one or more areas of your body. The rash can show up when your primary sore is healing or several weeks after the sore has healed. The rash can be on the palms of your hands and/or the bottoms of your feet

Latent:
* No signs or symptoms

Tertiary:
* However, when it does happen, it can affect many different organ systems. These include the heart and blood vessels, and the brain and nervous system.
* Tertiary syphilis is very serious and would occur 10–30 years after your infection began
* Can result in death

36
Q

37
Q

What are the 4 types of ovulatory causes of infertility? [4]

A

Type 1: hypothalamic
* hypothalamic amenorrhea
* anorexia nervosa (both men and women)

Type 2: pituitary:
* Hyperprolactinaemia - increase prolactin (mimics that you are breasfeeding: causes decrease in LH & FSH)

Type 3: ovarian:
* Premature ovarian failure

Type 4:
* polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)

38
Q

What scoring system is used to ID PCOS? [1]

What score need to diagnose PCOS? [1]

Name 3 things that could get a point for this system? [3]

A

Rotterdam criteria: need 2/3
* Clinical hyperandrogenism (high testosterone)
* Oligomenorrhoea (less than 6-9 menses per year)
* PCOS on ultrasound

39
Q

Explain why testosterone is raised in PCOS [3]

A

PCOS:

Initial response to LH from follicle.
At around 8cm follicle development stops: granulosa cells are lost.
Normally testosterone would be converted to oestrogen, but now doesnt: so secreted out

40
Q

Explain 5 tubal / uterine causes of infertility

A

Pelvic inflammatory disease:
* Bacterial infection spreading to vagina or cervix causes blockages / inflammation of uterine tubes OR adhesions that stick uterus to uterine tubes
* Commonly chlamdyia or gonorrhoea

Previous tubal surgery
* E.g for ectopic pregnancy

Endometriosis
* Bits of endometrium are outside of uterine cavity (e.g. on fallopian tube or bowell - will grow and develop due to oestrogen and progesterone. But when stop during in menstrual cycle: will bleed. Causes discomfort

Fibriods
* uterine smooth muscle growth and creates nodules (causing discomfort)
* stops uterus wall expanding properly when pregnant
* causes heavy periods & pain on intercourse

cervical mucus defects
* transforms into hostile environment all the time (instead of changing to hostile environment mid-cycle)

41
Q

Explain the main pathophysiology that causes repeated miscarriages? [2]

A

(lots of reasons)

Main: blood coagulation protein / platelet defects
* Defects in factor XIII and factor XII
* Having anti-cardiolpin antibodies, lupus anticoagulant or antiphospholipid syndrome

others include:

  • Anatomical anomalies - cervical incompetence
  • Genetic / chromsome abnormalities - trisomy 21 etc
  • Endocrine / hormonal abnormalities

MOST ARE TREATABLE

42
Q

How can you treat blood coagulation protein / platelet defects causing repeated miscarriages? [1]

A

Aspirin

43
Q

Name 4 reasons why male infertility may occur

A
  • less than 120 million sperm
  • Hormone imbalance (hypogonadism)
  • Anti-sperm antibodies
  • Varicocele (varicous veins of testes)
  • Sperm quality and movement
  • Undescended testis
  • Obstruction (vasectomy, cystic fibrosis)
  • Ejaculatory problems (retrograde and premature)
  • Erectile dysfunction
44
Q

Explain immunological causes of combined infertility

A

Develop antisperm antibodies (ASA): IgG, IgA and IgM

Causes a breakdown of blood testis barrier (usually blood shouldn’t come in contact with sperm) because its only haploid - is recognised as foreign so is broken down

45
Q

Explain a genetic cause of combined infertility

A

During male development SRY downfeeds to SF-1 which causes get rid of uterus when developing in men.

Mutation in gene NR5A1 that codes for SF-1 causes 46XY but with non obstructive male infertility:

Can develop female external external genitalia, uturus and uterine BUT no gonads

OR can have low testosterone and develop azoospermia

46
Q

What are 4 reasons why unexplained infertility may occur

A

Celiac disease
Thyroid imbalance
Folate deficiency
High sperm DNA damage

47
Q

What test would you use to check sperm DNA integrity? [1]

A

Sperm chromatin integrity test

48
Q

Investigating infertility with a PCOS screen - what would you assess? [5]

A
  • Day 21 progesterone - if greater than 30nmol / L indicates ovulation viable.
  • Raised LH
  • Normal / Slightly raised FSH
  • Raised testosterone
  • Abnormal glucose (because DMT2 is big risk factor)
49
Q

Investigating infertility apart from PCOS - would blood screen parameters would you investigate? [5]

A

Thyroid (TSH / TFT levels)
Vitamin D levels (increased vit D is better)
HbA1C
Viral screen - Rubella, HIV, hepatits
STI screen (undiagnosed chlamydia or gonorrheaa)

50
Q

What are secondary care investigations would conduct to assess ovulatory function?

A

Bloods from primary care
Ovarian reserve: Response to gonadotrophin stimulation in IVF
Assess tubal function: Hysterosalpingogram
Assess uterine function
Laparoscopy

51
Q

Which pathology is consequence of long term assisted reproduction techniques? [1]

A

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome: consequence of drugs used to stimulate ovarian function in IVF.

Presents similarly to PCOS as get cysts developing

52
Q

What is a potential risk for children who are born from women over 35 with IVF? [1]
