Simple breast cyst Indistinguishable from fibroadenoma (more likely if patient is adolescent) on physical exam FNA diagnoses and resolves the cyst
47
Most common cause of vaginal bleeding in neonatal period
Maternal withdrawal of estrogen Pregnancy is like the follicular phase of menstruation Estrogen crosses placenta and builds fetal endometrial lining Following delivery, neonate's endometrium sloughs Typically within first 2 weeks of life, may last days Temporary breast buds & external genitalia engorgement may occur too. Brief. Physiologic. Normal.

Aromatase deficiency Transient masculinization of mother that resolves after delivery. Female infant has normal internal genitalia nad ambiguous external genitalia due to high levels of gestational androgen Adolescence shows delayed puberty, osteoporosis, undetectable estrogen (so no breasts)
62
At what level of Beta-hCG should an IUP be detectable on TVUS?
1500 - 2000 If beta-hCG is lower and no IUP is seen, re-measure hCG again in 2 days, repeating TVUS once beta-hCG is within range.
63
Risk factors of breast cancer
1 in 8 women have a lifetime risk in the USA ``` Increases with increased lifetime estrogen exposure: Chronological age Nulliparity Obesity Prolonged HRT ```
64
What is the role of hCG in normal pregnancy?
Secreted by syncytiotrophoblast Preserves corpus luteum during early pregnancy to maintain progesterone secretion until placenta can take over. Production of hCG begins ~8d after fetilization Levels double every 48 hours until they peak at 6 - 8 weeks gestation Alpha-subunit is common to hCG, TSH, LH & FSH
65
How do you treat vesicovaginal fistula?
Catherization in the immediate postop period Surgical correction if you miss that window
66
All patients with HSIL (regardless of if they are pregnant or not, regardless of HPV status) should be evaluated how?

79
AUB that normally follows menarche
Initial menstrual cycles are irregular and anovulatory Due to immaturity of developing HPA Inadequate quantities & proportions of GnRH Leads to inadequate release of LH & FSH Ovulation skips a cycle & menstruation lacks its regular periodicity. Between cycles, you get breakthrough bleeding because the endometrium built up too much.
80
Initial workup for AUB
Administer exogenous progesterone If bleeding ensues, we can exclude primary ovarian insufficiency, endometrial abnormalities (like adhesions) & outlet tract abnormalities (like imperforate hymen).
81
Treatment of AUB in adolescents early in their development
If bleeding is disruptive, heavy or leads to anemia: Progestin-only or Estrogen/Progestin OCPs Anovulation resolves 1 - 4 years postmenarche
82

Mammography Ultrasound can provide added characterization of it Tissue biopsy is required to confirm
85
Progesterone's normal role in menstrual cycle
Stabilizes endometrial proliferation Causes differentiation into secretory endometrium Cyclic withdrawal of progesterone causes menstruation
86
First line treatment of PCOS to restore menstruation in obese patients
Weight Loss decreases peripheral estrogen conversion If unsuccessful, Clomiphene Citrate is second line
87
Clomiphene Citrate
SERM Blocks estrogen receptors at hypothalamus Inhibits negative feedback of pulsatile GnRH secretion Normalizes LH & FSH levels Creates an LH Surge Restores ovulatory cycle, even in the presence of excess estrogen

Vulvar Squamous Cell Carcinoma
108
Treatment of Lichen Sclerosus
High potency topical corticosteroids Clobetasol is ultrapotent & first-line It is not known whether corticosteroids can prevent scarring and squamous cell carcinoma If you apply more than once daily, you increase adverse effects, including skin atrophy, discoloration, striae
109
Fixed Mass Skin or Nipple retraction Calcification on mammography Ultrasonography demonstrates hyperechoic mass Biopsy shows fat globules & foamy histiocytes
Fat necrosis Often mass is excised due to concerning findings of calcifications on mammography in constellation with fixed irregular mass on physical exam After excision, routine annual screening for breast cancer may resume normally.
110

111
Treatment of symptomatic bartholin cyst

114
Vaginal pain on insertion No dysmenorrhea No dyschezia
Vaginismus (involuntary contraction of vaginal musculature interfering with sexual intercourse) Try vaginal dilators
115
Pathophys of Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism
Excessive stress, weight loss or chronic illness leads to decrease in amplitude & frequency of GnRH pulses. Pituitary LH & FSH production decreases Ovarian estrogen production decreases Ovulation doesn't occur Oligomenorrhea/amenorrhea & infertility ensue Physical exam is typically normal (maybe low BMI)
116
Treatment of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism

124
Why do we wait until after puberty to remove cryptorchid gonads from patients with Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome?

Age 65 or Hysterectomy PLUS No history of CIN2 or higher AND 3 consecutive negative Pap tests OR 2 consecutive co-testing results
153
What malignancy are PCOS patients most likely to develop?
Endometrial Chronic anovulatory cycles lead to decreased progesterone secretion (no corpus luteum), and overproliferation of endometrium Treat with cyclic progesterone, combined OCPs or progesterone IUD to reduce cancer risk
154
What syndrome are adrenocortical malignancies associated with?
Li-Fraumeni
155
Malodorous, thin white vaginal discharge | In absence of inflammation
Bacterial Vaginosis Amine odor on KOH whiff test Clue Cells on microscopy Treat with metronidazole or clinda
156
What causes anovulation in PCOS?
High estrone (increased peripheral conversion & decreased sex hormone binding globulin) provides negative feedback to the hypothalamus, so GnRH is not released. FSH is low, so follicle doesn't mature LH is low, so follicle doesn't release
157
Gonadotropin levels in Primary Ovarian Insufficiency
GnRH is elevated FSH is elevated Estrogen is low Failure is at the level of the ovaries, so the rest of the pathway is trying to rev them up.
158
Origin site of Epithelial Ovarian Carcinoma
Ovary Fallopian Tube Peritoneum Can start with any of these! Metastasizes all over abdomen regardless of primary origin.
159
Definition of preeclampsia
