  • loss of ovarian follicles –> loss of what hormone secretion
A

Definition of Menopause

  • age 45-55 and 12+ consecutive months w/out a period
  • loss of ovarian follicles –> decr/loss of estrogen secretion
75
Q

Pathophys of Menopause

Loss ovarian follicles –> loss of estrogen secretion –> has what effect on levels of FSH and LH

A

Pathophys of Menopause

Loss ovarian follicles –> loss of estrogen secretion –> INCR levels of FSH and LH

76
Q

Dx Menopause

  1. What Lab value = best for Dx
  2. Pelvic US –> thickness of endometrium and size of ovaries and uterus
A

Dx Menopause

  1. best lab test = incr FSH
  2. Pelvic US:
    - decr thickness of endometrium
    - Small/atrophied ovaries and uterus
77
Q

52 y/o pt presents w/ hot flashes, vaginal dryness/pruritus, urinary urgency/freq/incontinence, wt gain, bloating, loss of elasticity of skin. Pt states its been 13 months since she had her last period.

What would you expected labs to show?
Dx?

A

Labs –> incr FSH and decr estradiol

Dx = Menopause

78
Q

Effects of Menopause

  1. Main Sxs a/w Vasomotor System b/c estrogen = thermoregulator
  2. 2 Sxs a/w urogenital System
  3. 1 condition at incr risk of d/t decr estrogen –> decr BMD
  4. 2 CVD conditions at risk for
  5. Sx a/w Nervous System
A

Effects of Menopause

  1. Vasomotor instability = a/w Vasomotor System (estrogen = thermoregulator)
  2. recurrent UTIs + vaginal atrophy= a/w urogenital System
  3. incr risk of osteoporosis d/t decr estrogen/BMD
  4. 2 CVD conditions at risk for = DVTs + heart attack
  5. decr cognition = a/w Nervous System
79
Q

Menopause: Tx for hot flashes

name 3 classes of meds used for hot flashes

A

Menopause: Tx for hot flashes

  1. HRT (estrogen or combo)
  2. SERMs (NOT Raloxifene)
  3. SSRIs/SNRIs
80
Q

Menopause: Tx for Osteoporosis

  • name 3 classes of meds used for it
  • other 2 things used (not drugs)
A

Menopause: Tx for Osteoporosis

  1. HRT
  2. SERMs
  3. Bisphosphonates (-ate)

Others = Ca + Vit D

81
Q

Menopause Tx:

one class used to Tx Vulvovaginal Atrophy

A

Menopause: Vulvovaginal Atrophy Tx = SERMs

82
Q

Risks a/w HRT: Estrogen alone vs E+P together

  1. incr risk of CAD
  2. incr risk of BCA
  3. incr risk of DVT/PE/stroke
  4. incr risk of osteoporosis
  5. incr risk of colorectal CA (> 50 y/o)
  6. incr risk of endometrial CA
A

Risks a/w HRT: Estrogen alone vs E+P together

  1. incr risk of CAD = E+P
  2. incr risk of BCA = E+P
  3. incr risk of DVT/PE/stroke = BOTH
  4. incr risk of osteoporosis = neither
  5. incr risk of colorectal CA (> 50 y/o) = Estrogen alone
  6. incr risk of endometrial CA = Estrogen alone
