Q

Overflow incontinence is characterized by?

A

failure to empty the bladder adequately
due to an underactive detrusor muscle (neurologic disorders, diabetes or multiple sclerosis) or obstruction (postoperative or severe prolapse).

n elevated PVR, usually >300 cc, is found in overflow incontinence.

Q

Stress incontinence occurs when the bladder pressure is greater than the intraurethral pressure.

A

Genuine stress incontinence (GSI) is the loss of urine due to increased intra-abdominal pressure in the absence of a detrusor contraction.

The majority of GSI is due to urethral hypermobility (straining Q-tip angle >30 degrees from horizon).

Q

Sling procedure

A

Q

Urethral hypermobility is ?

A

Stress urinary incontinence
like stepping on a hose in sand

-insufficient support of the pelvic floor musculature and vaginal connective tissue to the urethra and bladder neck
- causes the urethra and bladder neck to lose the ability to completely close against the anterior vaginal wall.
-with increases in intra-abdominal pressure
the muscular tube of the urethra fails to close, leading to incontinence

Q

Intrinsic sphincteric deficiency (ISD) is ?

A
  • stress urinary incontinence (SUI)
  • loss of urethral tone that normally keeps the urethra closed
  • severe urinary leakage even with minimal increases in abdominal pressure.
  • can be +/- urethral hypermobility

Q

Urgency incontinence is?

Q

Vaginal atrophy and loss of urine

A

low estrogen levels –> atrophy of the urethral mucosal epithelium.
Atrophy results in urethritis, diminished urethral mucosal seal, loss of compliance, and possible irritation, all of which can contribute to incontinence

supporting the vaginal cuff to the uterosacral or sacrospinous ligaments, or by sacrocolpopexy.

24
Q

A 
Asian women in the United States 
under 20 yo 
over 40 yo 
women with two or more miscarriages.
Hx of molar (2%)
26
Q

________ s/s is universal in molar pregnancies.

A

Vaginal bleeding

27
Q

Findings of findings of an enlarged uterus and vaginal bleeding, a Beta-hCG value >1,000,000 mIU/mL are ddx for?

A

molar prego

28
Q

In the face of discrepancy between dates and uterine size, a pelvic ultrasound is indicated for?

A

to confirm dates, exclude multiple gestation, uterine abnormalities, and molar pregnancy.

29
Q

With a Beta-hCG above the __________ an IUP should be easily identified on transvaginal ultrasound.

A

discriminatory zone (>1500 mIU)

30
Q

If an IUP is not seen, the ultrasound findings (in conjunction with the Beta-hCG level) should identify a?

A

mole (multiple internal echoes) or an ectopic (absence of intra-uterine gestation).

31
Q

__________ is the standard management for molar pregnancies.

A

Suction curettage

methotrexate is post- GTD may help

32
Q

Tissue diagnosis is the standard in establishing a diagnosis of almost all malignancies, with the exception of _______________

A

choriocarcinoma.

33
Q

A

+ Beta-hCG in a reproductive-aged woman

Hx of recent pregnancy .

34
Q

_____________ is the most common vulvar malignancy and may arise in the setting of chronic irritation from lichen sclerosus.

local superficial excision

radical surgery if it carcinoma (which is not VIN3, just almost)

40
Q

Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) treats?

A

genital warts

41
Q

Paget’s is an in situ carcinoma of the vulva is acs w/ ?

A

is a adenocarcinoma

association with breast cancer is significant, but not as high as Paget’s disease of the nipple.

42
Q

Paget’s looks like?

A

vulva is fiery red mottled background with whitish hyperkeratotic areas

43
Q

Recommends that management options for ASCUS

A

include performing HPV DNA testing or repeat cytology at 12 months following the abnormal Pap test result.

44
Q

ASCUS w/ + HPV

A

If HPV is positive, or if repeat cytology at 12 months reveals ASCUS or higher, then colposcopy should be performed

45
Q

ASCUS w/ - HPV

A

If the HPV testing is negative then routine screening can be resumed at three years.

46
Q

________ is an area of columnar epithelium that has not yet undergone squamous metaplasia.

A

Ectropion

It appears as a reddish ring of tissue surrounding the external os.

47
Q

________ can represent dysplasia but, in most cases, is less concerning than the above vascular changes like ____________

A

Acetowhite epithelium is dysplasia

atypical vessels and Punctations and mosaicism represent new blood vessels are more dangerous

48
Q

Cervical conization refers to?

A

an excision of a cone-shaped sample of tissue from the mucous membrane of the cervix.

49
Q

Carcinoma in situ vs Microinvasive cervical cancer

A

In microinvasive cancer, they invade less than 3 mm

Carcinoma in situ (CIS) represents abnormal cells involving the entire epithelium to the basement membrane.

50
Q

Cervical conization is indicated in this patient who has a positive

A

endocervical curettage

Cryotherapy will not provide a pathologic specimen to rule out invasive cancer, but can be used to treat cervical dysplasia once cancer has been completely ruled out and the entire lesion can be visualized.

51
Q

Cryotherapy will not provide a pathologic specimen to rule out invasive cancer, but can be used to treat cervical dysplasia once _______________

A

cancer has been completely ruled out and the entire lesion can be visualized.
