Main vaginal infections
Bacerial vaginosis
Trichomonas
Mycosis (candida)
Condyloma
Gestational diabetes
Screen everyone at 24-28 weeks
Fasting glucose <5.6 mmol/L –> healthy
Fasting glucose 5.6 - 7.0 –> Do OGTT
Fasting glucose > 7.0 mmol/L on two separate measurements –» DM
OGTT
75 grams of glucose (fasting)
0 min: <7.0 mmol/L
120 min: < 7.8 mmol/L
If < 7.8 mmol/L –> impaired fasting glucose (IFG)
If 7.8 - 11.1 mmol/L Impaired glucose tolerance
If > 11.1 mmol/L –> DM
US in pregnancy

IV (36-38):
- Fetal presentation
- Fetal weight
- Info for delivery
Placenta abruptio/placenta previa
Palpate uterus with hands.
Abruptio: Painfull, hard uterus –> C-cection
Previa: Painless, CTG normal
Post-partum hemorrhage
4T’s
Tissue, Trauma, Thrombin, Tone
Pearl Index
No of pregnancies in 100 females/year with chosen contraceptive.
OCP: 0.1 - 2.5
Post-coital pill: 0.5 - 2.5
IUD: 0.5 - 5
Condom: 3 - 28
Sterilization: 0.3 - 6
Routine exams
Colposcopy (using telescope to look at cervix)
Cytology
Bimanual exam
Breast exam
Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser Syndrome
Müllarian agenesis
- congenital malformation
- Failure of Müllerian duct to develop
- Missing uterus, cervix, vagina
- Variable degree of upper vaginal hypoplasia
- Causes 15% of primary amenorrhea
- Ovaries intact, ovulation usually occurs
- Will enter puberty and have secondary sexual characteristics
Pap smear
P0: improper sample
P1: Negative, superficial cells on slide
P2: Superficial cells and WBC’s
P3: Unsure
P4: Atypical cells –> Suspect malignancy
P5: True malignancy
Obstetrics statistics
Neonatal mortality rate:
No. of neonatal deaths during 1st month/1.000 live births
- Early NMR: 1st week
- Late NMR: 2-4th weeks
Perinatal mortality rate
No. of perinatal deathts/1.000 TOTAL birhts
(22w - 7th week postpartum)
To exclude ectopic pregnancy
Measure beta-hCG
- 1.000 U/L –> Gestational sac
- 7.000 U/L –> Yolk sac
- 10.000 U/L –> Embryo
Brown spotting & abdominal pain indicates ectopic pregnancy
–> check fallopian tubes
beta-hCG doubles every 2nd day. If high but doesn’t double –> Ectopic
Endometriosis
Endometrial-like tissue outside uterine cavity
Dx: Laparoscopic visualization (Gold standard)
Tx: Surgery
Drugs: Pseudopregnancy (leuprolide?)
Pseudomenopause –> GnRH analogue
Urinary incontinence
Irritative: Urinanalysis –> Cystitis/tumor/foreign body
Stress: Loss of bladder suppord –> cough
Urge: Hypertonic –> Increased detrusor activity
Tx: Anticholinergics
Overflow/neurogenic: Hypotonic w/dribbles
Tx: Cholinergics
