Blood test for FSH LH and Oestrogen
Normal Levels :
- FSH 5-20 IU/L.
- LH 1.5-15 IU/L. ( Follicular Phase ) Up to 75 ( Peak of Cycle )
- Estrogen < 10 pg/mL.
- Prolactin :
Non-pregnant 2-30 ng/mL
Pregnant 10-210 ng/mL
Prolactinoma it’s supposed to be over 400 and

Menopause + brown discharge—> endometrial cancer
Menopause + grey yellow purulent discharge —> infection
Menopause + painless bleeding after intercourse —> endometrial cancer Menopause + green discharge —> chalamydia
Bleeding within 1st yr of menopause —> follicular reactivation
sexually active / Menorrhagia / Dysmenorrhoegia or Fibroids not distroting the uterine cavity
Mirena IUS
If Mirena contraindicated
Assess for risk factors for OCP pills then give
If she has sickle cell anemia Then Depo will the first choice
Emergency Contraceptive Pills
Levo nelle pill 72 hr
IUD copper or ELLA ONE pill if 120hrs
Lower abdominal pain / Recent Amenorrhea / ± vaginal spotting
Antihypertensive in Pregnancy
Labetalol
If asthmatic - Nifedipine (also in post partum asthmatic )
If not suitable - Methyl dopa

Failure rates of different Contraceptive methods
Failure rates of different contraceptive methods:
A. Permanent methods: -
Vasectomy= 0.1% or 1:1000 -
Tubal ligation= 0.5% or 1:200
B. Temporary methods: -
Condom (male)= 95% effective and 5% chance of failure rate -
Condom (female)= 5% failure rate -
IUCD= 0.6% - IUS (Mirena contains levonorgestrel)= 0.1% -
POP (progesterone only pill)= 0.3%
Contraception failure rates & duration of use:
- IUS 0.1% to 0.4% (3-6 years)
- IUD 0.8% (10 years)
- Implant 0.1% (3 years)
- Injection 4% (3 months)
- COCP 7%
- POP 7%
- Patch 7% (once per week then 4th week stop for menses)
- Male condom 13%
- Female diaphragm 17-27 %
- Tubal ligation 0.5%
- Vasectomy 0.15%
Peri menopausal symptoms
With hypertension and controlled with ACEi or SMOKER = Can give HRT patch (Oestrogen transdermal no effect on thromboembolism )
But in OC pills (Oestrogen not given to Controlled hypertension )
However Patch = much less Thrombo embolism Than ORAL OESTROGEN
Treatment of Post-menopausal symptoms:
- Life-style modification.
- If there is a uterus: - Combined hormone replacement therapy (HRT). -
Another possible answer= transdermal estradiol and progesterone patches. - If no uterus (H/O hysterectomy) or if there is IUS in place: - Oestrogen only HRT. - This is because progesterone is given with oestrogen to protect the uterus against endometrial carcinoma.
- If post-menopausal woman is a smoker: - HRT is given as transdermal patch, as oral route has higher risk for venous thromboembolism.
Types of combined HRT:
A. Sequential “cyclical” combined HRT: -
Used in the first 12 months of menopause or in perimenopause “still menstruating”.
Oestrogen is taken daily while progesterone is taken cyclically for the last 14 days of a menstrual cycle.
B. Continuous combined HRT: -
Used in menopausal women who have had their last menstrual cycle 12 months ago.
Both oestrogen and progesterone are taken daily.
***Perimenopause= still menstruating but may be irregularly or heavily near the age of 50 +/- other vasomotor symptoms.
Myoma treatment
If doent want child then symptomatic
If want child and intra mural - Myomectomy (GNRH given to reduce size before operation but it inhibits ovulation )
asymptomatic … follow up
menorhagia … IUS ( if not distortion ) , NSAID ,, COCS
severe menorhagia .. ellanova surgery …
need child … myomectomy surgery ….
doesnt need child ,,, hysterectomy or endometrial ablation ( if small less 3 cm ) ##
GNRH agonist beforee surgery is indicated
Anti HTN in pregnancy: LMN –Labetalol –Methyldopa –Nifedipine
In severe preeclampsia 1- AntiHTN medication 2- Mgso4 to prevent eclampsia 3- CTG and USG to monitor the baby 4- If>34 weeks give steroids to stimulate surfactant production
deal with the cause (HTN!) before trying to prevent complications.
