O&G Flashcards
First line surgery for women needing surgery for ectopic pregnancy and no other RFs for infertility
Salpingectomy
(Salpingotomy - option but 20% chance failing and needing more mx so if they have no factors affecting fertility of their other tube then complete removal)
First line Ix for endometrial cancer
Transvaginal US
(If abnormal then endometrial biopsy)
Women who have had a salpingostomy for ectopic pregnancy but following procedure still has discomfort and high HCG - what is the mx
Methotrexate (and/or salpingectomy)
1st line treatment primary dysmenorrhoea
NSAID - mefanamic acid
Premenstrual symptom management
Mild - lifestyle
Mod - COCP (Yasmin)
Severe - SSRI continuous or during luteal phase
Pregnant woman presents with painful vaginal bleeding, foetal heart often absent and might move less
Diagnosis?
Placental abruption (hard, woody uterus)
A 31-year-old woman complains of intermittent pain in the left iliac fossa for the past 3 months. The pain is often worse during intercourse. She also reports urinary frequency and feeling bloated. There is no dysuria or change in her menstrual bleeding
Dx
Ovarian cyst
Rfs endometrial cancer
Nulliparity, early menarche, late menopause, unopposed oestrogen (HRT not progesterone), obesity, DM, POS, tamoxifen, HNPCC
Which ovarian tumour is ass with development of endometrial hyperplasia
Granulosa cell tumours
Abnormal vaginal bleeding, discharge, pelvic pain, dyspareunia.
Possible malignancy, pathology and Tx
Cervical Cancer
Tx - Hysterectomy + LNs or if fertile then cone biopsy
HPV 16&18
Normal cytology but HPV positive:
After 12m repeat = neg =
If still + after 12m =
If +ve at 24m then =
Normal cytology - test repeated at 12m:
If now neg = normal recall
If still +ve then further repeat in 12m
If then finally neg at 24m = normal recall
But if +ve at 24m still then colposcopy
Inadequate sample from Smear - how many to colposcopy
Inadequate - repeat within 3m. If this (2 samples) inadequate then colposcopy
Inadequate sample from Smear - how many to colposcopy
Inadequate - repeat within 3m. If this (2 samples) inadequate then colposcopy
Endometrial cancer - what are the risk factors
DM, obesity, unopp oestrogen
Symptoms of ovarian cancer
bloating, early satiety, loss appetite, pelvic pain, mass
What does the risk of malignant index include in ovarian cancer
US findings, menopausal status, Ca125
Primary amenorrhoea - CAH vs AIS symptoms
primary:CAH ( increase androgens)- Female with facial hair/deep voiceAIS - F phenotype, mal genotype (testis in abdo)
Secondary amenorrhea - when to refer and the Ix results for Primary ovarian failure vs PCOS
3-6m or 6-12m (if irreg cycles).
↑FSH = primary ovarian failure
↑LH/↑LH:FSH = PCOS (dx is TV US-string of pearls)
PMS - how to diagnose and how to treat
Dx by GnRH to see if it helps. COCP- Yasmin
Stres sincontinence tx
When cough / sneeze
- Pelvic floor exercises
- Surgery/duloxetine
Urge incontinence
1.Bladder retraining
2.Oxybutynin
45-60 year old with vulval itch/skin changes
dx and mx
Lichen sclerosus
No cure
topical steroid and emollients
Heavy bleeding mx
Tranexamic acid (B), Mefanamic acid (Pain + B)
Or Mirena coil -> COCP -> cyclical progesterone
If secondary then refer gynae first
Fibroids Ix and Mx
Hysteroscopy or Pelvic US if larger
<3cm - same mx as heavy bleeding
If larger then GnRH/gynae referral
Contraception in Menopause
Post M= 12m after LMP
Contraception needed 2 years after LMP if <50 or 1Y if >50
Not the depot as >45 is weight gain and ↓BMD (osteoporosis)
HRT contraindications
current/past Breast Ca, any oestrogen sensitive Cancer, undiagnosed vaginal bleeding, untreated endometrial hyperplasia, ↑ risk stroke/VTE (oral HRT), CHD/Bca/ovarianCa
Diagnosis
Ovarian fibroma (benign), pleural effusion, ascites
Meig’s syndrome
What will a pelvic US show for ovarian torsion
Whirlpool sign
Unilateral Unilateral dull ache (intermittent/in intercourse).
If large may see abdo swelling
Ruptured - sudden onset unilateral pelvic pain precipitated by intercourse or strenuous activity
Diagnosis
Ovarian cyst
Endometriosis Tx
If not controlled by NSAIDs/COCP then GnRH analogues
surgery
When to ix infertility
Investigations/referral after 12m or 6m if >35
If semen sample is abnormal repeat in 3m
Clue cells, fishy, ph>4.5
dx/mx
BV
Metronidazole
Tx candidiasis
1st lien for non pregnant is oral fluconazole
If preg then crema or pessaries only
chlamydia ix and mx
Gram -ve
NAAT Dx
Doxycycline 100mg BD 7d (not in preg)
Gonorrhoea ix and Mx
Gram -ve diplococci
NAAT Dx

Argyll Robertson pupil (accommodates but does not react to light) in neurosyphilis
Deep IM benzathine benzylpenicillin
Can have Jarish Herxheimer reaction to tx - fever/rash/tachy after 1st dose. Needs antipyretic’s like paracetamol, no tx
