________________
OR
- [Age 30-65 can PAP every 5 years if they add HPV testing] ≥ 2x consecutively before stopping after 65
________________

Clinical criteria for diagnosing PMS (PreMenstrualSyndrome) relies on PMS sx
What is the mngmt for PMS? - 5
PMS sx begin 1 week before menses (luteal phase) and resolves during week after menses (follicular phase)
1st: Sx Diary reveal PMS sx timing occured over ≥ 2 menstrual cycles
2nd: Order TSH to r/o hypOthyroidism as cause
3rd: Exercise w/NSAIDs
4th: SSRI
5th: Combined OCP if SSRI don’t work and there’s no ctd
What are the causes of Functional Hypothalamic Amenorrhea?-6
Functional hypOthalamic amenorrhea ; these pts have low FSH and therefore NO postmenopausal sx
- Excessive Exercise
- Very low calorie diet/starvation
- low BMI/Anorexia/Wt loss
- Stress
- Depression
- Chronic illness
; Osteoporosis from lack of estrogen
note: these pts will NOT have normal mentrual cycles

Differentiate the following spontaneous abortions:
Inevitable abortion
Threatened abortion
Missed abortion
Complete abortion
spontaneous abortion = occurs < 20 WG
- INEVITABLE = vaginal bleeding < 20 WG with cervical os dilated –>abortion will inevitably happen soon
- THREATENED = early vaginal bleeding < 20 WG with cervical os closed is clearly a threat to a STILL LIVING FETUS
- MISSED = Fetal death with cervical os closed…which is why we Missed it - (pt will have pregnancy sx that just suddenly disappear out of nowhere)
- COMPLETE = ALL PRODUCTS OF CONCEPTION COMPLETELY EXPEL AND THEN CERVIX CLOSES BACK UP
spontaneous = occurs < 20 WG
What are the options for Mngmt of Spontaneous Abortion - 4
- Expectant: Watchful Waiting for products of conception to expel naturally in 2-6 weeks
- Surgical: [Dilitation & Curettage (D&C) (cant be done during infection)] or [Manual Vacuum Aspiration]
- Medical: 800mcg Vaginal Misoprostol - takes up to 2 weeks for expel
ALL REQUIRE 1 WEEK FOLLOW UP
