Contraindications for a copper IUD
Suspected pregnancy, menorrhagia, or dysmenorrhea
lower abdominal pain, nausea, cervical motion tenderness, and an adnexal mass on pelvic ultrasound
PID complication: Tuboovarian abscess (TOA)
Both of these conditions are associated with nausea, right lower quadrant pain, guarding, and a mass on ultrasound
appendicitis and TOA
The success rate of methotrexate therapy for ectopic pregnancy is higher for patients with?
An adnexal mass < 3.5 cm on transvaginal ultrasound and a β-hCG ≤ 5000 mIU/mL
First line tx for PID
Intravenous cefoxitin (NOT Oral)
What is the diagnosis for a well-demarcated, hypoechoic solid mass with smooth and clear margins in a post-menopausal woman experiencing abnormal uterine bleeding, endometrial hyperplasia (i.e symptoms of estrogen excess).
Ovarian thecoma
____ presents as a simple ovarian cyst with diffusely thick walls that have increased vascularity (“ring of fire” sign) and sometimes intracystic hemorrhage
A corpus luteum cyst
Often diagnosed incidentally on physical examination and pelvic ultrasonography.
Combined OCPs inhibit the development of corpus luteum cysts by suppressing ovulation
An ultrasound of the breast as the definitive diagnostic imaging of the breast is recommended in?
Women < 30y/o
What is the definitive diagnostic imaging in women > 30 y/o
B/L mammography
Contraindications to HRT include
a personal history of coronary heart disease,
venous thromboembolism,
stroke, and e
strogen-sensitive cancer (e.g., endometrial or breast cancer).
Warfarin intake during pregnancy is associated with
intrauterine growth restriction, bone deformities (e.g., nasal hypoplasia), ophthalmic abnormalities, and cerebral hemorrhage
Isotretinoin intake during pregnancy is associated with __
congenital malformations, such as cardiac abnormalities and facial cleft
Carbamazepine intake during pregnancy can cause
maternal folate deficiency, which is associated with intrauterine growth restriction, microcephaly, fingernail hypoplasia, and neural tube defects (e.g., spina bifida)
Most common fetal cause for spontaneous abortions, particularly in the 1st and early 2nd trimester?
chromosomal abnormalities
Painless vaginal bleeding in the third trimester
Placenta previa
In a pregnant patient (<20 weeks) with vaginal bleeding and absent fetal cardiac activity (both of which are consistent with an inevitable abortion) and a history of recurrent joint pain, anemia, thrombocytopenia, increased PTT (range: 25-40), and elevated creatinine (range 0.6 - 1.2). What is the most likely explanation for these physical examination findings?
This suggests placental thrombosis due to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS)
This patient’s examination findings are most likely caused by APS secondary to SLE. Patients with APS form procoagulant antibodies (anticardiolipin, anti-β2-glycoprotein 1, and lupus anticoagulant antibodies) that can lead to placental thrombosis and consequent miscarriage. To establish the diagnosis of APS, serology for antiphospholipid antibodies should be performed.
List the recommended interventions in sexual assault with penetration and when you should administer them.
Many patients who have experienced sexual assault do not return for a follow-up visit, all recommended interventions should be given at their initial presentation.
Empiric antibiotic therapy with ceftriaxone, doxycycline, and metronidazole is indicated for sexually transmitted infection prophylaxis against gonorrhea, chlamydia, and trichomonas in all adults (trichomoniasis prophylaxis only in women) who have experienced a sexual assault.
Other recommended interventions at the initial presentation include emergency contraception, HIV postexposure prophylaxis (a three-drug regimen of tenofovir, emtricitabine, and an integrase inhibitor (e.g., raltegravir, dolutegravir), and hepatitis B postexposure prophylaxis
