ob/gyn Flashcards

1
Q

follicular phase

A

1-14 days- endometrium thickens under influence of estogren- in the ovaries- dominant follicle matures leading to ovlulation

Q

luteal phase

A

after ovulation, ruptured follicle becomes corpus luteum- segretes progesterone and some estrogen- progesterone enhances lining of the uterus- prepares it for implantation- no implantation- corpus luteum degerenates- STEEP DECREAse iN ESTROgen and progesterone- this leads to MENSTRUATION

Q

menstrual cycle

A

FSH - egg mature
LH: mature follice to produce estrogen
LH in charge of all hormones

estrogen negative feedback- stops LH AND FSH if too much estrogen- inhibits the GRH so that less LH And FSH

then positve feed back switch from estrogen= then the surge

ovluation : due to increase in LH SURGE: leads to egg release: day 12-14

Q

management of DUB

A

high dose IV estrogens on high dose OCP
anovulatory DUB: OCP- first line- decreases endometrial cancer!! by reducing ounopposed estrogen
progesterone: if estrogen is contraindicated

primary amenorrhea

A

failure of menarch onset- by age 15y (With sex characteristics )or 13y (no 2ndry sex characteristics)

breast and uterus present: utflow obstruction
uterus absent but breast preasnt: muellerian agenesis, androgen insens
breast absent and uterus present: ELEVATED FSH AND LH is ovarian cause (means HPA is working)- turner’s (45 x)premature ovarian failure

Q

secondary amenorrhea!!

A

absense of menses formore than 3 months in a patient with previously normal menstruation or more than 6 months for someone who was previously oligo

preg: MOST COMMON CAUSE OF SECONDARY AMENORRHEA!!!
hypothalamus: decreased fsh and lh because problems with GNRH: anoreia, exercise, stress, nutrtitional deficiency, celiac, hypothalamic disorders

pitutitary dysfunction: prolactin secreting pitutary adenoma- prolactin inhibits GNRH!!!- less FSH, LH, increased prolactin

ovarian dysfunction: pcos: premature ovarian failure, turner’s- - lack of estrogen- they have symptoms of menopause: DUE TO ESTROGEN DEFICIENCY11! - hot flash, sleep problems, dry thin skin, vaginal dryness
increased FSH AND LH, decreased estradiol- means ovarian problem

prosterone challenge: given them progesterone and if they bleed- its ovarian–no ovulation and there is enough estrogen present
NO BLEEd; hypoestrogenic (HPA failure to release estrogen) OR uterine outflow issue cuz of outflow tract block or hpa failure

Q

menopause

A

ovarian failure for more than 1 year no menses- average is 50-52
premature menopause- before 40
estrogen deficiency- hot flash, osteoporosis, skin/nail/hair changes, increased cardiovasc events, hyperlipedieia, vaginal atroph, atrophic vaginitis (ellow discharge)
INCREASED FSH!, increased LH but no estrogen!!! - no more ovarian follicles!!

management: estrogen cream, calicum, vitamin d, bisphosphonates, SERM (tamoxifen, raloxfine)
HRT!!: estrogen only or - risk of endo cancer but not breast cancer, because of the estrogen- often used for people with no uterus!!, CVA, DVT< PE!!

* Rupture of membranes during pregnancy before 37 weeks gestation and before the onset of labor * 3% of pregnancies; responsible for 1/3 of preterm deliveries * Complications: umbilical cord prolapse, respiratory distress syndrome, neonatal sepsis, placental abruption, fetal death * Evaluation: * Speculum exam (no digital cervical exam) pooling of fluid, nitrazine paper, ferning * Observation of fluid leakage from cervical os with valsalva * Treatment: Antibiotics, Corticosteroids, Short-term tocolysis, Delivery
72
premature labor
before 36 weeks gestation antenatal steroids!!!- MOST IMPORTANT- to mature the lungs of baby tocolytics: indometacin, nifedipine, mag sulfate, beta agonists- TERUtaline!!- given for 48 hours to delay delivery so that steroids can take full effecT!!! abx: group B strep- ampicillin and amoxicillin and azithro
73
induction
prostagland gle for early induction later induction: after some cervix dilationiv oxytocin amniotomy!
74
early deceleration
due to head compression | variable: due to cord compression
75
danazol
for someone with fibrocystic breast disease and endometriosis Danazol is both a weak progestin and androgen which helps to inhibit ovarian function. It is indicated in both the treatment of endometriosis as well as mastalgias secondary to fibrocystic disease and represents the best drug of choice for this patient.
76
what test should you order for someone with molar pregnancy after you see the clusters on the ultrasound
Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia may range from a simple molar pregnancy to metastatic choriocarcinoma. These conditions are generally associated with first trimester bleeding and hyperemesis gravidarum. Physical exam usually shows an abnormally large uterus, abdominal tenderness, and pelvic exam may reveal abnormalities. Choriocarcinoma may become metastatic, with a high affinity for lung metastasis; therefore, CXR is an essential imaging study to order in these patients.
77
adnexal mass more than 5 cm
can cause torsion!
