OB uworld Flashcards
How does obesity lead to increased estrogen
Adipose tissue converts androgens into estrogens
Is breast cancer associated with ovarian or endometrial cancer or both
Breast and ovarian cancer associated (BRCA), not endometrial
Which female hormone increases risk and which decreases risk of endometrial cancer
Estrogen increases risk - proliferation
Progesterone decreases risk - differentiation
How does breast feeding cause contraception
Prolactin inhibitd GnRH release, so prevents FSH LH ovulation and menstruation
What cancer drug causes endometrial huperproliferation and increased risk of endometrial cancer
Tamoxifen
Asherman syndrome
Etiology
Symptoms
Intrauterine adhesions eg from prior endometrial curettage
Amenorrhea and cyclic pelvic pain from obstruction of endometrial outflow
When postpartum do b-hCG levels become undetectable
2-4 weeks postpartum
Oral or intravaginal fluconazole for vaginal candidiasis?
Either works, oral usually preferred first line by patients, just easier
Define adenomyosis
Endometrium growing in the myometrium
Symptoms pf bicornuate uterus
Usually asymptomatic, discovered incidentally during unrelated surgery
May cause pregnancy complications – IUGR or preterm delivery
Treat PMS/PMDD in pt w migraines with aura
SSRI
OCPs contraindicated in migraines with aura
What phase of the menstrual cycle should symptoms arise in symptom diary to be consistent with PMS/PMDD
Luteal phase (1-2 weeks prior to menstruation, the phase when LH amd Progesterone are higher after ovulation)
Menopause is characterized by elevation in what hormone
FSH
TF
BMI of 20 rules out functional hypothalamic amenorrhea as a cause of amenorrhea in a competitive athlete
False
RELATIVE caloric deficiency causes decreased GnRH and decreased FSH LH E P and sc such as breast atrophy, infertility, vaginal atrophy, osteoporosis – all the manifestations of estrogen deficiency
Mechanism of functional hypothalamic amenorrhea in a competitive athlete
RELATIVE caloric deficiency causes decreased GnRH and decreased FSH LH E P and sx such as breast atrophy, infertility, vaginal atrophy, osteoporosis – all the manifestations of estrogen deficiency
Symptoms of androgenic steroid use in a female athlete
Virilization (male baldness, deep voice, big clit)
Hypertension
Aggressive behavior / Mood Disorders
Pathophys of HELLP Syndrome
Abnormal placentation causing systemic inflammation and activation of the complement and coagulation cascades
MAHA microangiopathoc hemolytic anemia hurts the liverin particular
Prolonged PT and PTT Hypoglycemia Encephalopathy In 3rd trimester or early postpartum Think...
Acute fatty liver of pregnancy – acute hepatic failure in 3rd trimester or early postpartum
Treat HELLP syndrome
Antihypertensive med and/or mag for seizure prophylaxis
Then deliver baby when mom stabilized
When to consider transfusion for HELLP Syndrome
Preop before cesarean if plt v40,000/mm^3
Prophylactically if plt v 20,000/mm^3
Otherwise delivery of baby spontaneously resolves HELLP
so standard tx is Antihypertensive med and/or Mag for seizure prophylaxis, then Deliver baby when mom stabilized
Bartholin duct cyst
Typical age
Pathophys
Common v30yo
Duct obstruction by dried mucoid glandular secretions, trauma, or idiopathic
Condyloma accuminata
Derm description
Pathogen
Exophytoc or sessile vulvar growths that may be solitary or multiple
HPV 6 and 11
Gartner duct cysts
Number, Location
Pathophys
Single or multiple submucosal along upper anterior vagina
Incomplete regression of Wolffian duct during development
Most common symptom of vulvar swuamous cell carcinoma
Pruritus, long-standing vulvar pruritus
Treat bartholin cyst
Observation if asymptomatic.. may regress spontaneously
I and D if symptomatic or abscess, can place Word catheter to prevent recurrence
How do renal function and renal bmp labs change during pregnancy
inc RBF and GFR and protein excretion
so dec BUN and Cr
TF
Cr 1.2 mg/dl is normal in pregnancy
F
Normal in non-pregnant
Renal insufficiency in pregnant (GFR should ^^)
Mechanism of hypercoagulability in pregnancy
Dec protein S
Protein C resistance
Inc fibrinogen
TF
Urine dipstick +1 for protein is normal in pregnancy
T
HPV testing is recommended when _____ is identified on pap
HPV testing is recommended when ASCUS is identified on pap
Cerical cancer screening guidelines
v21 pap only if immunocompromised
21-30 pap q3
30-65 pap + hpv testing q5, or pap q3
65+ stop screening if prior screens negative for 10 years and most recent within 5 years
TF
Oophorectomy for an ovarian teratoma
F
Just cystectomy usually – young girls, benign mass, high risk of contralateral recurrence, don’t start taking ovaries out, just get the mass
BRCA1/2 increases risk for
All GYN cancers – breast ovarian uterine
Paclitaxel chemo for what kind of ovarian cancer
Dysgerminoma
Very sensitive to chemo, like seminoma in testicular cancer
Rokitansky nodule
Mural nodule in a benign ovarian teratoma / dermoid cyst
Mural nodule in a benign ovarian teratoma / dermoid cyst
Rokitansky nodule
Manage BRCA1/2+ pt with no signs of cancer yet (ca125 neg, mammo neg, tvus neg)
Prophylactic bilateral mastectomy at any age, if not willing then Tamoxifen chemoprevention, if not willing then semiannual screening with MRI and Mammo
TAH+BSO at 35yo, semiannual TVUS and CA-125 till then
