OBG part 3 Flashcards
___ is used to treat osteoporosis in patients who also require breast cancer prophylaxis.
Raloxifene
selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM)
Increases risk of DVT/PE/hyper-coagulation
Prolactin, which is high in breastfeeding individuals, inhibits the release of ___
GnRH & Gonadotropins
resulting in low estrogen levels (dyspareunia)
The __ nodes are the primary lymphatic draining site for the distal vagina, vulva, and penis.
superficial inguinal
→ deep inguinal → ext iliac → para-aortic nodes
The ___ lymph nodes are the primary draining site for the cervix.
internal iliac
The ___ lymph nodes are the primary draining site for the body of the uterus.
external iliac
cervix= interenal iliac
The ___ lymph nodes are the primary draining site for the ovaries & testes.
para-aortic
blood supply directly from aorta
Lower abdominal pain (typically bilateral), cervical motion tenderness, and purulent vaginal discharge
Diagnosis is ___
PID
*can also px/w: dyspareunia, dysuria, ↑ WBC/ESR
Common causes of infectious vulvovaginitis (3)
inflammation/infection of vagina
Bacterial vaginosis
Vaginal yeast infection
Trichomoniasis
*other STDs & atrophic vaginitis
Complications associated with PID include (4)
pelvic peritonitis/sepsis
infertility (tubal scarring)
TOA
ectopic pregnancy
Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome
Placenta previa risk factors (4)
h/o placenta previa
h/o cesarean delivery
h/o curettage
> 35 years
multiparity
How to work up suspected placenta previa?
Transvaginal ultrasound
*Digital vaginal examinations are c/i in case of hemorrhage of unknown cause
Management of Placenta Previa: Asymptomatic patients (EGA: ≤20w) Asymptomatic patients (EGA< 37w) Symptomatic stable pt (EGA< 37w) Severe, active bleeding (EGA< 37w) Regardless of sxs if gestational age > 37w
Asymptomatic patients (EGA: 18–20w) → f/u TVUS at 32 w (to monitor placement)
Asymptomatic patients (EGA< 37w) → expectant management* + admit
Symptomatic stable pt (EGA< 37w) → expectant management* + admit for Observation
Severe, active bleeding (EGA< 37w) → emergent cesarean
Gestational age > 37 weeks →immediate cesarean
*Expectant management
< 36w: corticosteroids
If mild uterine contractions: tocolysis & magnesium if <32
Painless (3T) vaginal bleeding (fetal blood) that occurs suddenly after ROM with Fetal distress ( like bradycardia) on FHT.
Fetal death can occur quickly through exsanguination or asphyxiation
VASA PREVIA
How to work up suspected vasa previa? (1)
Treatment
Transabdominal or TVUS with color Doppler
Emergency cesarean delivery
A NEGATIVE fetal fibronectin from cervical secretions rules of
Premature Labor
When is a vaginal exam contraindicated?
3
Vasa Previa
Placenta Previa
Placental Abruption
Sudden-onset abdominal or back PAIN (+/- between contractions)
uterine tenderness
Continuous vaginal bleeding
Fetal distress: Decelerations (60% of cases)
Vaginal Bleeding
Placental Abruption
Cx: DIC 2/2 fetal thromboplastin release
Work up for suspected placental abruption (3)
Transabdominal Ultrasound* Coagulation factors (DIC r/o) CBC (H&H)
*possible retroplacental hematoma
Treatment for placental abruption
Hemodynamic control
RhD ppx in RhD negative mothers
≤33w (HDS mom & baby)
- corticosteroids (betamethasone)
- tocolysis PRN
- Aim for a normal delivery
≥34w
Bleeding + contractions→ vaginal delivery
No bleeding + No contractions + ok baby → expectant management (steroids, tocolysis)
≥37w
Deliver
Placental Abruption complications
IUFD
DIC (thromboplastin)
Retro-placental hemorrhage into peritoneum
Uterine rupture
Vaginal bleeding with regular uterine contractions and cervical changes in laboring woman.
