Diagnoses: laboring patient with intense abd pain, tachycardia, vaginal bleeding, and loss of fetal station (fetal part retracts)
Uterine rupture
What are the 2 pathways that lead to endometrial cancer
o (1) Hyperplasia pathway (75%)
♣ Carcinoma arising from endometrial hyperplasia
o (2) Sporadic pathway (25%)
♣ Carcinoma arising in atrophic endometrium
Describe risk factors for endometrial hyperplasia
Excess estrogen – Obesity, chronic anovulation/PCOS, nulliparity, early menarche/late menopause, Tamoxifen use
Tx of endometrial hyperplasia
o Progestin therapy or hysterectomy
Describe functional hypothalamic amenorrhea
♣ Caused by: excessive physical training, very low calorie diet, weight loss, chronic illness, stress and depression, anorexia nervosa
