pap smear screening
21q3
do a pap smear and it comes out showing ASCUS. what do you do?
ASCUS = atypical squamous cells of uncertin significance.1. repeat pap q3 months untill resolves or do an HPV DNA screen.ASCUS and HPV + = ColposcopyASCUS and HPV - = q3yASCUS and +repeat = ColposcopyASCUS and -repeat = q3y
Who gets vaccinated for HPV?
EVERYONE!Female: 13-26male: 12-21 or 26 still up for debate.
how do you dx endometrial cancer?
this will be seen in post meno women wiht abnormal bleeding = do endometrial sampling and a D&C, can also do pelvic ultrasound to see if thickness is <5mm.
do bx for endometrial sampling and you see hyperplasia tx? adenocarinoma tx?
hyperplasia = progesterone –| estrogen via blocking FSHAdenocarcinoma = TAH + BSO*if there is mets tx w/Carboplatin & Paclitaxel

SCC caused by HPV
DES is associated wiht….
Adenocarcinoma of the vagina
46XX w/primary amenorrhea
Mullerian agenesis= no Müllerian ducts = no uterus or upper vag+ boobs, pubes, ovaries but -uterus = primary amenorrhea
46XY w/primary amenorrhea
Androgen insensitivity=no androgen receptor! Balls present and making testosterone but due to lack of receptor wolf degrades, MIF degrades mullerian.+testes +breast -pubes -uterus =primary amenorrhea
45X w/primary amenorrhea
Turners!No ovaries and no estrogen!Streak ovaries, short stature, webbed neck, infertility, amenorrhea, broad chest, urinary track abnormalities, bicuspid aortic, aortic core Tatian, dysgerminomas risk, normal intelligence- ovaries,breast,pubes but + uterus = primary amenorrhea
Amenorrhea and can’t smell
Kallman syndrome = no GnRH = no LH & FSH = no E&P-boobs +uterus
Causes of primary amenorrhea
Kallman syndromeMullerian agen(46XX)Androgen insensitivity(46XY)Turners (45X)Swyer Syndrome(46XY)
What is important to do for ppl with androgen insensitivity that you don’t do for mullerian agenesis?
Remove testes once developed to prevent cancer and then start hormone therapy.
Kallmann syndrome tx

all girls should develop menarche by —- and begin to develop secondary sex char by —-.
15, 13
testosterone in mullerian agen vs androgen insens?
normal in mullerian but elevated in androgen insen.
what does a negative progesterone challenge test tell you?
absence of withdrawal bleeding is caused by either inadequat estrogen priming of the endometrium or outflow tract obstruction(imperforate hymen).
what does a positive Progesterone challenge test tell you?
diagnostic of anovulation! = need to give cyclic progesterone to prevent endometrial hyperplasia. give Clomiphene if pregnancy is desired.
What does a negative estrogen-progest challenge test tell you?
diagnostic of outflow obstruction or endometrial scarring(Asherman Syndrome) = do hysterosalpingogram(HSG) to ID
What does a positive estrogen-progest challenge test tell you?
bleeding = there just wasnt enough estrogen in the first place. look at FSH to ID etiology.elevated FSH = ovarian failurelow FSH = need to r/o brain tumor.
what is asherman syndrome?
scarring of the uterus due to extensive uterine curettage and infection-producting adhesions.
define secondary amenorrhea
women of reproductive age who has stopped having periods for >6 months. ^nobody waits that long to investigate though lol
causes of secondary amenorrhea
- Pregnancy2. Hypothyroidism3. Prolactinoma4. Meds5. Menopause6. Savage Syndrome/Resistant ovarian Syndrome7. Asherman’s Syndrome8. Hypothalamus9. Primary Ovarian Insufficiency
how does hypothyroid cause secondary amenorrhea? how do you treat?
hypothyroid = increased TSH = increases prolactin production = inhibits GnRH causing amenorrhea.*will also see dec FSH & LH(duh) just like wiht a prolactinoma.tx: levothyroxine
work up and tx of prolacintoma
suspect if galactorrhea or amenorhea. get prolactin level then MRI.tx: Pramixpaxole < cabergoline
what drugs will cause secondary amenorrhea?
DA antagoinist like atypical antipsychotics.
hormone levels in menopause…
elevated FSH and LH
28 yo women who has 2nd amenorrhea. FSH and LH are elevated. U/S shows many follicles. dx? tx?
Savage Syndrome/Resistant ovary Syndrome = basically early menopause =(*no tx =(

What are Fibroids?
Leiomyomas in the Uterus = benign. Asymmetric, hard nodules, painful, may have iron def due to bleeding, can cause problems wiht pregnancy or obstruction due to location(due to size). Will increase in size with estrogen. dx: U/S tx: w/OCP
Adenomyosis. tx?
endometrium grows into the myometrium. symmetrically enlarged, soft, tender uterus, menorrhagia and dysmenorrhea
when is abnormal uterine bleeding(AUB) normal?
near menarche or menopause
how do you dx AUB? Tx?
exclusion! tx: OCP & NSAIDs to reduce bleeding
What happens in Polycystic ovarian Syndrome?
ovary is replaced by thousands of follicles that produce large amounts of estrogen which then is converted to testosterone = fat, hairy, irregular menses, deep voice, trouble getting prego, DM, dyslipidemiadx: LH/FSH >3 makes dx. elevated testosterone but normal DHEAStx: OCP + Metformin(reduces androgens), clomiphene to help with getting prego
IUP w/bleeding, closed OS, U/S shows live baby….
threatened abortion, get bed rest and see if its okay.
IUP w/bleeding, open OS & U/S shows dead baby..

Rh - mothers need to be given….
Rogam! = mom doesnt Rh factor and will have Ab to this factor – baby will have this factor = give rogam toprevent abortion
UPT +, vaginal bleeding…next step?
do U/S to diff = baby, abortion, molar prego or ectopic pregnancy
How do you use B-quant in ectopic prego?
B-quant = bhcg.If >/=1500 and in fallopian tube = ectopic.if <1500 and in fallopian tube = wait! may still be traveling to uterus = wait 48hrs and try again.
When can you use methotrexate + leukovorin for ectopic pregnancy?
if bhcg <5000 or 8000, <3cm, no heart tones, moms not on folate
tx for non-ruptured ectopic prego…
salpingostomy = reach in and remove
Amenorrhea
No peroids for 3+ consecutive months
Swyer Syndrome
46XY congenital lack of testes. Resulting in no MIS causing female appearance
What are the 3 phases of the mentral cycle? Days?
- Menstrual phase (1-4) drop in E&P cause break down of functional layer2. Proliferate phase( 5-14): follicle grows producing increasing estrogen which promotes the growth of endometrium and inhibits LH(this theca and progest)3. Secretory phase(14-28) high estrogen causes + feedback on LH causing theca to increase progesterone = stabilizing endometrium.
@d28 what happens if prego?
bhCG produced by implanted egg supports CL allowing it to continue to produce progesterone until wk 10 when placenta takes over allowing CL to degrade, bhcg levels to fall but E&P levels maintained
HD estrogen will….

can you give OCPs to reduce the size of ovarian cysts?
nope! they dont work dont do this
what do you give a young girl wiht irregular, heavy bleeding? why?
NSAIDs, young women who just started menarche will often have abnormal cycles likely do to anovulation and NSAIDs are kinda like pushing the reset button on it to regulate the cycle.
what do you do when you find a cysts between 3-10cm?
reimage within 12 weeks(U/S) to show any growth. if not just ignore it. if less than 3cm dont need to reimage.

Overflow or Hypotonic Incontinencehow do you dx? tx?
lesions of the pine or nerves of any kinda(trauma, diabetic neuropathy, multiple sclerosis) = loss of sensory feedback indicating fullness. involuntary loss of urine day and night WITHOUT THE URGE OR ABILITY TO VOID. Bladder never empties.dx: cystometry shows absence contractionstx: timed voids w/bithanechol or cathiterization
pt w/constant and continuous leak of urine day or night…dx?
fistuladx: inject dye into bladder or rectum and insert tampon in vagina if leak then the dye will leak onto tampon
