39
Q

What is the recommended treatment for a breastfeeding woman with a suspected breast abscess?

A

needle aspiration, antibiotics, and continued feeding

common antibiotics for mastitis include dicloxacillin and cephalexin; incision and drainage is typically reserved for abscesses that are not responsive to needle aspiration and antibiotics

40
Q

Acute mastitis is due to what type of bacterial infection

A

Staph aureus

41
Q

treatment for acute mastitis

A

Analgesia
Frequent breastfeeding or pumping
Antibiotics

42
Q

Young woman that presents with a soft, mobile, well-circumscribed mass at the base of the labia majora?

A

Bartholin duct cysts

43
Q

Treatment for asymptomatic Bartholin duct cysts

A

1st line Observation

spontaneous drainage and resolution may occur; symptomatic cysts require incision & drainage, followed by placement of a Word catheter

44
Q

A 6-month postpartum woman that presents with irregular vaginal bleeding, an enlarged uterus, and dyspnea with multiple infiltrates on CXR?

A

Choriocarcinoma

classically occurs after a complete hydatidiform mole, but can occur after normal pregnancy or spontaneous abortion

45
Q

Risk factors for Choriocarcinoma

A

Advanced maternal age

Prior complete hydatidiform mole

46
Q

Clinical presentation for Choriocarcinoma

48
Q

What serum marker is characteristically elevated in choriocarcinoma?

A

49
Q

Diagnosis in a young, sexually active woman that presents with fever, sore throat, and lower abdominal pain, Physical exam reveals erythematous tonsils without exudates and non-tender cervical lymphadenopathy?

A

Q

Three “D’s” of endometriosis

A

dysmenorrhea, deep dyspareunia, and dyschezia

51
Q

Congenital aromatase deficiency is characterized by what?

A

in newborn females is characterized by normal internal genitalia and ambiguous external genitalia
due to high levels of gestational androgens
low levels of estrogen
