ObGyn1 Flashcards
Acute salpingitis, aka PID (tx)
ceftriaxone (IM) and doxycycline (PO)
Signs and sxs of acute salpingitis
- Tenderness: abdominal, adnexal, CMT
- Fever
- Vaginal d/c
- Pelvic mass on PE or US
Important sequela of PID
TOA: tubo-ovarian abscess
Best method (“gold standard”) for confirmation of PID
Laparoscopy
TOA (tx)
Anaerobic organisms:
-Clindamycin or metronidazole
Complication of TOA
Rupture (surgical emergency)
Complications of PID
- Chronic pelvic pain
- Infertility
- Ectopic pregnancy
Which contraceptive increases the risk of PID and which one decreases it?
- Increased risk w/ IUD
- Decreased risk w/ OCP
Salpingitis/aka PID (etiology)
-Polymicrobial: GC, Chlam, g(-) anaerobes
Differentiate 2 benign breast masses
- Fibrocystic change: cyclical/hormonal
- Fibroadenoma: non-cyclical/non-hormonal
4 characteristics of fibroadenomas
- Firm
- Rubbery
- Mobile
- Solid
4 characteristics of fibrocystic changes
- Multiple
- Irregular
- Painful
- Can have serous/green d/c
Next step in discovery of any 3D breast mass
Biopsy (FNA, core-needle, excisional)
Fibroadenoma (histo)
Benign smooth muscle tumor
Bloody (serosanguineous) nipple d/c without breast mass (dx)
Intraductal papilloma
Signs suggestive of breast malignancy
- Skin dimpling
- Nipple retraction
- Fixed mass
- Bloody d/c
What determines the amount of tissue needed for biopsy?
Number of risk factors (higher the risk = more tissue)
UTI sxs w/ negative cultures (ddx x3)
- Urethritis (chlam)
- Candidal vulvovaginitis (pH <4.5)
- Urethral syndrome
UTI sxs without fever or CVA tenderness (dx)
-Cystitis (E.coli)
Urethral syndrome (definition)
- Urgency and dysuria
- Urethral inflammation of unknown etiology
Gross hematuria (ddx)
- Nephrolithiasis
- Hemorrhagic cystitis
Bacteriuria (definitions)
- Clean catch (100,000 CFU/cc)
- Cath (10,000 CFU/cc)
- Sxs present (1,000 CFU/cc)
Cystitis (tx x4)
- TMP/SMX (“Bactrim”)
- Nitrofurantoin
- Norfloxacin/ciprofloxacin (fluoroquinolones)
- Cephalosporins
Urethritis (bugs)
- GC (ceftriaxone+doxy)
- Chlam (doxy)
- Trichomonas (metronidazole)
Pyelonephritis (tx)
- Mild/nonpregnant: TMP/SMX or fluoroquinolone
- Severe/pregnant/immunocompromised: ampicillin+gentamicin (IV), or cephalosporin (IV)
Complication of tx pyelonephritis
- ARDS d/t endotoxin damage (causes leaky capillaries)
- Endotoxin damage of myocardium, liver (LFTs), kidneys (Cr), and lungs
No improvement in pyelonephritis after 48-72hrs of tx (ddx x2)
- UTI obstruction
- Perinephric abscess
ARDS (CXR finding)
Diffuse bilateral or interstitial infiltrates
