OME/Books 2 Flashcards
fat, hairy woman, male pattern distribution
hirsutism (moderate androgen elevation)
hirsutism + clitormegaly, deep voice, male muscle pattern
virilization (severe androgen elevation)
two types of androgens and where they are produced in woman
testosterone - ovaries (u/s)
DHEA-S - adrenal glands CT/MRI
hisurtism, moderately elevated testosterone, normal DHEA-S, bilteral ovaries finding on imaging
PCOS
2 ways to dx PCOS
- imaging (ovarian cysts on ultrasound
2. LH/FSH > 3:1
rx PCOS
- exercise wt loss
- metformin (also helps with ovulation)
- OCPs/clomiphene if fertility wanted
- anti-androgens like sprironolactone
virilization, very elevated testosterone, DHEAS normal, unilateral ovary
Sertoli leydig tumor of ovary
find tumor on u/s and resect (unilateral oophorectomy)
virilization, very elevated DHEAS, normal testosterone, unilateral adrenal
adrenal tumor
dx with adrenal vein sampling (confirm laterality) then cut out one of the adrenal glands)
elevated DHEAS, no change in testosterone, hirsutism, bilateral adrenal glands on CT/MRI, elevated 17 hydroxyprogesterone in urine
CAH
definitive test for CAH
17 oh progesterone in urine
accumulates in the absence of 21 beta hydroxylase (body is trrying to make more cortisol and aldosterone, so hypertrophies)
rx CAH (21 b hydroxylase)
cortisol fludrocorticosne (repletes aldosterone)
hirsut, normal everything
familial hirsutism
underlying pathophys menopause
ovarian failure (decreased estrogen, no fertilitY)
T:F menopause is protective against UTI
FALSE, menopausal women are more vulnerable to UTI
after how many missed cycles can you dx menopause
cessation of cycles for more than 12 consecutive cycles
CLINICAL DX
when you’re having early menopause symptoms what labs can you get?
elevated FSH!!!
FSH elevated in menopause
risk of systemic HRT for menopausal symptoms
increased risk breast cancer
rx hot flashes
SSRI (venlefaxine)
estrogen creams
