Vaginal contraceptives
Etonogestrel/ethinyl estradiol (Nuva Ring)
Monophasic oral contraceptives
Most common type of Birth control
They are single phase
Means they provide a steady dose of hormones throughout the entire pack
Usually start on low dose of estrogen
Switch to higher dose if they have bleeding or spotting
B-phasic oral contraceptives
Contain 2 types of pills at different strengths
Usually the amount of progestin changes and
the amount of estrogen stays the same the entire pack
until you get to the placebo pills
Tri-phasic oral contraceptives
Pills of 3 different doses
The level of progestin increases as you go through the pack (similar to the body)
Most common pattern is 7 days of one strength 7 days another strength 7 days another strength 7 days of inactive pills

Ages 10 - 12
With a peak (65%) between ages 13-14

No

For men in whom no cause can be identified and the gynecomastia is tender and persists more than three months
What is the treatment?
Brief trial (3 to 6 months) of a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) for relief of tenderness.
Tamoxifen (10mg BID) for tenderness
Inadequate experience withraloxifene. (not used)
For men with already developed gynecomastia
and are on antiandrogen therapy
What is treatment?
Tamoxifen
If it is a recent onset
and if likely to be in proliferative phase
Gynecomastia Causes
Spironolactone Antiandrogens Cimetidine Ketoconazole 5 - alpha reductase inhibitors
Selective estrogen receptor modulators
SERM
Clomiphene (Clomid)
raloxifene (evista)
Tamoxifen (soltamox)
What does a SERM do to breast tissue?
Selective estrogen receptor modulators
Tamoxifen
Exerts an anti estrogenic effect in breast tissue
It is important in treatment of estrogen/progesterone receptor positive breast cancer
What does a SERM do to bone?
Selective estrogen receptor modulators
Tamoxifen and raloxifene
Have selective agonist activity of estrogen receptors in bone tissue.
They decrease the risk of osteoporosis
What does a Tamoxifen (SERM) do to the uterus?
Selective estrogen receptor modulators
Tamoxifen
A partial estrogenic effect occurs in the uterus
Increases risk of endometrial carcinoma and uterine sarcoma
What does a Raloxifene (SERM) do to the uterus?
Selective estrogen receptor modulators
Raloxifene
Has a antagonistic effect of estrogen receptors on the uterus
Decreases risk endometrial carcinoma and uterine sarcoma
SERM Overview of different tissues
Selective estrogen receptor modulators
Tamoxifen & Raloxifene
Tamoxifen
Treats breast cancer
Increases risk of endometrial carcinoma and uterine sarcoma
Raloxifene
Decreases risk endometrial carcinoma and uterine sarcoma
Both Tamoxifen and Raloxifene
Decrease risk of osteoporosis
Tamoxifen
Soltamox (anti-estrogen)
Treatment of metastatic breast cancer in men & women

Coumarin anticoagulants, history of DVT/PE, planned pregnancy, nursing mothers
CAT D
Adverse
Hot flashes, Vaginal discharge, altered menses, rash, HA, nausea
Raloxifene
Evista
(SERM) Selective estrogen receptor modulators
Contra
History of DVT/PE/Thrombotic events, nursing mothers, planned pregnancy

Goal of therapy in men with sexual dysfunction
Improve libido
address 2 vital sexual functions
acquire and maintain adequate erection
Treat premature ejaculation
Why are PDE-5 inhibitors recommended
Efficacy
ease of use
favorable side effects
Which PDE-5 inhibitor is best?
Sildenafil, tadalafil, avanafil
All are equally effective
Tadalafil
Contraindicated in men taking nitrates
Who are PDE 5-inhibitors contraindicated in?
Contraindicated in men taking nitrates
What are alpha adrenergic antagonists used for?
BPH
-osin
Terazosin Tamsulosin Alfuzosin Silodosin Doxazosin
What do alpha adrenergic antagonists cause when combined with PDE-5 inhibitors?
Symptomatic Hypotension
If used
Tamsulosin and silodosin are better and less likely to cause hypotension
Treatment for Premature Ejaculation
SSRI’s are first line
Clomipramine is second line

Clomiphene Side effects
Changes in
Libido, Mood, Energy level
Increased aggression
Male pattern baldness
Enlarged prostate
Breast tenderness
Mild Acne
Clomiphene MOA
Pituitary gland secretes hormones into the blood
Clomiphene increases these hormones
This stimulates the production of testosterone and sperm in the testes
Boosted levels of these hormones will reduce symptoms of hypoandrogenism (low testosterone),
Increase sperm count, improve non obstructive azoospermia
(a blockage that prevent sperm from entering the semen)
Anastrozole MOA
Arimidex
Aromatase inhibitor
Originally for breast cancer
Now used off label for infertility in men
It blocks the enzyme aromatase
which prevents testosterone from changing into testosterone
Anastrozole Side effects
Arimidex
Aromatase inhibitor
