> 35 day cycle
Oligomenorrhea
Polymenorrhea
Heavy Menstrual Bleeding; >80mL blood loss or >7days of menses
Menorrhagia
Frequent but irregular menstruation
Metrorrhagia
Heavy, irregular menstruation at irregular intervals
Menometrorrhagia
Maintains endometrium to support implantation
Progesterone
Polymenorrhea
Heavy Menstrual Bleeding; >80mL blood loss or >7days of menses
Menorrhagia
Frequent but irregular menstruation
Metrorrhagia
Heavy, irregular menstruation at irregular intervals
Menometrorrhagia
Maintains endometrium to support implantation
Progesterone
Mittelschmerz
transient mid-cycle ovulatory pain; classically associated with peritoneal irritation; may mimic an appendicitis
Induces and maintains lactation and decreased reproductive function
Prolactin
assists in milk letdown; also promotes uterine contractions
Oxytocin
Vitamin necessary for exclusively breastfed infants
Vitamin D
Source of hCG
Syncytiotrophoblast of placenta
Function of hCG
maintains corpus luteum and progesterone for the first trimester acting like LH
Synthesis of estriol and progesterone in 2nd and 3rd trimesters
Placenta
Alpha subunit of hCG is structurally identical to
LH, FSH, and TSH
beta subunit of hCG
what pregnancy tests detect
Hormone that is significantly increased in menopause
FSH, because estrogen is decreased so lack of negative feedback
Menopause before 40
Premature ovarian failure
HAVOCS in menopause
Hot flashes, Atrophy of Vagina; Osteoporosis; Coronary artery disease; Sleep disturbances
bacterial infection of breat; usually S. aureus associated with breastfeeding
Acute Mastitis
Tx of Acute Mastitis
Drainage and Dicloxacillin
Inflammation of subareolar ducts; usually smokers
Subareolar mass with nipple retraction
Periductal Mastitis
Inflammation with dilation of subareolar ducts; Green-brown nipple discharge
Mammary Duct Ectasia
When spermatogenesis begins
At puberty with spermatogonia; full development takes 2 months
Differentiates the epididymis, vas deferens, seminal vesicles
Testosterone
Deepens voice
Testosterone
Closing of epiphyseal plates
Testosterone
Early DHT effect
differentiates penis, scsrotum, prostate
Late DHT effect
prostate growth, balding, sebaceous gland activity
5alpha-reductase
testosterone to DHT; inhibited by Finasteride
Closes epiphyseal plates
estrogen converted from testosterone
