Please be the last set: Ob/Gyn Flashcards
adrenarche
6-8 yrs to 13-15 yrs
regeneration of zone reticularis: increased DHEA, DHEAS, androstenedione
gonadarche
begins around 8 years
pulsatile GnRh leads to LH and FSH production
initially just in sleep, eventually leads to estrogen production in ovary
stimulates: thelarche, pubarche, growth spurt, menarche
thelarche
estrogen stimulates; first stage around 10
first sign of puberty
breast development
pubarche
estrogen stimulates; around 11 (lags thelarche by 6 mo)
development of pubic and axillary hair
menarche
12-13 yrs (2.5 years after development of breast buds)
estrogen stimulates
onset of menstruation
for first 2 years: most cycles anovulatory
peak growth velocity
due to increased GH and IGF (stimulated by E)
starts around 9 or 10 and peaks around 12 (9cm/yr)
reached before tanner stage 3 in breast development and stage 2 of pubic hair development
female tanner stages
I: preadolescent; elevation of papillae only
II: sparse, pigmented downy hair along labia; elevation of breast and areolar enlargement
III: darker, courser and curlier hair, further enlargement of breast and areola
IV: hair distribution is adult in type (but not full quantity); projection of areolae and papillae to from secondary mount
V: hair in adult distribution and quantity ; projection of papillae only as areolae recess to beast contour

variant of normal puberty (early development of sexual characteristics)
check bone age: normal, no further testing
monitor closely
types of incomplete precocious puberty
- premature thelarche
- premature adrenache/pubarche
- isolated growth development; normal growth rate, girls younger than 3 usually
- pubic hair without signs of puberty in children younger that 7-8 years; risk of PCOS
precocious puberty
- Hx
- PE
- age, rate of puberty, growth velocity, CNS path (headache, visual impairment, seizure), sex steroid exposure, family Hx
- growth curve, neurological exam, thyroid, skin, pubic hair breast, genitalia, palpation for pelvic/abdominal mass
precocious puberty: labs

- no evidence of monarch by 15-16 years
- when menses have not begun 5 years after thelarche
causes of delayed puberty
- hypogonadotropic hypogonadism
- hypergonadotropic hypergonadism
- Eugonadism
hypogonadism
- pituitary tumor, GnRH insufficiency, hyper-prolactinemia, constitutional delay, chronic disease, CNS disorder, trauma

delayed puberty
- PE
- labs
- Tx
- tanner staging, vaginal patency, estrogen effect, pelvic masses, signs of Turners
- pelvic USG, FSH, TSH, PRL, karyotype, MRI of brain
- address cause, induce puberty with estrogen, monitor
stages of coming out
- identity confusion
- identity comparison
- identity tolerance
- identity acceptance
- identity pride
- identity synthesis
can be out of order and skip steps
- begins to acknowledge, but find unacceptable (make excuses for behavior)
- accept but don’t describe self as gay (accept behavior but not identity or vice versa)
- accept likelihood, try on identity
- move from tolerance to acceptance, anger at society rather than self; choose to be around people that accept them
- marches, pride and anger, us against them
- begin to understand that not all heterosexuals are homophobic, relax, re-integrate into society
important to remember as a doctor when patient is in identity pride stage
- safe sex
2. don’t Dx with personality disorder, sex addiction, etc.
What triggers awareness of homosexuality and what age?
1. male
- by 13 years; romantic feeling
2. by 19 years; sexual feelings
problems with hormone therapy for transgender
- testosterone
- estrogen
- anti-androgens
- liver damage
- clotting, increase in BP and blood glucose
- lower BP, disturb electrolytes, dehydration

recruitment of egg
- first recruitment
- second recruitment
selection and growth of dominant follicle
- paracrine control: AMH
- endocrine (FSH): AMH, inhibin B and estrogen
how can you determine if a women is ovulating?
day 21 of cycle:
progesterone is over 5
AMH role in ovarian cycle
paracrine at first, endocrine (FSH driven) at end
primordial to primary oocyte to secondary oocyte to small antrum development
Inhibin B role in ovarian cycle
FSH driven
small antrum to dominant follicle
estradiol role in ovarian cycle
FSH driven
small antrum to dominant follicle and ovulation
When and where do you implant embryo in IVF
uterus: upper posterior
day 3: morula or day 5: blastocyst

- short acting insulin
postpartum DM management
maintain glucose below 150 when not eating
HALF antepartum regimen
