Give brief descriptions that differentiate Postpartum

Blues vs Depression vs Psychosis

A
  • Blues = onsets PPD1, peaking at PPD5 and subsiding PPD14, worst w/lactation
  • Depression = can onset between [1 month - 12 months after birth] Traditional s/s. Previous Depression hx is RF
  • Psychosis = RARE but onsets IMMEDIATELY after birth

Why is it normal for pregnant patients to have a systolic ejection murmur

A

Q

How does pregnancy affect the respiratory system? - 2

A

Progesterone ⬆︎tidal volume for more O2 (pt takes deeper breaths) –> physiologic hyperventilation and this –> physiologic respiratory alkalosis (PaCO2 27-32) - eventually kidneys compensate by dumping HCO3

+

enlarging uterus ⬇︎ functional residual capacity

Both cause pregnancy dyspnea

A

Urethral diverticulum = distinct outpouching of urethra (with a separating border) into ANT vaginal wall –> circumscribed cystic mass

vs

A

yellowish brown thick cervical mucus shed right before labor that prevents asecending infxn during pregnancy

330
Q

In Ovarian CA, why is the specificity for CA-125 much higher in older women?

A

CA-125 can be elevated in younger women who have leiomyomata or endometriosis, so elevated CA-125 is only associated w/ovarian CA in POSTmenopausal women

331
Q

For ovarian CA, what can CA-125 be used for?

A

Postmenopausal women have ⬆︎risk of ovarian CA

  1. Monitors for recurrence after ovarian CA tx
  2. used in initial w/u of an ovarian mass to determine if it is malignant or benign

DO NOT DO NEEDLE ASPIRATION ON OVARIAN MASS PTS SINCE CA STATUS IS UNKNOWN AND MAY BE IATROGENICALLY SPREAD DURING ASPIRATION

333
Q

Why should pts taking estrogen for postmenopausal sx also should be taking progesterone if they have a uterus?

A

Unopposed estrogen –> uncontrolled endometrial proliferation (CA). Progesterone can regulate proper endometrial differentiation

just remember, estrogen replacement therapy can –> postmenopausal bleeding on its own

334
Q

Adenomyosis dx

A

True dx = pathological exam of tissue after hysterectomy

etx: glands invade uterine myometrium –> blood deposition inside myometrium during cycle –> dysmenorrhea from irregular contractions and menorrhagia from extra deposited blood

335

A
  1. Dense breast tissue in women < 30 yo might impede assessment of breast masses
  2. Breast radiation can –> Breast CA in and of itself
342

what are the different types of biopsies and when are they used? - 3

A
  1. Core = used for solid, acellular stroma masses
  2. Excisional = used for LARGE masses
  3. Fine Needle = used for cystic or very small masses

If symptoms are present –> Incision and Drainage f/b word catheter ⬇︎ recurrence

353
Q

What would you expect symptom presentation for this to be? ; What would you expect pelvic US to reveal?

A

Mature dermoid cystic teratoma of ovary

mostly asx but sometimes with long standing lower abd/pelvic pain ; hyperechoic ovarian cyst with calcifications(from teeth and bone)

357

A

OVARIAN ISCHEMIA 2/2 TORSION

mass on the ovary –> ⬆︎risk for torsion around its support ligaments which contain ovarian blood supply

It is not common for Mature dermoid cystic teratoma to rupture

360

< 150 cc

361
Q

Normal Post Void Residual for Men

A

< 50 cc

362
Q

Explain why clinicians no longer should empirically treat both Chlamydia and Gonorrhea if only one is positive

A

Since the NAAT (Nucleic Acid Amplification Test) is now so specific and sensitive that there is little chance of false negatives, empiric tx of both infections is no longer required if there is only 1 that actually has a positive result

364

  3. Levonorgestrel progestin (Plan B) - 3 days [delays ovulation]
  4. OCP progestin - 3 days [delays ovulation] - not as effective

these are NOT effective after implantation occurs and fertilization is possible 24 hours after ovulation

366

A

35 ; FSH would be higher in a ovarian reserve declining woman

368
Q

  3. Polycystic Ovaries
369

A

Failure to conceive after

  1. ≥ 1 YEAR of unprotected timed sexual intercourse (or 6 months if women is ≥35 yo)
  2. pt ≤ 34 yo
  3. pt is nulliparous

Dx = first order semen analysis then –> hysterosalpingogram then –> +/- Laparoscopy

371
Q

MOD for PCOS

A

Hyperinsulinemia and Elevated LH –> ⬆︎ Androgen release from Ovarian Theca which is converted to Estrone–> Elevated Estrone which feedbacks on the hypothalamus –> ⬇︎GnRH –> ⬇︎FSH imbalance –> failure of follicle maturation and anovulation –> No progesterone –> Endometrial CA

  • tx = weight loss and clomiphene citrate*
  • Note: if pt has high levels of sex hormone binding globulin, total testosterone may be low. so clinical dx may be necessary*
372
Q

How should pts with PCOS go about restoring ovulatory cycles 1st? What’s another option if that doesn’t work?

A

1st: WEIGHT LOSS!
2nd: Clomiphene citrate (GnRH agonist)

375
Q

Glazed erythematous lesions on vulva with ulcerated areas

377
Q

w/u: If no breast –> FSH –(if ⬇︎)–> Pituitary MRI and (if FSH is ⬆︎) –> karyotyping

381
Q

Why do pts with Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome have NO ovaries/fallopian tubes/uterus/cervix but DO have breast?

A

they actually have functioning Testes that secrete AntiMullerian Hormone & Testosterone and this –> regression of Mullerian ducts. Breast comes from the aromatization of testosterone into estrogen

Wolffian ducts also degenerate and fetal urogenital sinus does not differentiate into a penis and scrotum –> default of external female genitalia

382
Q

CP of congenital 5α reductase deficiency

A

ambiguous genitalia at birth 2/2 undervirilization

these pts can not convert Testosterone –> DHT

383
Q

Difference in CP between Androgen insenstivity syndrome and Mullerian agenesis pts

A

AIS pts will have NO pubic or axillary hair since they don’t respond to testosterone (which is what causes axillary/pubic hair in both sexes!)

but

Mullerian agenesis pts have normal testosterone levels so will have pubic and axillary hair

Both obvi have no mullerian duct organs

384
Q

  1. it causes ⬇︎ of bone mineral density
  2. it ⬆︎body fat and ⬇︎lean muscle mass

in addition to Breast tenderness and bleeding for 1st 6 months

387
Q

In a +bHCG pt who comes in with RLQ pain, vaginal bleeding and a negative Transvaginal US

why would we wait and repeat the bHCG & transvaginal US in 2 days if at the time it was already 1000

A

Intrauterine pregnancy is not detectable via transvaginal US until 1500-2000 bHCG. There should be SOMETHING on transvaginal US at that time (whether normal pregnancy or ectopic)

388
Q

βhCG levels have to be ____ for pregnancy to be detected via transvaginal US, and usually _____ when transabdominal US can finally detect it

What are βhCG levels during:

A: Ectopic Preg/Miscarriage

B: Molar Pregnancy

A

βhCG levels have to be 1500-2000 for conclusive pregnancy detection via transvaginal US and usually >5000 for transABDominal US to finally detect it

A: Ectopic Preg/Miscarriage = low βhCG

B: Molar Pregnancy = > 100,000 βhCG!!!

βhCG should double every 2 days in normal pregnancy for first 7 weeks

389
Q

GnRH

FSH

Estrogen

A
394
Q

How does the Levonorgestrel progestin IUD work as a contraceptive? - 3

A
  1. thickens cervical mucus
  2. thins the endometrium when present outside of pregnancy which –> implantation impairment AND ⬇︎menstrual bleeding
  3. prevents withdrawal bleeding altogether –> amenorrhea
405
Q

Why is it common for adolescents to have irregular and anovulatory menstruation

A

immaturity of hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis –> inadequate amounts of GnRH –> low FSH and LH –> lack of ovulation –> lack of Menses

Menses normally occurs when corpus lutem (byproduct after ovulation) produces progesterone and this progesterone drops –> Menses/shedding. No ovulation –> No menses

  • Tx = Progestin-only or Combined OCPs*
  • this self-resovles 1-4 yrs after menarche*
406
Q

BRCA mutation is associated with Breast and Ovarian CA

How can pts reduce their risk of developing Epithelial Ovarian Carcinoma?-5

A
  1. BL Salpingo-Oophorectomy
  2. OCP (only ⬇︎ovarian CA but actually ⬆︎breast CA risk)

  3. Risk Groups (immunocompro/CIN2, 3 or CA hx) need more frequent screening and voids out #1 and 2 if present

Immune system in under 21 yof clears HPV on its own within 1-2 years, thus < 21 yo don’t need testing

423
