Q

LH role

FSH role

A
  1. LH : stimulate theca cells = produce androgens (androstenedione + testosterone)
  2. FSH : stimulates granulosa cells = converts the androgens into estrogens E1 + E2

Q

Androgen secreting neoplasms

A

usually ovariam (Sertoli-Leydic cells) or adrenal tumor

30
Q

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAD)

A

most common from 21-hydroxylase defect* = excessive androgen made = high androgens + low cortisol

  1. female with ambigous genitalia, virilization (classic)
  2. premature pubarche and adult disorder looking like PCOS (nonclassic), late onset adrenal hyperplasia
31
Q

Isosexual Precocity

  1. true
  2. pseudoisosexual
A
  1. true = premature activation of H-P-O axis

2. pseudoisosexual = estrogen exposure (tumor)

32
Q

how to dx true isosexual precocious puberty

A
  1. administer GnRH and see riase in LH system that occurs in older normal women with HPO axis activiated
  2. MRI of head : tumors, granulomatous disease, hydrocephalus, infection, neurofibromatpsis, trauma
33
Q

True isosexual precocious puberty tx and what happens if you don tx

A

GnRH agonist (Leuprolide acetate) = suppress FSH and LH , arresting gonadal sex steroid secretion

  1. not treated = women do not reach 5ft
34
Q

pseudoisosexual precocity happens how + examples

A
  1. tumor increasing E WITHOUT activiating the HPO axis

35
Q

McCune Albright

A

cafe au lait, cystic bone defects, adrenal hypercortisolism

36
Q

Peutz Jeghers syndrome

sex cord tumor association = secreting E, GI polyps and mucocutaneous pigmentation

37
Q

delayed puberty 4 ways to dx

A

2nd sex char not by 13yo, thelarche not by 14yo, menarche not by 15-16yo, mneses not begun 5 years after thelarche

38
Q

turner syndrome is what type of delayed puberty

and what happens

  2. Gonadal dysgenesis
39
Q

Kallman Syndrome

  1. type of delay
  2. what happens
  3. factor
A
  1. Hypogonadotropic Hypodonadism
  2. anosmia (cant smell) and hyposmia (lower smell)
  3. KAL mutation on X chr = prevents GnRH neurons into hypothalamus
40
Q

XY Hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism what should you do

A

remove gonads due to risk of neoplastic transformation

41
Q

Turners syndrome

A

45XO, gonadal dygenesis

= webbing of neck(pterygium colli), broad flat chest, short, low development/puberty, coarctation of aorta

42
Q

2 reasons for primary amenorrhea WITH breast development

A
  1. Androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS) = male level testosterone, testes in abd secrete antimullerian = no uterus, external Female features , XY
  2. Mullerian agenesis = XX, MRKUS, often associated with renal abnormalities , no uterus
43
Q

Androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS)

A
normal female breasts, genetalia external, no uterus or upper vagina
= XY
= male level testosterone 
= testes in abd
= remove gonads to prevent neoplasia
44
Q

MRKHS mullerian agenesis associated with

A

renal abnormalities + primary amenorrhea with normal female breast development

45
Q
  1. imperforated hymen
  2. transverse vaginal septum
    DX how + TX how
A
  1. vaginal bulge with blood inside , tx with hymenectomy

2. MRI, tx with surgery

46
Q

mild hypothyroidism can cause

A

hypermenorrhea (heavy bleeding), oligomenorrhea (infrequent periods)

47
Q

abnormal prolactin levels can cause and what imaging should you do

A

galactorrhea (over 100ng/mL), secondary amenorrhea

= do head MRI (empty sella syndrome, pituitary adenoma)

48
Q

Microadenomas are what and do what, tx, macroadenoma is what and tx

A
  1. <10mm on MRI, increase prolactin
  2. rare malignant
  3. DA agonist (Bromocriptine, parlodel, cabergoline, dostinex)
  4. over 10mm, DA agonist or transphenoidal resection or craniotomy = to prevent optic chiasm compression leading to bitemporal hemianopia
49
Q

What to do if someone does not bleed , 2ndary amenorrhea

A
  1. TSH and prolactin test
  2. If both normal do Progesterone challenge test
  3. If - progesterone challenge do estrogen /progesterone challenge
  4. If + E/P challenge = check FSH and LH levels
  5. High LH/FSH = ovary problem

Normal or low LH/FSH = HPO problem order MRI

50
Q

Progesterone challenge test

A
  1. Bleeding occurs with progesterone given = Normogonadotropic Hypogonadism (PCOS)
  2. No bleeding with Progesterone given = low E or outflow problem
51
Q

Estrogen/Progesterone challenge

A
  1. Bleeding occurs when given P and E = HPO axis problem or ovaries (high FSH + LH = hypergonadotropic Hypogonadism, ovary problem) ( normal or low FSH +LH = hypodonadotropic Hypogonadism , HPO axis problem)
  2. No bleeding = out flow problem
52
Q

PCOS reason you dont bleed

A

You have a bunch of follicles that are made and never ovulate = low Progesterone levels

53
Q

Asherman syndrome

  1. DX
  2. What
A
  1. D&C can cause this

2. Scar tissue inside uterus preventing menstruation from coming out

54
Q

Cervical Stenosis

  1. How
  2. What
A
  1. Elderly , low E , or cervical lacerations

2. Narrowing of cervix blood cant come out

55
Q

Nonclassic Conenital Adrenal Hyperplasia

A

Elevated 17-hydroxyprogesterone

= hirsutism, acne, menstrual irregularities

56
Q

Adrenal Androgen secreting tumor

A

DHEA - S over 7000 so high

57
Q

PCOS can be caused by what tumor

A

Sertoli-Leydig Tumor secreating Testosterone

58
Q

PCOS

  1. SX
  2. Associated with
  3. DX
A
  1. Leading cause of anovulatory infertility, acne, obesity, hair, sleep probs
  2. Insulin insensitivity, high insulin + high androgens = low sex hormone binding globulins (SHBG) = higher circulating testosterone **
  3. 2/3 needed : no/ or not as frequent bleeding, sx of hyperandrogenism (LH 2 : 1 FSH),
    US many small cysts
59
Q

PCOS reason for anovulation

A

High LH causing tromp and theca cells stimulation = androgen excess stimulating adipose tissue to secrete E = increases LH

60
Q

PCOS high labs + risk of

A
  1. High insulin, LH, testosterone

2. Endometrial cancer

61
Q

PCOS TX

A
  1. OCP, lower LH/FSH = increase SHGB
  2. Weight low 10lb
  3. Induce ovulation = clomiphene citrate
  4. Laser burn stroma
  5. Spironoactone = competitive binding on Testosterone Rs, lower T
62
Q

High FSH and high LH at 51 yo and 40yo

A

Hypergonadotropic Hypogonadism

  1. Menopause average age 51yo = postmenopausal ovarian failure
  2. 40yo = premature ovarian failure
  3. Can happen to people who have had mumps
63
Q

LOW FSH And LH what do you do and what can be cause

A

Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism

  1. MRI of head to check HPO axis
  2. Normal MRI = anorexia, chronic illness (DM, IBD, depression, renal deficiency), Sheehan’s syndrome destruction of Pituitary
64
Q

Hirsutism vs virilization

A
  1. H = hair patterns growing like male on female , usually from T —> DIEA more potent
  2. V : genitals and body is male like in female, excessive androgen
