Q

Androgen insensitivity syndrome – what is it?

Patient genotype?

Phenotype? (findings)

A

Androgen receptor defect (high testosterone level)

46 XY

Undescended testes, no uterus, female external genitalia, little pubic hair

25
Q

Primary amenorrhea, normal breast development, low testosterone, 46XX, vaginal obstruction, no cervix or uterus, normal fallopian tubes

Cause?

A

Mullerian agenesis (Meyer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome)

Failure of mullerian ducts to fuse distally and create upper genital tract

26
Q

Primary amenorrhea, normal breast development, normal uterus, monthly dysmenorrhea, no vaginal bleeding, vaginal bulge and midline cystic mass

Tx?

A

Imperforate hymen

Hymenectomy

27
Q

Primary amenorrhea, normal breast development, normal uterus, monthly dysmenorrhea, no vaginal bleeding. No vaginal bulge.

A

Transverse vaginal septum

28
Q

MOST COMMON cause of secondary menstrual irregularity

29
Q

Endocrine causes of secondary amenorrhea (6)

A
  • Poorly-controlled DM
  • PCOS
  • Cushing’s
  • Thyroid dysfunction
  • Premature ovarian failure
  • Late-onset CAH
30
Q

Acquired causes of secondary amenorrhea (4)

A
  • Stress
  • Meds
  • Exercise
  • Eating disorders
31
Q

Tumor causes of secondary amenorrhea (3)

A
  • Ovarian
  • Adrenal
  • Prolactinoma
32
Q

Secondary amenorrhea - labs?

A
  • Urine hCG (pregnancy)
  • TSH (hypothyroid)
  • Prolactin (prolactinoma (> 100), ectopic causes (under 100))
  • FSH
33
Q

Secondary amenorrhea. TSH and prolactin are normal. Now do what?

Result meanings?

A

Progesterone challenge test

  • Bleeding = PCOS, other
  • No bleeding = low estrogen or outflow abnormality
34
Q

Secondary amenorrhea. TSH and prolactin are normal. Progesterone challenge test is negative. Now do what?

Result meanings?

A

Estrogen/progesterone challenge test

  • No bleeding = outflow obstruction
  • Bleeding = HP axis or ovarian issue
35
Q

Secondary amenorrhea. TSH and prolactin are normal. PCT is negative, E/P challenge test is positive. Now what?

Result meanings?

A

FSH and LH levels

  • High = ovarian issue
  • Normal/low = H-P axis issue
36
Q

How to distinguish hypothalamic from pituitary cause of secondary amenorrhea?

A

MRI of head – no mass = hypothalamic issue

Mass = pituitary issue

37
Q

Secondary amenorrhea, TSH and prolactin are normal, PCT and E/PCT are negative…

Causes of secondary outflow tract obstruction (2)

A

Asherman syndrome - scarring in uterus from previous procedure

Cervical stenosis

38
Q

Secondary amenorrhea. TSH and prolactin are normal. PCT is positive…diagnoses?

A
  • Nonclassic CAH
  • Cushing’s
  • Adrenal androgen tumor
  • PCOS
  • Sertoli-Leydig tumor
  • Exogenous androgens
39
Q

Diagnosing PCOS - criteria

A

2 of 3:

  • Chronic anovulation
  • LH:FSH = 2:1
  • Cysts beneath ovary cortex
40
Q

How to treat PCOS? (5)

A
  • Weight loss
  • OCPs (reduces FSH/LH, and increases sex hormone binding globulins, thus decreasing testosterone level)
  • Clomiphene
  • Spironolactone (competes for testosterone binding sites)
  • Metformin
41
Q

PCOS - increased risk of what?

A

Endometrial cancer (high estrogen)

42
Q

Positive PCT, positive E/PCT, high FSH and LH…issue? (5 possibilities)

A

Primary ovarian issue

  • Ovarian failure (menopause or premature)
  • Surgical injury
  • Radiation/chemo
  • Fragile X carrier
  • Mumps
43
Q

Positive PCT, positive E/PCT, low FSH and LH, normal head CT…issue? (6 possibilities)

A

Hypothalamic issue

  • Eating disorder
  • Chronic illness
  • Cranial radiation
  • Excessive exercise
  • Malnutrition/weight loss
  • Sheehan syndrome
44
Q

Hyperandrogenism - most common causes

45
Q

Hyperandrogenism, high 17-hydroxyprogesterone

A

CAH (21-hydroxylase deficiency)

46
Q

Hyperandrogenism, high urinary cortisol

A

Cushing’s

47
Q

Hyperandrogenism, high DHEA or testosterone

A

Androgen-producing tumor (adrenal or testicle)

48
Q

A

Abnormally frequent menses ( less than 21 day intervals)

49
Q

52
Q

***Intermenstrual bleeding - definition

A

53
Q

A

Menstrual cycles > 35 days but less than 6 months

54
Q

55
Q

Acronym and List of DUB causes/groups

A

PALM COEIN

  • Polyp
  • Adenomyosis
