Turner syndrome
Ejaculate is propelled into the bladder and the bladder neck fails to contract
Retrograde ejaculation
Treatment for retrograde ejaculation
Sympathomimetic agents (psuedoephedrine)
+/- parasympatholytic agents (imipramine)
To stimulate contraction of the bladder neck
Infertility management for insufficient sperm in the antegrade ejaculate
Retrograde sperm for IUI
How to collect sperm for retrograde IUI
Voided or cath sample
Alkalinize urine with oral acetazolamide, sodium carbonate, or potassium citrate
OR instill bladder with culture media, ejaculate, then void or cath specimen
Which treatment of pituitary adenoma is preferred in pregnancy?
Bromocriptine (both are safe, there’s just more data)
Patients that have better success after IVF with frozen embryo than fresh
PCOS
How do the rates of IVF with frozen vs fresh embryo differ (in patients without PCOS)
They’re similar
Most effective medical treatment of pituitary adenoma
Cabergoline
Testosterone and DHEAS values that are concerning for ovarian or adrenal tumor in premenopausal women
Testosterone >200
DHEAS >700
Severe form of PCOS
Overproduction of androgens by ovarian stromal cells
Progressive hirsuitism/hyperandrogenism after menopause
Treated with bilateral oophorectomy
Ovarian hyperthecosis
Contraceptive method shown to decrease the risk of ovarian cancer
Combined OCPs
Infertility management for endometriomas under 3cm
IVF
Preferred hormonal birth control in patients after bariatric surgery
IUD
Combined estrogen/progestin vaginal ring]
(OCPs may have worse absorption but better than nothing)
Most common cause of hyperandrogenism during pregnancy
Hyperreactio luteinalis
Bilateral cystic masses of the ovaries
Multiple gestation, GTN, CKD (reduced clearance of hcg)
Pathologic mechanism by which PID predisposes to ectopic pregnancy
Infection results in a loss of ciliated epithelial cells –> impaired intratubal transport of an embryo
The physiologic event that induces completion of the first meiotic division of the oocyte is the:
midcycle LH surge
LH surge causes:
- First meiotic division and creation of metaphase II oocyte
- Granulosa cells and outer theca cells start to favor progesterone over estrogen
- Progesterone receptor expression increases
- Follicle rupture and extrusion of the oocyte in 24-36 hours
