Q

Benefits of Transdermal Estrogen replacement vs oral

A
  1. Provides 17-beta-estradiol, which is structurally identical to ovarian 17-beta-estradiol.
  2. Avoids the first-pass effect (which is a/w inc production of clotting factors).
  3. Replacement by steady infusion rather than by bolus.
  4. Reduces the risk of VTE vs oral route
  5. May be associated with a reduced risk of GB (ie, cholecystitis, cholelithiasis, and cholecystectomy)

(UTD)

Q

What does breast development suggest re: eugonadism vs hypogonadism

A

No breasts = hypogonadal

breasts = preduced estrogen at some point, assess current estrogen status with progestin withdrawal test

Q

Hypo/Hypo pt: next step

A

Q
CASE: 
17 y/o primary amenorrhea
unable to smell
FMx infertility
Tanner 5 breast, vagina present
1. Investigations? 
2. If she had no breast development would it be different?
A

1.
- Determine current Estrogen status - Tanner 5 breast
Progestin withdrawal bleed (Provera 10 x 10) = neg
- FSH, E2, TSH, PRL
- Bone age
2.
Yes - hypogonadism present if no breasts so no need to assess E2 status

unable to smell
FMx infertility and anosmia
Tanner 5 breast, vagina present
FSH 2, Provera challenge failed
1. Dx
2. Next Step
3. Likely Cause
4. Tx
A
  1. Hypo/Hypo
  2. MRI
  3. Kallman’s
    • Sex steroid replacement: Estrogen until breast development adequate then add progestin (combined OCP)
    • Calcium/Vit D
    • Gonadotropins for fertility
    • Genetic counselling

3. Likely Dx
4. Management
A
  1. FSH, TSH, PRL
  2. Karyotype
  3. Turners (45X)
    • Remove the gonads!
    • risk of cardiac /renal abn
    • risk of hypothyroidism
    • NO donor IVF - cardiac risks

1. DDX
2. most likely and what else to look at?
A

1.

  • transverse vaginal septum or imperforate hymen (usually have pain, younger)
  • complete AIS (usually Tanner 1-2)
  • Mullerian aplasia

Q

How is precoscious puberty divided/classified?

A
  1. Central/Gonadotropin dependent
    - idiopathic (MOST COMMON)
    - CNS abnormality
    - Chronic exposure to sex steroids (McCune- Albright Syndrome, CAH, tumor) which start as peripheral and then activate puberty
  2. Peripheral/Gonadotropin independent
    - isosexual (estrogen)
    - contrasexual (androgens)
17
Q

Causes of peripheral precocious puberty

A
Ovarian tumors
Adrenal d/o
McCune albright syndrome
Primary hypothyroidism (rare)
Exogenous estrogen (rare)

granulosa cell tumors (60%)

19
Q

What is McCune Albright Syndrome

A

Recurrent follicular cysts

irregular cafe au lait spots

20
Q

What is the one cause of peripheral precoscious puberty that has delayed bone age (vs advanced)?

A

Primary Hypothyroidism

21
Q

What lab results suggest early puberty?

A
  • LH>FSH

  • E2 elevated
  • Bone age advanced > 2SD
22

No longterm issues

Q

CASE:
