Repro Path Flashcards
Male Testicular atrophy Eunechoid body shape Gynecomastia Female Hair distribution
Klinefelter’s Syndrome
Klinefelter’s Syndrome Genotype
XXY
Barr body present
Hormonal effect of dysgenesis of seminiferous tubules in Klinefelter’s
Decreased inhibin –> decreased FSH
Hormonal effect of abnormal Leydig Cells in Klinefelter’s
increased LH –> increased Estrogen
Most common cause of 1º amenorrhea
Turner Syndrome
Turner Syndrome genotype
XO
No Barr Body
Short stature Ovarian dysgenesis shield chest defects in lymphatics --> webbed neck Lymphedema in hands and feet
Turner Syndrome
XO
Congenital defects associated with Turner Syndrome
Preductal Coarctation of Aorta
Horseshoe Kidney
Dysgerminoma
Hormone levels seen in Turner syndrome
Decreased Estrogen –> increased LH/FSH
Defective androgen receptor hormone levels
Increased T & LH
Testosterone secreting tumor or exogenous steroids hormone levels
increased T
Decreased LH
1º Hypogonadism hormone levels
Decreased T
Increased LH
Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism hormone levels
Decreased T and LH
Disagreement between phenotypic (external genitalia) and gonadal (testes/ovaries) sex
Pseudo-Hermaphoroditism
Female Pseudo-Hermaphoroditism (46 XX)
Ovaries but virulized/ambiguous genitalia
Exposure to androgens in utero
Male Pseudo-Hermaphoroditism (46 XY)
Testes present but female/ambiguous genitalia
Androgen insensitivity–most common cause
True Hermaphoroditism (46 XX or 47 XXY)
Both ovary and Testes
ambiguous genitailia
Rare
Increased E, T, and LH
Defect in Androgen Receptor
Genotypically male but Phenotypically female
Rudimentary vagina and no internal sex organs
Testes present in Labia
Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome
46 XY
Why do testicles need to be removed from labia in androgen insensitivity syndrome?
Prevent Malignancy
Male with ambiguous genitalia until puberty
Inability to convert T –> DHT
Autosomal Recessive
5alpha-reductase deficiency
Anosmia
Decreased Synthesis of GnRH
Decreased FSH, LH, T, and sperm count
Kallmann Syndrome
What causes Kallmann syndrome
failure of migration of GnRH cell and formation of olfactory bulb
Female presents with uterine bleeding, increased hCG, honeycomb uterus, and no fetus.
Hydatidiform Mole
Hydatidiform Mole is most common precursor of
Choriocarcinoma
Complete Hydatidiform Mole
VERY HIGH hCG 46 XX or XY Increased Uterine size Choriocarcinoma risk 2 sperm in empty egg
Partial Hydatiform Mole
69 XXX, XXY, XYY increased hCG (not as much as complete) normal uterus size 2 sperm 1 egg Composed of fetal parts RARELY becomes choriocarcinoma
Triad of preeclampsia
Edema
HTN
Proteinuria
Eclampsia
edema
HTN
Proteinuria
SEIZURES
HELLP Syndrome
Hemolysis
Elevated LV enzymes
Low Plts.
COD of pre-eclampsia
cerebral hemorrhage
ARDS
What causes pre-eclampsia?
placental ischemia due to compressed spiral aa. –> increased vascular tone
Tx for pre-eclmapsia
Delivery ASAP
Seizure Tx/prophylaxis during pregnancy (eclampsia)
Mg Sulfate
Watch for hyporeflexia
Painful bleeding in 3rd trimester
smoking, coke head mom
Hx of HTN
Abruptio placentae
detachment of placenta
Placenta accreta
Defective decidual layer allows placenta to attach to myometrium
Massive bleeding AFTER delivery
Increased risk of placenta accreta
prior C-section
inflammation
placenta previa
PAINLESS bleeding anytime during pregnancy
Placenta attached in lower part of Uterus
Near or over Os
Placenta previa
Retained placental tissue problems
post partum hemorrhage
infxn
Female presents with amenorrhea, RLQ pain, elevated hCG.
Endometrial Bx shows decidual endometrium but no chorionic villi
Ectopic pregnancy
Test of choice to Dx ectopic preg
ultrasound
Most common site for ectopic preg
fallopian tubes
Virus and genes associated with cervical CA
HPV 16–E6 inh. p53
HPV 18–E7 inh RB suppressor gene
complcation of invasive cervical CA
renal failure due to blocked ureters
Invasive cervical CA is usually what type of cell?
Squamous Cell CA
Inflammation of endometrium due to retained products of conception or foreign body (IUD)
Endometritis
Endometritis Tx
Gentamyxin + clindamycin
w/ or w/o ampicillin
Cyclic pelvic pain with menses--severe cyclic bleeding painful intercourse infertility Endometial tissue outside of uterus
