Q

Where is estrogen secreted from, and what does it do?

A

Estrogen is secreted by follicles(the theca interna and granulosa cells of the ovarian follicle)

Estrogen stimulates the development of female reproductive structures and promotes the growth of endometrial tissue during proliferative phase

Q

Where is progesterone secreted from, and what does it do?

A

Progesterone is secreted by the corpus luteum.

Progesterone helps prepare and maintain the endometrium for arrival and implantation of an embryo.

Q

What supplies blood to the ovaries, vagina, uterus, and where do the drain?

A

Blood is supplied to the uterus and vagina by the uterine artery.

The ovaries receive blood from the branches of the uterine artery and from the ovarian arteries.

Ovarian veins: right vein drains into the IVC directly, left vein drains into the left renal vein

Q

What is an abnormally heavy or long period known as?

A

menorrhagia

20
Q

What are the ligaments that support the cervix?

A

The cervix is fixed in position by the cardinal and uterosacral ligaments.

21
Q

What is PI, RI, and S/D?

How are they calculated?

A

S/D ratio (or A/B ratio)

(A=peak systolic and B=end diastolic)

RI(resistive index)=A-B/A

PI(pulsatility index)=A-B/mean

low-resistance flow(RI<0.4) has been found in patients with endometrial carcinoma

high-resistance flow(RI>0.5) in normal or benign endometria

if pulsatility index is used, the cutoff is 1

22
Q

What is the procedure known as that uses saline and a transvaginal transducer?

A

sonohysterography (also known as saline infused sonography-or hysterosonography)

23
Q

what are the disinfectants used for probes?

A

glutaraldehyde (most disinfectants are now nonglutaraldehyde based-Cidex OPA)

24
Q

What does the bladder do for us in ultrasound?

A

It acts as an acoustic window

25
Q

Most common site for a fibroid to occur

A

intramural(confined to the myometrium)

26
Q

Name all the different types of fibroids

A

leiomyomas:

submucosal(displacing or distorting the endometrial cavity with subsequent irregular or heavy menstrual bleeding)

intramural(confined to the myometrium, the most common type)

subserosal(projecting from the peritoneal surface of the uterus)

sometimes subserosal leiomyomas become pedunculated

27
Q

What is hydormetra?

A

it is an obstruction of the uterus and/or vagina characterized by an accumulation of fluid

28
Q

What is adenomyosis?

A

it is a benign growth of the endometrium that may cause heavy, painful menstrual bleeding

29
Q

What are uterine AVMs?

A

uterine arteriovenous malformations-consist of a vascular plexus of arteries and veins without an intervening capillary network

D&C can not be done on because they could hemorrhage and bleed out

30
Q

How do you measure endometrium?

A

In sagittal view:

anterior and posterior layers are measured

31
Q

What is the percentage of postmenopausal women that will end up with endometrial carcinoma?

A

10%

32
Q

What are the risks of taking Tamoxifen?

A

reported to cause growth in leiomyomas

effect on uterus include:

epithelial metaplasia, hyperplasia, carcinoma

33
Q

What is the vaginal cuff?

A

Its what is left after a hysterectomy

usually no bigger than 2cm

34
Q

What is PCOS?

polycystic ovarian syndrome

A

an endocrine disorder associated with chronic ovulation

includes Stein-Leventhal syndrome(infertility, oligomenorrhea, hirsutism, obesity)

35
Q

What are the stages of ovarian cancer?

A

Stage 1: limited to the ovary

Stage 2: spread beyond capsule but still within the pelvis

Stage 3: spread into abdomen

Stage 4: spread beyond abdomen

36
Q

What is a common benign tumor of the ovary?

A

dermoid cyst

37
Q

What are the differentials for a cyst adjacent to the ovary but not ovarian?

A

pedunculated fibroid

dermoid

fibroma

thecoma

granulosa cell tumor

Brenner tumor

metastasis

38
Q

What is endometriosis?

A

condition that occurs when functioning endometrial tissue is found outside the uterus

39
Q

What is an endometrioma?

A

localized tumor of endometriosis

most often found in the ovary, cul-de-sac, rectovaginal septum, and peritoneal surface of the posterior wall of the uterus

40
Q

What is partial or complete torsion of the ovary?

A

ovarian torsion

41
Q

What is a disorder that causes chronic anovulation?

A

PCOS(polycystic ovarian syndrome)

42
Q

What is PID and what are the risk factors?

A

PID-pelvic inflammatory disease

risk factors: early sexual contact, multiple sexual partners, history of sexually transmitted disease, previous history of PID, use of ICUDs, douching

43
Q

What is a pelvic infection that has perihepatic inflammation?

A

Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome

44
Q

How many couples are affected by infertility every year?

A

1 in 3 couples

45
Q

What is an enlarged ovary with multiple cysts known as?

A

OHSS-ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome

46
Q

What is the percentage of multiples in IVF?

A

about 30% result in multiples

47
Q

What are increased risks for using fertility treatments?

A

ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome:could result in leg edema, ascites, pleural effusions, hypotension, polycythemia

multiple gestations:3 or more increases risk of fetal or neonatal morbidity and mortality

ectopic pregnancy:also at risk for a heterotopic pregnancy
