Q

Define: estrogen dependent smooth muscle tumor that is slow growing

A

Leiomyoma (fibroid)

Tx with
COC (decrease bleeding)
LngIUD (decrease bleeding)

Myomectomy
(preserves fertility, but fibroids may recur)

Uterine artery embolization (“uterine fibroid embolization”) preserves fertility, but higher risk of placental complications

Endometrial ablation: eliminates fertility but will reduce bleeding

Definitive Tx: Hysterectomy

What is the first line eval for Adenomyosis

A

TVUS ~ 83% sensitive, 85% specific → US as 1st study

What is the approach to Endometrial Hyperplasia

A

Common in post menopausal women
MC S/s metrorhaggia

Q

What is the approach to Endometrial Hyperplasia with Atypia

A

Thickened endometrium greater than 4mm = Cancer risk

Postmenopausal/post-childbearing: hysterectomy & BSO

OR

Hormonal therapy
(progesterins with Endometrial Bx q3mon.) in premenopausal patients wanting to retain reproductive capabilities
(Long IUD or PO provera)

(oral, injectable or IUD OR combined oral contraceptives w/ endometrial biopsy q3-6m)

If resolves, continue therapy regimen to maintain endometrial protection until menopause

If fails to resolve: ↑ progesterone dose or surgery (hysterectomy)

Postmenopausal women: CoC / progestin therapy w/ endometrial biopsy q3-6 mos (SAME AS ABOVE for premenopausal women)

Q

What is Lynch Syndrome

A

Lynch syndrome, often called hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC), is an inherited disorder that increases the risk of many types of cancer, particularly cancers of the colon (large intestine) and rectum, which are collectively referred to as colorectal cancer

If a pt has this, it is the only clue to screen for Endometrial Cancer and prophylactic hysterectomy due to increased cancer risk

Screen these pts starting at age 30 q1-2 years

Recommended prophylactic hysterectomy at age 40

umbilical vessels in chorion, not placenta

Can occur with velamentous cord insertion, or on its own

Exposed vessels cross cervix

Easily torn away from placenta

Fetal death d/t exsanguination can occur within minutes

Typically, c-section ~35-37w

58

EDD = 23 October 2021

63

Crown Rump Length

Greatest accuracy in 1st trimester

<9 wks EGA: >5d difference in dates

9 to <14 wks EGA: >7d difference in dates

64
Q

(if viral load <1000, can opt for vaginal delivery)

C-section: to ↓ neonatal transmission if viral load >1000 copies/mL

Avoid breastfeeding (↑ risk 10-20% of transmission)

66
Q

When is toxoplasmosis a risk to pregnancy

And what is the tx

A

Severe fatal sequelae in the 1st trimester

Tx:
Spiramycin (does not cross placenta) → only works for maternal infection

A

CMV

Present w/ mental handicap, developmental delay, vision or hearing problems in infancy

If “mononucleosis-like” illness or concern for fetal infx → serologic testing (problems: IgM present up to 2 yrs, 20% false neg)

Treatment: supportive (prevention: good hygiene & hand washing)

Nothing you can really do, just supportive care

72
Q

When is the greatest opportunity for HSV transmission

A

Primary infection in pregnancy (no maternal antibodies): greatest risk of transmission to fetus/newborn
50% vertical transmission rate in Vaginal delivery
