Well women Flashcards
Bartholin’s glands
Skene’s glands
Bartholins: right and left of vaginal opening (5 and 7 oclock position)
Skenes- lower urethral meatus
Bimanual exam Vaginal tone Cervix Uterus Ovaries Rectal/vaginal Hemacult
Vaginal tone
Cervix: 4 cm
Uterus: 5-8 cm
Ovaries: 2-4 cm
Position of uterus most common
Tipped backward
Fundus tipped backward
Fundus tipped forward
anteverted: tipped forward toward bladder
retroverted
retroflexed
anteflexed
Cervical cancer
___ most common
Rates are ____
5th
declining (Gardasil, targeting high risk)
Risk factors for abnormal paps
- Adolescents and age 30-40
- coitarche >18 (sexual activity)
- Lifetime sexual partners >3
- Hx STD, HIV or abnormal pap (95%of abnormal paps r/t HPV)
- HPV high risk types (serial abnormal paps)
- smoker (nicotine travels here) 2-4 fold increase
- contraceptive history (hormones increase risk)
- gynecologic history (DES: synthetic hormone late 60s/70s to prevent miscarriage; women whos MOTHERS took DES are at increased risk)
HPV \_\_\_\_\_\_common STI Stats: Risk factors: Types and associated disease Prevention
the most common STI
stats: 79 million americans; 14 million new each year; 3/4 sexually active 15-49 are infected
risk: sex at early age, multiple partners, weakened immune system
types: 6/11= genital warts, 16/18- cervical cancer
prevention: gardasil (two one with 4 strain protection and one with 9) or cervarix (16/18) vaccine for boys and girls prior to sexual activity age 9
Gardasil 9 vaccine Prevents: Doses: girls ages: boys ages: stains covered: # shots and timing: contraindications and considerations:
prevents: cervical, vaginal, vulvar, anal cancer and genital warts
doses: 3
girls 9-26
boys 9-15
strain 6/11/16/18+31/33/45/52/58
3 shots (0,2 and 6 months)
contraindications: allergy to yeast or previous injection, syncope: wait 15 mins
Current screening guidelines for PAPs Begin at 21-29 30-65 >65 Women with benign hysterectomy Women with history of CIN2, CIS, or cervical cancer DES, HIV, immunocompromised
begin at 21
21-29 every 3 years, HPV reflex if abnormal
30-65 q 3 with pap alone or co testing HPV/pap q 5
>65 no paps if negative history
benign hysterectomy: no paps
Hx CIN2/3, CIS, CxCa: pap ever year 20 years after diagnosis
DES, HIV, immunocompromised: every year
Transformation zone
Area most susceptible to _____
This is where you obtain_____
Consists of:
HPV pap smear Squamous cells: cervix Columnar/Glandular cells: inside cervical canal Columnar transform to squamous cells
-
satisfactory
unsatisfactory (typically glandular not obtained) cervix 2-4 cm difficult to get up there
-
negative for intraeptihelial lesion: repeat routine
epithelial cell abnormality
squamous (outside)
glandular (inside)- more worrisome
if negative for lesion but benign variation retest in one year??? 80% resolve on own- don’t think so
Abnormal pap results ASC ASCUS LSIL HSIL
ASC- atypical squamous cells
ASCUS: uncertain significance: reflex HPV and wait for result
LSIL: low grade often associated with HPV: colposcopy, HPV testing or repeat pap (21-24 dont do colposcopy repeat pap in 1yr) mild dysplasia
HSIL: high grade usually precancerous, needs colposcopy usually back in one month- mod-sev dysplasia
Reflex HPV DNA
# of strains tested
2 samples pap/HPV or reflex
HPV testing:
15
HPV testing: not in 30
AGS
always colposcopy and endocervical scraping (if + will get cone biopsy)
after childbearing years: hysterectomy recommended
Carcinoma in situ
CIS: non-invasive cervical cancer
