Witrak: Starred Slides Flashcards
origin of most abnormal vaginal bleeding
> 90% endometrial
what causes dysfunctional uterine bleeding*?
disorders of ovulatory cycle (anovulation)
MCC of dysfuncitonal uterine bleeding
idiopathic*
PCOS
abnormal vaginal bleeding in POST menopausal women
endometrial atrophy*
endometrial ATOROPHY/ HYPERPLASIA/CARCINOMA*
OR
*structural disorders of the endometrium/myometrium:
endometrial POLYPS, leiomyomas, adenomyosis, endometriosis
all CAUSE:
abnormal vaginal bleeding
abnormal vaginal bleeding during gestation
abnormal gestation*
early trimester miscarriage
ectopic gestation
mid/late trimester bleeding
post menopausal vaginal bleeding is considered…
cancer until proven otherwise
adnexal mass
lump in adnexa of uterus (usually FT or ovary)
causes of NON-neoplastic ovarian/tubal disease
PID*
ectopic gestation
cysts: paratubal, ovarian follicle, corpus luteal
endometriosis
Most neoplastic adnexal diseases occur here
ovary
Primary ovarian neoplasms
- epithelial
- sex cord/stromal tumors
- germ cell> dermoid cyst
tumors that are metastatic to the ovary*
appendix
colon
breast
stomach
Common gestational disorders
early trimester miscarriage**
ectopic gestation
abnormal placental implantation
previa, abruption, accreta
what can occur peripartum/postpartum
hemorrhage*
infection
DIC
category?
hydatidiform mole
choriocarcinoma
placental site trophoblastic tumor
trophoblastic neoplasias
HSV transmission
can occur during ASYMPTOMATIC/SUBCLINICAL viral shedding (w/out lesions)
extragenital infections caused by HSV
aseptic MENINGITIS
distant SKIN LESIONS
urinary BLADDER RETENTION (d/t sacral ANS dysfunction)
dx HSV
swabs from UNROOFED vesicles or active ulcers
PCR* for HSV DNA vs. viral culture (50% sensitivity)
most useful for rapid dx of HSV
Tzank smear (can be used w/ pts w/ active genital ulcers in the vesical phase)
used in evaluating HSV to assess risk status for future infection or if pregnant pt is at risk to infect baby
serology
PAP smear test screening ideally samples form what zone
TRANSFORMATION ZONE
spatula/brush device rotates around cervical os than smeared on slide
*1941
what does PAP smear testing take advantage of
CIN disease exfoliates abnormal dysplastic cells for YEARS prior to onset of invasive carcinoma**
allows you to catch it early!
main considerations for abnormal vaginal bleeding in REPRODUCTIVE age women
dysfunctional uterine bleeding**
pregnancy disorders
anatomic lesions (fibroids, polyps, endometriosis)
inherited/acquired hemostasis disorders
chief causes of vaginal bleeding in POST menopausal women
endometrial ATROPHY**
endometrial POLYPS**
endometrial hyperplasia
endometrial carcinoma
percent of women w/ endometrial carcinoma that present w/ abnormal uterine bleeding
75-90%
enendometrial histoloogy grades 1-2
type I carcinoma
