Most common ovarian cancer
Serous Carcinoma
Simple cysts in young woman
follicular or corpus luteal
Bladder palpable after urination
urinary overflow
Signs of labor
Regular and painful uterine contractions, shedding mucos plus, ROM, shortening and dilation of cervix
Stages of Labor Stage 1:
onset of true labor to when cervix is fully dilated
10-16 hours in primigravida
latent phase: 0-3 cm dilation
Active phase: 3-10 cm
Stage 2 labor
From full dilation to delivery of fetus
Passive second stage: absence of pushing
Active second stage: maternal pushing
> 1 hour- ventouse extraction, forceps or C section
Stage 3
from delivery of fetus to when the placenta and membrane have completely delivered
Management of GBS
intrapartum Antibiotics such as Benzylpenicillin
Breech babies at or after 36 weeks
USS at 6 weeks
Reduce size of fibroid using
GNRH analogues
Mefenamic Acid
treat dysmenorrhea and Heavy menstrual bleeding
transxamic Acid
Menorrhagia and excessive blood loss

Placental abruption
What ovarian tumour is related to Endometrial Hyperplasia
Granulosa cell tumour
Investigation of choice in Ectopic pregnancy
TVUS
Medical management of Miscarriage
Misoprostol
Known Previa going to labour prior to elective C-section
conduct an emergency c section
Spirometry in IPF- FEV1, FEV1/FVC and TLCO

Gold standard diagnosis for placenta previa
TVUS
Management of Post parturition Hemorrhage
1st line: IV syntocinon (oxytocin) or IV ergometrine
2nd line: carboprost
Surgical management: Intrauterine balloon tamponade - Uterine Atony is the cause
Pre-eclampsia Features
