Q

Why does the Mirena lead to light bleeding/amenorrhoea?

A

This is because the Mirena intrauterine system (IUS) releases a small amount of the hormone levonorgestrel into the uterus. This hormone has multiple effects, one of which is to thin the lining of the uterus which reduces menstrual flow and can lead to amenorrhoea in some women. Initially, this may cause irregular spotting or light bleeding but over time (usually within 3-6 months), periods tend to become lighter and less painful, and some women stop having periods altogether.

Q

Give the main adverse effect of the nexplanon implant.

A

Irregular menstrual bleeding. The Nexplanon implant, which contains the progestin etonogestrel, mainly functions by inhibiting ovulation. However, it also alters the endometrium and cervical mucus, which can lead to changes in menstrual bleeding patterns. According to UK guidelines, up to 1 in 5 women may experience amenorrhoea after a year of use, while others may have frequent or prolonged bleeding.

Q

What is placenta praevia?

A

Placenta praevia refers to a pathological positioning of the placenta in the lower segment of the uterus, either wholly or partly. If the placenta overlies the internal cervical os then this is classed as ‘major praevia’, whereas in ‘minor’ or ‘partial’ praevia it does not. Bleeding from the placenta can occur spontaneously, as a result of trauma, or at the onset of labour as the cervix opens.

A

Patients with diabetes (type 1 and 2) should take aspirin 75mg daily from 12 weeks gestation to reduce the risk of pre-eclampsia. They are also at higher risk of neural tube defects, therefore should take the higher dose of folic acid, 5mg daily, whilst trying to conceive until 12 weeks gestation. Pregnant women who have risk factors such as this should be referred at booking to Consultant lead antenatal care.

79
Q

How does nexplanon prevent pregnancy/

A

Inhibition of ovulation. Nexplanon, also known as the etonogestrel contraceptive implant, primarily works by inhibiting ovulation. The progestogen component in Nexplanon suppresses the mid-cycle surge in luteinising hormone (LH), preventing the release of an egg from the ovaries. This is its primary method of contraception.

80
Q

How do we treat large uterine fibroids in infertility

A

The only effective treatment for large fibroids causing problems with fertility is myomectomy if the woman wishes to conceive in the future

81
Q

What increases the risk of ovarian cancer?

A

risk factors relate to increased number of ovulations

82
Q

Why do we give GnRH agonists with fibroids?

A

For patients with uterine fibroids, GnRH agonists e.g. leuprolide may reduce the size of the fibroid but are typically useful for short-term treatment

83
Q

When can we give the EllaOne emergency pill?

A

Levonelle is most effective if taken within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse (it may be used until 96 hours but its effectiveness decreases over time) and can be used more than once during a menstrual cycle. ellaOne (ulipristal acetate) is effective if taken within 120 hours of unprotected intercourse. Previously it was advised that ulipristal could only be used once during a menstrual cycle. However, this guidance has now changed. Please see the link for more details.

The copper intrauterine device would be a viable alternative but did not appear on the list of options.

84
Q

How do we manage mothers at higher risk of GBS?

A

Maternal intravenous antibiotic prophylaxis should be offered to women with a previous baby with early- or late-onset GBS disease

85
Q

Can you give COCP to smokers?

A

Combined oral contraceptive pills (COCPs) are contraindicated in women over 35 years old who smoke more than 15 cigarettes per day due to the significantly increased risk of cardiovascular events, such as myocardial infarction and stroke.

86
Q

What is a monochorionic twin pregnancy?

A

In a monochorionic twin pregnancy the two fetuses share a single placenta, meaning that blood can flow between the twins.

87
Q

What is TTTS?

A

Twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome
In TTTS, one fetus, the ‘donor’ receives a lesser share of the placenta’s blood flow than the other twin, the ‘recipient’. This is due to abnormalities in the network of placental blood vessels. The recipient may become fluid-overloaded whilst the donor can become anaemic. One fetus may have oligohydramnios and the other may have polyhydramnios as a result of differences in urine production, causing additional problems.

88
Q

How do you manage PPROM in a 30w mother?

A

This woman is only 32 weeks gestation and it could be that she is going into labour with the rupture of the membranes. You therefore want to admit her and treat her with steroids to promote lung maturation of the baby. Because of the risk of sepsis and post-natal infection you would want to treat with antibiotics, currently erythromycin is recommended, but always consult your hospital guidelines. If a swab isolated Group B streptococcus you would treat with penicillin and clindamycin, but again, consult your hospital guidelines. If the woman does not progress to labour, she may be able to be managed at home and advised to take her temperature every 4-8 hours and to return to the hospital if she spikes a temperature. You should consider delivery at 34 weeks where the risks of infection may outweigh the risk of prematurity now you have allowed the lungs to mature.

89
Q

Why do we give folic acid to 12w of pregnancy?

A

Neural tube defects tend to arise within the time-frame of the folic acid prescription, i.e. 12 weeks. Hence no need for folate after 12 weeks.
Meanwhile, vitamin D is for the whole pregnancy.

90
Q

When would you consider gonadal dysgenesis?

A

Raised FSH/LH in primary amenorrhoea

91
Q

What is Kallman syndrome?

A

Kallmann syndrome is a congenital form of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, caused by an abnormally functioning hypothalamus. Patients with Kallmann syndrome may present similarly to the above case, but blood results would show low GnRH, FSH, and LH. Exam questions also often mention an absence of the sense of smell, which can be seen in Kallmann syndrome.

92
Q

What is the SSRI of choice in pregnant women

A

Sertraline or paroxetine

93
Q

How do we treat gestational diabetes if diet/metformin hasn’t been sufficient?

A

The neonate has congenital rubella syndrome with the classic triad of sensorineural deafness, eye abnormalities and congenital heart disease. The foetus is particularly at risk if the maternal primary infection occurs in the first trimester of pregnancy.

99
Q

How do we manage premature labour?

A

This woman is now in premature labour, although at 3cm dilated it is still in an early stage. Therefore, it may be stopped by administering tocolytic medication. In case the labour continues and delivery is required, steroids are given as a pre-emptively to help the foetal lungs mature.

100
Q

What is the Mirena IUS?

A

Levonorgestrel

101
Q

What is Erb’s palsy?

A

Erb’s palsy occurs due to damage to the upper brachial plexus most commonly from shoulder dystocia. Damage to these nerve roots results in a characteristic pattern: adduction and internal rotation of the arm, with pronation of the forearm. This classic physical position is commonly called the ‘waiter’s tip’.
