gyn procedures Flashcards
LSIL - LEEP procedure indicated?
no f/u with repeat pap in 6 months

+ endocervical curettage, HSIL lesion too big for LEEP, lesion extends into endocervical canal beyond vision, r/o invasive cancer
cervical cancer tx
radical hysterectomy
IUD for endometriosis
Levonorgestrel IUD
thelarche
breast budding
adrenarche
hair growth
menarche
onset of menses
order of puberty
thelarche, adrenarche, growth spurt, menarche
weight required for menses
85-105 lbs
Noonan’s syndrome - physical chracteristics
short stature, webbed neck, heart defects, abnormal faces and delayed puberty
Noonan’s syndorme - karyotype
normal
Turner syndrome - karyotype
XO
Turner syndrome - physical characteristics
pterygium colli, shield chest and cubitus valgus
Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser Syndrome
vaginal/uterine agenesis
Kallmann syndrome
olfactory tract hypoplasia and the arcuate nucleus does not secrete GnRH
Kallmann syndrome - tx for no puberty
pulsatile GnRH therapy
true precocious puberty
diagnosis of exclusion, sex steroids increased by hypothalamic, pituitary, gonadal axis with increased pulsatile GnRH secretion
precocious puberty - CNS causes
tumors (astrocytoma, glioma, germ cell tumors secreting hCG), hypothalamic hamatomas, injury (surgery, trauma, radiation, inflammation, abscess), congenital (hydrocephalus, arachnoid cysts, suprasellar cysts)
McCune Albright
premature menses BEFORE breast/pubic hair development
true precocious puberty - tx
if not within several months o expected puberty, GnRH agonist to suppress axis (non-pulsatile = suppression)
congenital adrenal hypoplasia - mechanism
21-hydroxylase type results in the adrenal being unable to produce adequate cortisol as a result of a partial block in the conversion of 17-hydroxyprogesterone to desoxycorticosterone, with the accumulation of adrenal androgens
congenital adrenal hypoplasia - outcome
precocious adrearche
congenital adrenal hypoplasia - tx
steroid replacement
congenital adrenal hypoplasia, premature adrenarche, some then develop ___ in adlescence
PCOS
normal ages for menarche
9 - 17
pt with uterine agenesis, look for __
Renal anomalies occur in 25-35% of females with Mullerian agenesis
most common lower genital tract malformation
imperforate hymen
short vagina and pelvic mass on exam
iperforate hymen/vaginal or cervical agenesis
weight loss - hypothalamic dysfunction - lack of pulsatile GnRH - pituitary doesnt secrete LH/FSH
hypothalamic pituitary dysfunction
causes of hypothalamic-pituitary amenorrhea
functional (weight loss, obesity, excessive exercise), drugs (marijuana and tranquilizers), neoplasia (pituitary adenomas), psychogenic (chronic anxiety and anorexia nervosa), and certain other chronic medical conditions
PCOS tx
OCPs
PCOS desiring pregnancy - tx
clomiphene
most common cause of amenorrhea
pregnancy
Mayer-Rokitansky-Kϋster-Hauser syndrome - aka…
Mullerian agenesis - congenital absence of vagina (absence of allopian tubes/uterus), ovaries are present and functioning (secondary characteristics of puberty occur at appropriate time)
Asherman’s syndrome - causes
endometritis or curettage
Sheehan’s syndroe - cause
postpartum hemorrhage, pituitary apoplexy
initial laboratory assessment for a patient with amenorrhea and no other symptoms or findings on physical exam
prolactin
if elevated prolactin - order
brain MRI
if first round of labs are normal - order…
17-hydroxyprogesterone, LH, FSH
short duration hirsutism, high DHEAS, normal testosterone
adrenal tumor
patient with suspected PCOS, what need to r/o?
late-onset 21-hydroxylase deficiency
PCOS - hat lab is abnormal?
testosterone
what use to treat hirsutism? why?
OCPs - establish regular menses and lower ovarian androgen production
test to evaluate Cushing’s disease?
dexamethasone suppression test or a 24-hour urinary measurement for cortisol can be performed
Sertoli-Leydig tumors - age at dx?
20-40
Sertoli-Leydig - side?
unilateral
Rapid onset of hirsutism and virilizing signs are hallmarks of this disease, and include many of the findings in this patient including acne, hirsutism, amenorrhea, clitoral hypertrophy, and deepening of the voice.
Sertoli-Leydig tumor
Abnormal laboratory findings include suppression of FSH and LH, marked elevation of testosterone, and presence of an ovarian mass.
Sertoli-Leydig tumor
causes of virilization (5)
PCOS, hypothyroidism, androgen producing tumors (ovarian, adrenal, or pituitary), and anabolic steroid use. A rare cause may be late onset CAH
hyperthecosis - definition
more severe form of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS
hyperthecosis - symptoms
virilization due to the high androstenedione production and testosterone levels. In addition to temporal balding, other signs of virilization include clitoral enlargement and deepening of the voice
hyperthecosis - tx
more difficult to treat with OCPs
hirsutism - tx (in addition to OCP) - how does it help?
Spironolactone, an aldosterone antagonist diuretic
endometriosis - medical tx
Danazol
2nd line tx for hirsutism
lupron, depo-provera
progestin withdrawal
sloughing of endometrium
involution of corpus luteum
progestin withdrawal
inhibin in luteal phase?
increases
method to evaluate abnormal bleeding?
pelvic u/s
observation of endometrial polyp NOT recommended when?
> 1.5cm
management of endometrial polyp
observation, medical management with progestin, curettage, surgical removal (polypectomy) via hysteroscopy, and hysterectomy
irregular, heavy vaginal bleeding - study/test? why?
endometrial biopsy - to r/o endometrial hyperplasia or carcinoma
LH and FSH in PCOS?
elevated (high ovarian androgen production = high estrogen)
why is T high in PCOS?
sex hormone binding globulin is low b/c high circulating androgens = high free/active T
workup for irregular/heavy vaginal bleeding
TSH, Prolactin, pelvic ultrasound and endometrial biopsy
cause of midcycle bleeding?
drop in estrogen at time of ovulation
dysmennorrhea - tx
NSAIDs, OCPs
how do OCPs help dysmenorrhea?
progestin = endometrial atrophy (endometrium = where PGEs are made = fewer = less pain)
