amboss 7/3 Flashcards
1
Q
what is the treatment for PID
A
intramuscular ceftriaxone and oral doxycycline
2
Q
what is the presentation of trichomonas vaginalis
A
anaerobic, motile protozoan with flagella. Patients typically have foul-smelling, frothy, yellow-green, purulent vaginal discharge with a pH > 4.5.
3
Q

A
grey discharge, foul smelling, clue cells and a positive whiff test
5
Q
what is the whiff test

A
douching, intercourse
11
Q
first-line treatment for vulvovaginal candidiasis in pregnancy
A
Intravaginal clotrimazole is a topical antifungal agent. Treatment primarily aims at the relief of symptoms, as candidal vulvovaginitis is not associated with adverse outcomes in pregnancy.
12
Q
what are the screening recommendations for STDs in women

surgical resection poses little risk.
| chemotherapy can be given after the first trimester
28
what should be done for patients with a simple breast cyst
if it is symptomatic, then needle aspiration can reduce the symptoms; if asymptomatic then leave alone and reassure
29
what are the findings for turners syndrome
webbed neck, widely spaced nipples, normal uterus, streak ovaries (gonadal dysgenesis, primary amenorrhea), coarctation of the aorta
30
what causes congenital edema in turners
Dysfunction of the lymphatic system is characteristic of Turner syndrome and typically leads to congenital lymphedema of the hands and feet starting in the neonatal period
31
what is the cause of normal breast development, normal vaginal and ovarian development but NO uterus
mullerian duct agenesis
32
Patients with androgen insensitivity syndrome present
with primary amenorrhea, a blind vaginal pouch, an absent uterus on ultrasonography, and normal breast development. However, patients would not have pubic hair, since the growth of pubic hair is dependent on androgens. Ultrasonography would reveal undescended testicles.
33
what is the presentation of 5-α reductase deficiency
results in reduced amounts of DHT. thus the genitalia form as masculine-feminine, there is no breast development, no uterus or ovaries. the person is genetically male, but has a vagina
34
when do girls undergo normal pubertal changes and what are they
between 8-11. they will begin to develop breasts, have pubic and axillary hair, and begin to have oily skin
35
what is the presentation of aromatase deficiency
Individuals with aromatase deficiency are unable to convert androgens to estrogens. Therefore, karyotypically female (46 XX) patients are born with ambiguous external genitalia and present with female pseudohermaphroditism. They have normal internal genitalia. At the time of puberty, they fail to develop secondary sexual characteristics and typically present with amenorrhea (due to the development of ovarian cysts that impair ovulation) as well as features of virilization due to increased testosterone (e.g., severe acne, hirsutism). Mothers of affected children may develop similar features during pregnancy due to fetal androgens crossing the placenta. In addition to these abnormalities of sex development, female as well as male individuals frequently have a tall stature due to a delayed fusion of the epiphyseal growth plates and signs of osteoporosis (e.g., bone fractures after minor trauma), caused by estrogen deficiency.
36
what can obesity cause
precocious puberty
37
what is the typical developmental course for females
thelarche, pubarche, menarche
| tits, pits, mits, lips

41
Recurrent midcycle, unilateral, lower abdominal pain in an adolescent girl is suggestive of
mittelschmerz.
42
what is the presentation of congenital adrenal hyperplasia
can also lead to peripheral precocious puberty as the excess adrenal androgens are aromatized to estrogen in the ovaries. However, due to a general excess in androgens, females are often born with ambiguous or male external genitalia, and virilization during puberty is common. This girl has normal external genitalia and no evidence of virilization (e.g., male-pattern hair growth).
43
what is precocious puberty without central findings
granulosa cell tumor
44
what are the two types of emergency contraception
include levonorgestrel or ulipristal acetate.

50
what is second line therapy for AUB
tranexamic acid
51
what is the flow of diagnostics for a patient with precocious puberty
must determine bone age first. sifters greater than a year difference then look to LH/FSH. if equivocal or low then GnRH for determining central vs peripheral
IF LH/FSH is HIGH, then MRI
52
Can you give Bactrim to breast feeding women?

70
what is physiologic leukorrhea
non-purulent and does not have a strong odor. It is not irritating and therefore does not cause pruritus. Physiologic leukorrhea is typically seen at the onset of puberty (due to a surge in the levels of estrogen), around the time of ovulation (due to a peak in estrogen levels), prior to menstruation (due to pelvic congestion), and during pregnancy.
71
in a patient > 24 years old with atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US) detected on Pap smear, what is the next step

a benign disease characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue within the uterine wall. Typical symptoms include dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, and chronic pelvic pain that worsens during menstruation. The displaced endometrial tissue can be seen as uniform uterine enlargement and diffuse thickening of the myometrium on transvaginal ultrasound and MRI.
73
what is endometrial hyperplasia
An abnormal thickening of the uterine lining caused by the proliferation of endometrial glands due to estrogen stimulation and insufficient progestin stimulation. Characterized by abnormal uterine bleeding. Suspected when endometrial thickness is > 5 mm on ultrasound in a postmenopausal woman.
74
Endometrial hyperplasia with atypia can progress to
endometrial cancer.

characterized by a decline in functioning oocytes and is most often a normal part of aging, although it can also be the result of an underlying disease or injury to the ovaries. DOR is present in about 10% of women who undergo IVF and does not cause any symptoms, although a shortening of the menstrual cycle is sometimes observed.
108

As a part of the routine immunization schedule, 2 doses of HPV vaccine should be administered 6 months apart to all individuals 11–12 years of age. Current guidelines also recommend vaccination with 3 doses of nine-valent HPV vaccine for all unvaccinated female patients 13–26 years of age. Although the FDA has approved the HPV vaccine for patients up to age 45, it is not routinely recommended for patients > 26 years old by the CDC.
