diagnostics for fibroids
D&C
saline hysteroscopy
hysterosalpinography
laparascopy
54
why would you get LFTs in a pt with dub
You rule out liver disease that would cause them to not make clotting factors. So the bleeding is because of coagulopathy issues.
55
why are OCP CI with livr disease

56
liver disease that happens in pregnancy
Cause also in pregnancy when estrogen levels are extremely high it can precipitate intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP)

60
_________ is the most common type of endometrial carcinoma.
Adenocarcinoma is the most common type of endometrial carcinoma. In the US, 80% of endometrial carcinomas are of this type. Longer exposure to estrogen (i.e., early menarche, late menopause, and diabetes) is a risk factor for carcinoma.
61
_______ is a choice for a patient with symptomatic fibroids who would like to maintain fertility
Myomectomy is a choice for a patient with symptomatic fibroids who would like to maintain fertility and retain the uterus. There is, however, a significant risk for recurrence of leiomyomas
62
HSIL is associated with a high risk of ____
what is the managment
HSIL is associated with a high risk of CIN 2,3 or cervical cancer. In women 25 and older management with immediate colposcopy or LEEP is based upon these risks.
Immediate cervical ablation should not be performed because ablative procedures do not provide a specimen for diagnostic evaluation.
63
at what age group would you not do diagnostic procedure for HSIL
the recommendations for follow-up for abnormal cervical screening results differ for women ages 21 to 24 years from those for women 25 and older.
They advise a diagnostic excisional procedure only if abnormal results are severe or recurrent.

In patients with irregular cycles, secondary to chronic anovulation, or oligo-ovulation, combined oral contraceptive (COC) pills help to prevent the risks associated with prolonged unopposed estrogen stimulation of the endometrium.
73
what would you do for a pt with anovulatory cycles and a CI to COC
Treatment with cyclic progestins for days 16 through 25 following the first day of the most recent menstrual flow is preferred when OCP use is contraindicated, such as in smokers older than age 35 and women at risk for thromboembolism.
74
how to treay leiomyoma bleeding
The heavy bleeding that typically accompanies fibroid tumors can be minimized by using intermittent progestin supplementation (depot methodroxyprogesterone acetate 150 mg IM every 28 days) and/or prostaglandin synthetase inhibitors.

One recommended outpatient treatment is Ofloxacin 400 mg once daily for 14 days; with or without metronidazole 500 mg twice daily for 14 days.
76
what are symptoms of a ovarian cyst and what is indicated
Symptoms associated with a functional ovarian cyst include mild to moderate unilateral pain and alteration in the menstrual cycle. On occasion, rupture of the follicular cyst causes acute pelvic pain and may need laparoscopic surgery for complete evaluation. In most cases, pain control for 4 to 5 days is what is indicated as well as the consideration of contraception to suppress future ovarian cyst formation.
77
A very firm ovarian mass estimated at 8 cm is found in a 33-year-old woman at her annual examination. what would you expect
The size and firmness of the ovarian mass suggests endometrioid carcinoma, a tumor in which the potential for malignancy is 100%

While awaiting a surgical suite for an emergency cesarean section, which of the following agents would be most appropriate to administer?
umbilial cord prolapse --->
Emergency cesarean section is the standard obstetrical management.

A 32-year-old woman is having abnormal uterine bleeding for several weeks after a normal vaginal delivery. Serum human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) levels are tested and found to be elevated. They remain elevated at persistently low levels when retested after two months. A pelvic ultrasound reveals a hyperechoic intrauterine mass. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?
Placental site trophoblastic tumors cause very low, persistent levels of hCG. These are malignant tumors that most commonly occur after a non-molar abortion or pregnancy.

She states she does not remember the date of her last menstruation and that her cycles are irregular. A home pregnancy test this morning was negative as is the in-office urine pregnancy test. Which of the following is the best next step in confirming pregnancy?
A urine pregnancy test 14 days after last intercourse would minimize the possibility of a false negative. False negatives are most likely caused by performing the test too soon after conception. A serum test is the most sensitive test, but results are not immediately available and there is an increased cost associated with the serum test. A repeat urine test is readily available and may eliminate the need for the serum test.
