Gyn Stepup Flashcards
(235 cards)
when have all oocytes formed
20 weeks
what causes low FSH LH and androgens in 4-8 yr olds
GnRH suppression
When are initial pubertal changes
8-11 yrs
what time of day are hormones in kids highest
at night
normal events female puberty
adrenarche: adrenal androgens
gonadarche: FSH and LH activation
Thelarche: breast tissue
Pubarche: pibic hair
growth spurt
Menarche: onset menses
what happens in >50 y.o to LH and FSH
increase with onset of ovarian failure
Tanner I
raised nipple and no hair growth yet
Tanner 2
breast budding, areolar enlargement with slight growth of labial hair
Tanner 3
Further breast and areolar enlargement
more hair growth
Tanner 4
areola and nipple form above the breast
hair becomes coarse and spreads over pubic area
Tanner 5
areola recedes and nipple stays out
coarse hair extends to medial thighs
what causes central precocious puberty
early activation of hypothalamic pituitary gonadal axis
precocious puberty age in girls and boys
girls
isosexual precocious puberty
premature development appropriate for gender
heterosexual precocious puberty
virilization/,asculinization firls
feminization boys
girls with virilization is due to CAH, exposure to androgens or androgen secreting neoplasm
what is GnRH stimulation test
give GnRH:
- if LH and FSH increase then central precocious puberty
- if LH and FSH have no response then pseudoprecocious puberty ( peripheral autonomous secretion sex steroids)
labs that suggest ectopic hormone production causing precocious puberty
low LH and FSH with high estrogen
probably noeoplasm or exogenous consumption estrogen
which endocrine path can cause precocious puberty
chronic hypothyroid
what is used for Lh and FSH suppression
GnRH analogues
Tx for precocious puberty caused by CAH
cortisol replacement
complications of precocious puberty
short statures
social and emotional adjustment issues
what peaks right before ovulation
LH
when does progesterone peak
during the luteal phase or proliferative phase
which phase does ovulation occur in
right between end of follicular/proliferative and right before luteal/secretory
