Q

Primary amenorrhea is defined as

A

Primary amenorrhea is the failure of menses to occur by age 15 years (some sources say 16 years), in the presence of normal growth and secondary sexual characteristics (breast development, axillary or pubic hair).

At age 13 years, if no menses have occurredand there is a completeabsence of secondary sexual characteristics, evaluation for primary amenorrhea should begin

Q

MCC of secondary amenorrhea

A

Intrauterine pregnancy is the most common cause of secondary amenorrhea. The first step in the workup of amenorrhea should almost always be a pregnancy test.

Q

On physical exam, there is normal breast maturation. The uterus is not palpable, and this is confirmed by pelvic ultrasound. Karyotype testing is performed and returns as 46 XX. Her serum testosterone levels are within normal limits.

She reports having to shave frequently above the lip, chin, chest, and lower back. Prior to this, she had regular menses. The patient’s weight is 168 lbs. (76.2 kg) and height 5 feet and 1 inch (154.9 cm). On physical examination, there is hair above the lip and chin area. She also has acne on her cheeks and forehead. Hyperpigmented plaques of the skin are found on the nape of her neck. Bilateral enlarged ovaries are palpated on pelvic examination. β-hCG is negative and LH: FSH is 3.

Tx of menopause

A

    • Progestins: Hot flashes, increased risk of breast cancer
  • HRT—severe menopausal symptoms (hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness)
    • “Smallest dose for shortest possible time and annual reviews of the decision to take hormones”
    • HRT should not be used to prevent cardiovascular disease due to slightly increased risk of breast cancer, MI, CVD, DVT

Q

What happens in the luteal phase

A
  • After ovulation, the follicle becomes the corpus luteum, which secretes progesterone and provides negative feedback to FSH and LH

Q

DSM-5 criteria for PMDD

A

In the majority of menstrual cycles, at least five symptoms must be present in the final week before the onset of menses, start to improve within a few days after the onset of menses, and become minimal or absent in the week post menses.

One (or more) of the following symptoms must be present:

  • Marked affective lability (e.g., mood swings; feeling suddenly sad or tearful, or increased sensitivity to rejection).
  • Marked irritability or anger or increased interpersonal conflicts.
  • Marked depressed mood, feelings of hopelessness, or self-deprecating thoughts.
  • Marked anxiety, tension, and/or feelings of being keyed up or on
38
Q

A

Premenstrual syndrome

39
Q

Premenstrual syndrome caused by

A
  • Caused by an imbalance of estrogen and progesterone along with excess prostaglandin production
  • Symptoms during the luteal phase (1-2 weeks before menses) - Bloating, irritability. PMDD- causes marked disruption in functioning.
  • Symptoms resolve at the onset of mense
40
Q

Premenstrual syndrome dx

A

is based on history and physical exam

  • ACOG criteria: Need one of the following symptoms is present during the 5 days before menses and abates within 4 days of the onset of menses
    • Somatic: Breast tenderness, abdominal bloating, headache, edema
    • Affective: Irritability, depression, angry outbursts, anxiety, social withdrawal, confusion
41
Q

Tx of premenstrual syndrome

A

Exercise and stress reduction are beneficial in general and should be recommended on this basis

  • SSRIs are first-line options for women with moderate to severe premenstrual symptoms who do not desire contraception
    • Can be administered as continuous daily therapy or may be used cyclically 2 weeks prior to the menstrual cycle
  • Combined estrogen-progestin oral contraceptive as first-line therapy if contraception is a high priority (stops ovulation and stabilizes hormone levels)
    • Start with a 3 mg drospirenone (DRSP)/20 mcg ethinyl estradiol (EE) COC (Yazmin) with a four-day pill-free interval as the first-line pill
    • If symptom relief with the COC monotherapy is incomplete, an SSRI can be added
  • GnRH agonist therapy: For women who have not responded to or cannot tolerate SSRIs or OCs and continue to experience severe symptoms
  • Surgery (bilateral oophorectomy/bilateral salpingoophorectomy [surgical menopause]) is considered only as a last resort
42
Q

Gonorrhea tx

A

CDC recommends a single 500 mg intramuscular dose of ceftriaxone for uncomplicated gonorrhea. Treatment for coinfection with chlamydia with oral doxycycline (100 mg twice daily for 7 days) should be administered when a chlamydial infection has not been excluded.

43
Q

sx of gonorrhea in women vs men

A

44
Q

Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome

45
Q

How can you differentiate gonococcal urethritis from chlamydial urethritis on examination?

A

Gonorrhea presents with a purulent discharge from the urethra, whereas chlamydia is generally associated with a thinner, white mucous discharge.

46
Q

Dx of gonorrhea

A

Diagnosis is made with Nucleic acid amplification testing (NAAT)

  • For urogenital infections, vaginal swabs in women (clinician-collected and self-collected) and first-catch urine in men are the preferred specimens for NAAT
  • For extragenital infections, NAAT, used on pharyngeal and rectal swabs, is also the preferred test
  • Patients with confirmed gonococcal infection who have persistent symptoms after appropriate therapy with good adherence and lack of re-exposure should be tested for antibiotic resistant N. gonorrhoeae with culture and susceptibility testing
47
Q

Tx of gonorrhea if there is a cephalosporin allergy

A
  • When ceftriaxone cannot be used because of cephalosporin allergy, a single 240 mg IM dose of gentamicin plus a single 2 g oral dose of azithromycin is an option
    • Cefixime 800 mg orally as a single dose is another alternative

59
Q

Sx of chancroid

60
Q

  3. Late-stage with strictures, fibrosis, and fistulae of the anogenital area
64
Q

Dx of Lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV)

A

Diagnosis is by clinical suspicion. Other causes of genital ulceration and inguinal adenopathy should be excluded ⇒ Serologic testing for syphilis—RPR/VDRL

  • The basis for a definitive diagnosis of LGV is on serology tests (complement fixation or micro-immunofluorescence) or identification of Chlamydia trachomatis in genital, rectal, and lymph node specimens
