Miscellaneous Flashcards
(251 cards)
theca lutein cyst:
What is it?
What is the treatment?
- cyst that forms as a result of hyperstimulation by HCG (molar pregnancy)
- WILL RESOLVE ON OWN WITH REMOVAL OF HCG STIMULATION
Immature Cystic Teratoma:
What is it?
What does it look like/present?
What determines the metastatic potential?
- malignant neoplasm with derivatives of all three germ layers, esp neural tissue (won’t have properly formed features though ex: won’t have hair because immature)
- looks similar to mature teratoma
- the amount of immature neural tissue
Define perimenopause
- transition period before menopause (4 years prior until menopause)
- decreased inhibin, increased FSH
- more variable periods, skip 2+ periods
pediculosis pedis
what is it?
presentation?
treatment?
- ectoparasite, skin contact, sex(most contagious std)
- itching, redness, perineal, pubic, perianal distribution, presence of nits
- permethrin
What would be an indication that a resolved hydatidiform mole has persisted and can become malignant?
- if HCG levels do not decrease or plateau off after curretage of pregnancy
scabies
what is it
presentation
treatment?
- ectoparasite, burrows into skin
- pruritis, redness, vesicles, nodules papules
- permethrin
What is the discriminatory zone?
What are common values for the discriminatory zone for transvaginal ultrasound vs abdominal ultrasound
- threshold bHCG level by which gestational sac can be visualized on ultrasound
- transvaginal- 1500- 2000
- abdominal- 5000- 6000
What would necessitate immediate scrotal exploratory surgery?
Testicular Fracture
High suspicion of Torsion
Penetrating scrotal trauma
For 5a reductase deficiency:
- what is the karyotype?
- what are the external genitalia?
- mullerian ducts present?
- wolffian ducts present?
- body features?
- 46 XY
- external genitalia female/ambiguous (little to no DHT, so no male differentiation)
- mullerian ducts absent
- wolffian ducts present
- decreased body hair/no palpable prostate
What are the 3 types of vaginal prolapse?
anterior wall (cystocele), posterior wall (rectocele), apical prolapse
What is Lichen simplex chronicus? What does it present as? What causes it?
- benign dermatologic condition
- thickened, leathery vulvar region
- “itch that causes a rash” (itching continually will cause rashing)
- itching can be caused by lichen sclerosis, candidiasis, heat, sweating, irritation, topical agents
What is septic abortion?
How does it present?
- serious infection after spontaneous or induced abortion
- fever, hemorrhage, shock, pain, incomplete removal of fetal contents
If a patient already uses a medication that is a cytochrome p450 inducer, which contraceptives should you not use in these patients? what contraceptive can you use?
- DON’T USE HORMONAL CONTRACEPTIVES (metabolized by same cp450s, won’t work)
- copper IUD effective
What is the bell clapper deformity? What does it put you at risk for?
- tunica vaginalis inserts abnormally high
- puts you at risk for testicular torsion
The ____ space allows for substantial nutrients necessary for rapid growth of the fetus
intervillous space
(spills from uterine spiral arteries), between villi
Ovarian mucinous cystadenoma:
What is it?
pathology?
presentation?
- benign neoplasm, unilateral
- mucin filled, glandular cells, septated/multilocular, CAN BE V LARGE
- pelvic pain, pressure, distended abdomen (USE CT)
- less malignant potential than serous
placenta previa:
what is it?
how does it present
how can it be found?
is this a concern?
what puts you at risk for it?
- placenta implants on internal cervical os (complete, marginal, low- lying
- PAINLESS bleeding
- ultrasound (transvaginal)
- no, most spontaneously resolve (previous c section increases risk)
- uterine surgery, previous previa, multiparous, smoking
treatment for PID
- outpatient: ceftriaxone and doxycycline
- inpatient: parental cifoxitin and doxycycline (+/- metronidazole if bacterial vaginosis present)
What is the most effective contraception? What is the least effective?
most effective- implant
least effective- oral contraception (not reliably taken)
uterine adenosarcoma
what is it
what is its two parts?
- low grade tumor
- benign epithelial and malignant sarcoma
rarely high grade
What is main metabolic substrate for the placenta?
Which layer of the placenta is responsible for making HCG, estrogen, progesterone, and hPL (aka everything)?
- glucose
- syncytiotrophoblast
mixed causes of hypogonadism in men
- Severe illness/malnutrition
- Alcohol excess
- Glucocorticoid excess (Rx or Cushing’s)

- 30-36 hours
- 10-12 hours
What is Depo-Provera?
- injectable progestin (think “DEPOsit PROgesterone into your skin)
- inhibits ovulation, thickens mucus, thins endometrium
- can decrease bone density, but will go back to normal as soon as you stop using it
