398
Percent of pregnancies that were unwanted but women not using birth control
40%
399
Coitus Interruptus
Pull out method Very ineffective - very high failure rates Semen can leak out before orgasm Not recommended
400
Postcoital Douche
Fluch semen out of vagina Not reliable - sperm are fast Not recommended
401
Lactational amenorrhea
Suckling to reduce GnRH to suppress ovulation Pregnancy rate of 7.4% after 12 months - less effective with time Need to be amenorrheic Start other birth control at 3 months postpartum
402
Periodic abstinence
Calendar methods - 11-25% failure rate May be related to birth defects
403
Most effective determinant for ovulation
serum LH - not practical
404
Fertile period for periodic abstinence
2 days before and after ovulation - not very reliable
405
Temperature method of birth control
Check temp in the morning first three days of elevated temperature after drop are the fertile period
406
Failure rate of combined temp/calendar method
5 per 100 couples per year - if consistent, need to be consistent
407
Cervical mucous method

409
2 types of OCP
Combo or Progestin only pills
410
Combination OCPs

430
Levonorgesterol alone
Plan B - OTC Single dose of 1500mcg Within 72 hours ideally, stops LH surge - not useful if already ovulated
431
Ulipristal
Ella - OTC Single dose of 30mg Within 72 hours recommended Prevents LH surge - slightly better than plan B

450
Contraceptive sponge
Nonoxyl-9 impregnated disk Inserted up to 24 hours before and keep in 6hrs post coitus Less effective than condom
451
Lamb skin condoms
Don't protect against STD's - latex DO

May prevent STDs, not as effective as a male condom
453
DIaphragm and Spermicide
Rubber dome over cervix Must use the spermicide 6 hours before and 24 hour max placement 6 per 100 with perfect use 15-20 per 100 with typical use

460
Chemical tubal occlusion
Usually not done in US, never approved - seen in immigrants
461
Vasectomy
30x less failure, 20x less post-op complications Need 1-2 consecutive sperm counts of zero to confirm it is working Easier reversal
462
Suction curettage
Elective abortion performed 12 weeks for earlier 90% of US abortions Cervical dilation and suction catheter insertion
463
Surgical curettage
Scrape out fetal parts - more bleeding less common than suction
464
Phamraceutical abortion
(Mifepristone OR methotrexate) and/or Misoprostol Used in first trimester SE of cramping/bleeding CI in active liver/renal disease, anemia, bleed risk, IBF -may not expel everything
465
Intraamniotic instillation
Hypertonic solution put into uterus to kill the fetus - lots of side effects
466
Vaginal prostaglandins
For elective abortions - suppository containing misoprostal etc. to trigger preterm delivery Can cause GI side effects, live abortion
467
MOA of misoprostol
Causes uterine contractions and cervicle ripening Used for abortions and induction
468
Dilation and evacuation
Most common elective abortion for 2nd trimester Cervical ripening agents used and forceps to break up tissue Infection and blood loss - does not feel like a delivery
469
Post abortion follow up
Rho-Gam Avoid anything intravaginal for 2 weeks Birth control 2+ elective abortions lead to higher risk of miscarriage

477
Predisposing factors for menopause
Smoking advances by 2 years Reproductive tract disease GU infections Chemo or radiation Surgical impairment to ovarian blood supply
478
Artificial menopause
We do something that destroys the ovaries or take them out May be due to endometriosis, cancer
479
Postmenopausal androgens
Decreased production, but still have androgenic symptoms because ovaries make some testosterone and binding protein is not produced
480
Gonadotropins in menopause
Increase because no estrogen - can be used for diagnosis
481
Common classic menopause symptoms
Irregular bleeding Irritability and mood swings Vaginal dryness Decreased libido Hot flashes Hair loss Hirsutism Weight gain
482
Physical changes of menopause
Atrophy of cervix, uterus, tubes Flattening of vaginal rugae

485
Diagnosis of atrophic vaginitis
Clinical dx - may see atrophic cells in cytology
486
Initial tx for atrophic vaginitis
Conservative first Vaginal moisturizers AND lubricants - not the same thing Moisturizers daily - not just for sex
487
Treatment for moderate/severe atrophic vaginitis
Vaginal estrogen, restores pH and microflora Fewer UTIs and overactive bladder symptoms Can go systemic DOn't need a vaginal estrogen if systemic
488
Ospemifene

495
First line for patients who don't want hormones for hot flashes
SNRI/SSRI Citalopram or Venlafaxine, Paroxetine but it reacts with tamoxifen Gapapentin, Clonidine can also be used
496
Protections of estrogen alone
CHD Fractures Diabetes Not used to treat these conditions
497
Risks of MHT (Hormone therapy

499
MHT contraindication
Hx of breast cancer Unknown bleeding Endometrial cancer Thromboembolic disease Liver dysfunction Pregnancy
500
1st line MHT for vasomotor symptoms of menopause

501
Starting MHT
Increase at one month intervals if still symptomatic Recommended not to use for more than 5 years - taper
502
Progesterone only therapy for menopause
Can be oral or IM if we don't want estrogen
503
Tissue selective estrogen complex
SERM and estrogen Reduces some of the risk of using a progesterine

Oral estrogen and levonorgestrel IUD
May or may not help reduce risk of breast cancer - dubious
505
