Repro Exam 3 Flashcards
(273 cards)
1
Q
List the criteria for dx of PCOS
A
ovarian dysfunction
clinical evidence of androgen excess
polycytic ovaires
exclusion of other conditons that cause same signs/sx
2
Q
Discuss the pathophysiology underlying PCOS including insulin, steroidal hormones, FSH/LH, metabolic effects, androgen effects and origin, effects on endometrium
A
hyperandrogenism: dysfunctional gonatropin metabolism and excessive androgen production are believed to be downstream consequences of insulin
resistance, deregulation of hypothalamic-pituitary axis (LH/FSH) and possibly
abnormal melatonin levels that hinder LH/FSH balance
Low or
low-normal SHBG with a serum testosterone within the upper end of normal
range may be associated with excess androgen stimulation in target tissues
because of elevated free testosterone
5-alpha reducatse activity is increased
insulin: prompts the ovary theca cells to enhance the synthesis & release of
androgens and indirectly enhance androgen synthesis through modulation of CHO
levels
3
Q
Discuss the ways hyperandrogenism presents clinically from most common to least common
A
hirsutism
acne
male pattern balding
4
Q
What are the mechanisms that underlie CVD in the PCOS patient?
A
Impairment of cardiac structure & function - inc cardiac size & dec ejection
fraction, inc BP
Endothelial dysfunction - likely 2nd to insulin resistance (IR)

Chronic low-grade inflammation
Cardiopulmonary impairment - dec maximal O2 consumption (2 studies
have shown with PCOS pts) – directly related to IR
5
Q
What are the MOA that underlie the development of endometrial hyperplasia and carcinoma in the PCOS patient?
A
Due to anovulation, presence of DM II (hyperinsulinemia) & obesity,
HTN
inc insulin levels associated with inc risk for cancer due to up-regulation of
estrogen-producing aromatase enzyme systems in endometrial glands &
stroma → additive & deleterious results for a pt with both inc insulin &
anovulatory.
inc fasting plasma insulin causes endometrial hyperplasia to advance to
carcinoma 30% of the time.
Anovulation – prolonged exposure to estrogen in the absence of
progesterone.
Dysregulation of endometrial gene expression in PCOS women
accompanies progesterone resistance in the tissue.
Hyperandrogensism – common finding in endometrial cancer. Androgen
receptor & 5α-reductase are present in endometrium with overexpression
of endometrial androgen receptors.
Hypersecretion of LH (modulator of endometrial growth) – evidenced by
ability of LH to promote growth of human endometrial cancer cells in
vitro. LH receptors also are overexpressed in anovulatory PCOS women
with endometrial hyperplasia and carcinoma
