Q

42 yo G2P2 p/w pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia

  • pain used to be cyclic, now constant
  • regular menses
  • uterus soft and TTP
  • not sexually active in past 10 yrs

Dx
Physical exam findings

A

Adenomyosis- typically in multiparous F over 40 yo
-presents w/ dysmenorrhea and heavy menstrual bleeding that progresses to chronic pelvic pain

PE: boggy, tender, uniformly enlarged uterus

  • fibroids less likely to cause pelvic pain
  • lack of sexual activity makes PID less likely

Q

Post-menopausal F undergoes THBSO, starts to re-experience hot flashes

Why?

Study These Flashcards
A

2/2 Decreased circulating androgens
-ovaries produce androgens (androstenedione and testosterone) which peripherally get converted into estrogen
^also explains why obese F have fewer menopausal symptoms

24
Q

28 yo G0 pap test w/ high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion

Next step?

Study These Flashcards
A

Colposcopy

reflex HPV testing or repeat pap is not enough

25
Tx of septic thrombophlebitis
Transiently add anticoagulation to abx and fever should resolve quickly - suspect septic thrombophlebitis as dx of exclusion for persisting fever - sometimes CT scan will show thrombosed veins
26
Treating hyperthyroid during pregnancy
Use PTU (propylthiouracil)
27
30 yo w/ DM1 (Hgb A1C 9.7) presents at 10 wks, smokes 1/2 ppd What structural abnormality is the fetus at highest risk of developing?
Uncontrolled diabetes during organogenesis => 4-8x increased risk of having a fetus w/ structural anomaly- usually CNS (neural tube defects) and cardiac
28
To confirm ROM, test cervical mucus or vaginal fluid
Important to test vaginal fluid (and not cervical mucus) b/c of false positive ferning patterns
29
When would an elective C-section for pain be performed?
At 39 weeks gestation - NOT at 41 if labor has not already happened - totally a women's choice to undergo elective C-section
30
Benefit of vacuum delivery vs. forceps assisted delivery to the mother
Vacuum deliveries associated w/ less maternal lacerations/discomfort
31
35 yo G4P1021 at 7 wks p/w vaginal bleeding and cramping - 2 early first T losses - s/p stroke - US: empty uterus w/ slightly enlarged irregularly shaped uterus, beta-hCG 23 Most likely cause of this miscarriage?
Hypercoagulability- antiphospholipid syndrome
32
33 yo at 29 wks presents w/ PPROM, next step?
Latency abx- ampicillin and erythromycin | -shown to prolong latency period for 5-7 days, and to reduce maternal amnioitis and neonatal sepsis
33
2 signs of magnesium toxicity and levels at which they occur
High levels of magnesium sulfate can cause diminished or absent DTRS (around 10mg/dl) then respiratory depression (12-15) or cardiac depression (over 15)
34
35 yo G0 p/w 6 mo spotting btwn periods and desire for pregnancy - menorrhagia w/ increased blood loss w/ past 3 menses - TVUS: 2 cm endometrial polp Tx
Hysteroscopic polypectomy -Could do medical management w/ progestin but not if she wants to get pregnant
35
Describe the discharge seen in (a) Trichomonas (b) Candida
Vaginal discharge (a) Trichomonas- yellow-green 'frothy" discharge (b) Candida- thick white 'cottage-cheese' like discharge -neither would cause fever/abdominal pain => think PID if present
36
20 yo at 28 wks presents w/ contractions q4min - 101F, HR 120, BP 110/65, white count 18k - tender uterine fundus w/ otherwise normal exam - 1/50/-3, fetus in vertex - FHT: category I tracing Next step
Fever, tender fundus, white count- c/f intra-amniotic infection (chorio)- only thing is to get the baby out... Next step = labor induction -category I tracing => can induce labor instead of C-sxn
37
60 yo p/w urinary frequency and urge incontinence - cystometrogram: uninhibited detrusor contractions upon filling - normal post void ridicual Best tx
Best tx = oxybutynin (anticholinergic/antimuscarinic) Mechanism of urge incontinence = detrusor instability, overactive bladder (doesn't relax = uninhibited contractions)
38
At what age does a F w/ a hysterectomy no longer need pap smear?
Pap test screening is not indicated in pts who have had a hysterectomy, unless it was done for cervical cancer or a high-grade cervical dysplasia women w/ a uterus can d/c pap smears after 65 if have had 3 consecutive negative smears w/ no hx cervical neoplasia/cancer
39
Tx of baby born to HIV+ mother
Baby gets zidovudine (AZT) immediately after delivery -don't need to wait until 24 hrs of life, at 24 hrs of live HIV testing begins (not at time of delivery)
40
Contraindication to vacuum aspiration instead of D and C
Vacuum aspiration only for under 8 wks of gestation
41
Which type of leiomyomas have the highest risk of infertility
Submucosal and intracavitary -very unlikely for fibroids to cause infertility, but if they do it'll probably be a submucsal or intracavitary: tx w/ hysteroscopic resection then should be able to conceive
42
Postterm pregnancies association w/ (a) placental sulfatase (b) fetal adrenal gland function
Postterm pregnancies (a) placental sulfatase deficiency - placenta is the organ w/ an expiration date! not meant to last that long (b) postterm associated w/ fetal adrenal hypoplasia
43
Risk factors that would indicate DEXA before age 65
- early menopause - glucocorticoid therapy - sedentary lifestyle - EtOH - hyperthryoid, hypereparathryoid - anticonvulsant therapy - vit D deficiency - FHx for early or severe osteoporosis - chronic liver or renal disease
44
Type 1 diabetic w/ A1C of 9.2% is at highest risk for what fetal complication?
Fetal growth restriction - higher risk than macrosomia when this poorly controlled for this long - thought to be 2/2 placental microvasculature disease
45
25 yo G1P1 p/w left breast pain and fever, currently breastfeeding her 2 1/2 week old infant -erythema of the upper outer quadrant of left breast, TTP (a) Dx (b) Tx
(a) Puerperal (aka lactational- in a breastfeeding F) mastitis (b) Tx = abx (oral vs. IV depending on severity) and ibuprophen/acetaminophen for pain relief - don't have to stop breast feeding!!! encourage to keep breast feeding!!!
46
Describe classic presentation of gonorrhea induced PID
Lower abdominal pain, adnexal tenderness, fever, cervical motion tenderness - mucopurulent vaginal discharge - classically w/ exacerbation of symptoms during and after menstruation
47
Risks of phenytoin and carbamazepine in pregnancy
Clinical syndrome called fetal hydantoin syndrome with group of findings: - microcephaly - hypoplasia of phalanges - excess hair, cleft palate
48
What hormone is responsible for breastmilk production?
Prolactin Prolactin is made throughout the pregnancy but its fxn is inhibited by estrogen and progesterone. Post-partum, inhibition of estrogen/progesterone is lifted, prolactin continues to be secreted- and milk is produced
49
28 yo G0 p/w severe endometriosis, failed conservative medical management Best tx option?
Tx = laser ablation of adhesions- wouldn't do hysterectomy/salpingo-oophorectomy in young nulliparous F Sidebar: conservative management is OCPs and analgesia
50
36 yo G0 p/w severe abdominal pain x2-3 days w/ N/D - febrile to 102 - abdomen TTP w/ mild guarding and rebound, elevated white ct - pelvic US: b/l 3-4cm complex masses Dx
Dx = ascending infection causing salpingitis, ultrasound findings consistent w/ tubo-ovarian abscess -most often sexually transmitted: gonorrhea, chlamydia, or any other thing ascending from the GU or GI tract
51
Uterotonic agents: contraindications for methylergonovine vs. prostaglandin F2-alpha
Methylergonovine = methergine, can't use in h/o HTN Prostaglandin F2-alpha = hemabate, can't use in h/o asthma
52
Microscopic evaluation of discharge findings indicative of (a) bacterial vaginosis (b) trichomoniasis
(a) BV: clue cells on saline wet mount - drop of KOH releases amines from the cells => fishy odor (b) trichomoniasis = motile ovoid protozoa w/ flagella trichomonads = unicellular protozoans
53
Use of amitriptyline in pregnancy
Used in pregnancy to treat migraine headaches
54
Associations with breech position
- premature - multiple gestations - polyhydramnios - hydrocephaly - placenta previa - uterine anomalies and fibroids
55
Which features of severe preeclampsia are contraindications to expectant management
Need to deliver if: - thrombocytopenia (plt under 100k) - can't control BP on max doses of two antihypertensives - non-reassuring FHT - AST/ALT above 2x uln - eclampsia - persistent CNS symptoms Can wait if -elevated uric acid and hemoconcentration
