**pts 50-75
according to the USPSTF can you screen for colon cancer by a high sensitivity fecal occult blood every year and NOT have to do colonoscopy/signoidoscopy

agreed on by all 3 ppl: ACOG, USPSTF, ACS
what HPV causes...

1. ACOG: ---

2. USPSTF- 65 unless high risk

3. ACS- 70 yo w/3 - results, or no + w/i past 10 years
how long btwn papsmears

1. ACOG
2. USPSTF
3. ACS
1. ACOG- annual <30, >30 q 2-3 years after 3 consucetive negs

2. USPSTF- q3 years

6 11 16 18
6, 11-warts
1618 cancer
do you give women w/total hysterrectomy pap smears
not indicated
ok so pap smear = HPV testing

when do you test for HPV

1. ACOG
2. USPSTF
3. ACS
ACOG and ACS are the same

*test all women >30 get it done ~ q3 years

**the HPV DNA test is MUCH more sensitive than the normal PAP cytology
shoudl a 25 yo female w/1 monomogous lifetime sex partner get HPV teste
dont test until >30 according to ACOG and ACS
whats dysmenorrhea
painful periods that PREVENT ADL, can be associated with diarrhea, nausea, vomit, HA, dizzy

can be primary: excess PG (younger women)
can be secondary: endometriosis, PID, adhesions, leioyomas, (older women)
what causes 1 dysmenorrhea
what causes 2 dysmenorreha

**what is the clinical od dysmenorrhea
Primary: excess PG, more common in younger. Tx w/NSAIDS

Secondary: endometriosis, adenomyosis, PID, adhesions, leiomyomas, more common in older women. Tx the cause

**PAINFUL periods that prevent ADL, associated with diarrhea, NV, HA, dizzy
what is the tx for 1 nad 2 dysmenorrhea
Primary- tx w/NSAIDS, PG inhibitors, topical. heat pack, OCP to prevent ovulation

Secondary: tx the initial cause- can be endometriosis, adenoleiyloma, PID, adhesions, leilymoma
what is the def of primary and secodnary amenorrhea
PRIMARY: NO period by 13 w/o sexual development OR 15 w/o period but does have sex characteristics

SECONDARY: NO menses for 3-6 months. most commonly caused by PREGNANCY
secondary amenorrhea is no period for 3-6 months. what are some common causes of this
1. PREGNANCY
2. hypothalamic,
3 pituitary,
4. ovarian,
5anovulation,
6 outflow tract issue
Oligomenorrhea
Hypomenorrhea
Polymenorrhea
Menorrhagia

Polymenorrhea: FREQUENT blooding

Menorrhagia: regular cycle, HEAVY flow

Metrorrhagia: bleeding btwn, irregular cycle

Menometrorragia: inpredicitble and heavy
why might an increase in PG be the cause of a young woman with dysmenorrhea
PG stim SM mm to contract. dilator, plagelet inhibitor (heavy_
what are the MOST common causes of primary amenorrhea
1. Ovarian failure. Turners XO
2. Congenitcal absence of uterus/vagina
3. GnRH deficit- Kallman anosmia
4. Constitutinal delay
most common cause of secondary amenorrhea
pregnancy!



can also be PCOS
Hypothalamic dysfx
hyperprolactinemia
ovarian failure
how does a lesion in the hypothalamus that decreases GnRH affect menses?
What are some things that fall into this category
2 amenorrhea

**no GnRh --> no LH, FSH --> no stim on uterine lining for menses

1. Strenous exercise
2 weight loss/anorexia
3 hypothalamic lesion/trauma
4. GnRH secreting tumor like acromegaly (this does - feedback)
-no ovulation
how will exercise/weight loss affect menses
these both will act at hypothalamus to decrease GnRH --> decrease FSH, LH --> no menses no ovulation
what is the main category of 2 amenorrhea bc of PITUITARY reasons
HYPERprolactin!

1. preggo
2. galactorrhea- milk coming out/BREASTfeeding
3. drugs
if you are breastfeeding why dont youlactate
hyperprolactinemia shuts down the pituitary so no LH, FSH get out
if you have 2 amenorrhea bc of ovarian failure what is increased? what is the classification based on pts age
FSH!!! its working from pit but not being recognized by ovary

>40 menopause
<40 premature ovarian failure
ok so your 35 yo woman comes in with no period and is NOT preggo. Her FSH is elevated. whats the deal
Premature ovarian failure
can too many androgens be the cause of a secondary amenorrhea
YES!!

1. PCOS
2. Adult onset congenital adrenal hyperplasia
3. cushing syndrome
4. thyroid disease
5. acromegaly- GnRH releasing tumor
6. Androgen secreting tumor
whats WU for pt w/ 2 amenorrhea
1. PREGGO TEST, PREGGO TEST, PREGGO TEST

2. Hx
3. PE- do they HAVE a uterus/vagina
4. prolactin
5. TSH, FSH, LH
your 37 yo female is not having a period and her preg test is NEG, what lab do you order next
TSH, Prolactin

TSH abnormal- thyroid problem
Prolactin abnormal- pit problem
BOTH normal- do progesterone challenge
your pt is not menstruating, she is NOT preggo. TSH notmal and prolactin is

1. <100
2. >100
<100: breast feed, hypothyroid, meds

>100: no pit, pit adenoma
no period and elevated TSH indicates...
thyroid disease

HYPOthyroid can normal TSH and prolactin <100
ok so our pt is NOT having a period but has normal TSH, prolactin, adn a neg preggo test

she is given progesterone and there is withdrawal bleeding, what can be the cause
1. hyperandronergic
2. acromegaly
androgen secreting tumor
cushings
exogenous androgens
PCOS
out pt is not having periods she is NOT preggo. TSH, prolactin are normal, progesterone does NOT cause withdrawal bleed but estrogen/progesterne DOES cause withdrawal bleed
1. Anorexia, bulemia
2. CNS tumor
3. chronic liver disease
4. chronic renal insufficiency
5. inflamm bowel
6. thyroid disease
7. exercise, weight loss
etc
etc
