What to see under microscope in bacterial vaginosis

A) Cell with multiple inclusion


B) Giant cell

Demonstration of clue cells on a saline smear is the most specific criterion for diagnosing BV. Clue cells are vaginal epithelial cells that have bacteria adherent to their surfaces. The edges of the squamous epithelial cells, which normally have a sharply defined cell border, become studded with bacteria. The epithelial cells appear to be peppered with coccobacilli.

40 year-old female, completed her family. She has endometrioma. Presented complaining of mild dysmenorrhea and severe pain during intercourse. What is the most appropriate management?


A. Removal of the cyst and ablation of the endometriosis lesions


B. TAH + BSO

TAH + BSO

Definitive surgery — Definitive surgery involves hysterectomy, with or without removal of the fallopian tubes and ovaries. Definitive, rather than conservative, surgery for treatment of endometriosis should be considered when (1) incapacitating symptoms persist following conservative surgery and medical therapy, (2) moderate to severe disease is present and future pregnan


cy is not desired, or (3) hysterectomy is indicated for coexisting pelvic pathology [ 1 ]. The decision to perform a definitive procedure is primarily dependent upon the patient's interest in maintaining child-bearing potential.

Postmenopausal women with bone metastasis, BMD T score -3. Came with vertebral fractures. What is your appropriate management?

A. Estrogen


B. Bisphosphonate

Bisphosphonate



postmenopausal with fragility fracture or DXA T-score <-2.5

A 14 years female, with 6 month history of lower mid abdominal pain , the pain is colicky radiate to the back and upper thigh, begin with onset of manse and last for 2-4 days, , physical examination of abdomen and pelvis normal, normal secondary sex development, what is the most likely diagnosis?

A) Primary dysmenorrhea


B) Secondary dysmenorrhea.

Primary dysmenorrhea

Primary dysmenorrhea refers to the presence of recurrent, crampy, lower abdominal pain that occurs during menses in the absence of demonstrable disease that could account for these symptoms.




Secondary dysmenorrhea has the same clinical features, but occurs in women with a disorder that could account for their symptoms, such as endometriosis, adenomyosis, or uterine fibroids.

Premenstrual syndrome :

A) More in the first half of menses


B) More in the 2nd half of menses

Pregnant woman..what type of fibroid will put her in high risk of Miscarriage? A. Submucosa B. Intramural

????


They answered intramural


- Intramural fibroids, the most common, grow in the wall of the uterus.


● Subserosal fibroids grow on the outside of the uterus. As they grow larger, they can cause pain due to their size or pressure put on nearby organs.


- Submucosal fibroids grow just underneath the uterine lining and can crowd into the uterus cavity and lead to heavy bleeding and other more serious complications.


- Pedunculated fibroids grow on small stalks inside or outside the uterus. It's possible to have more than one type of fibroid.




Early spontaneous miscarriage happens more often when the fibroids are in the main body of the uterus when compared with fibroids being in the lower segment of the uterus or those fibroids which are intramural or submucosal. It is not known exactly how fibroids cause miscarriage. Possible mechanisms include: increased irritability of the uterus, mechanical compression by the fibroid and/or damage to the blood supply to the growing placenta or foetus.

Radio sensitive tumor:
seminomas << yolk sac embryonl carcinoma



Radiosensitive tumours are tumours which respond well to radiotherapy. Radiotherapy may be effective alone, or may require the addition of cytotoxic chemotherapy as in the more advanced stages of a wilm's tumour and hodgkin's disease. This group includes: 


Malignant lymphomas


 Seminomas


Medulloblastoma


 Neuroblastoma


 Wilm's tumour 


Early cervical carcinoma


 Vaginal carcinoma 


Most head and neck



How to differentiate a large ovarian cyst from ascites?

A. Dull anteriorly and resonant laterally


B. Resonant anteriorly and dull laterally

a (midabdominal dullness and lateral tympany)



- Ascitis displace the small intestine centrally producing a tympanic percussion note in midabdomen and dullness in flanks.


- with ovarian cyst the intestines are pushed laterally so there is midabdominal dullness and lateral tympany.


- ovarian cyst never produce a fluid wave. You can palpate the aorta pulsation.



woman with recurrent uti , why ?

A. because it cleans itself of the from anus to vulva

cervical cap usage



Recurrent urinary tract infection (uti) refers to ≥2 infections in six months or ≥3 infections in one year. Risk factors for recurrent uti


the frequency of sexual intercourse ( strong rf ) •spermicide use ( strong rf )


- women with recurrent uti have been shown to have an increased susceptibility to vaginal colo


nization with uropathogens compared with women without a history of recurrences.


•pelvic anatomy may predispose to recurrent uti in some women, with a shorter distance from the urethra to the anus being associated with in


creased risk.


- among postmenopausal women, mechanical, and/or physiological factors that affect bladder emptying are associated with recurrent uti.

what is hellp syndrome?
Hellp syndrome, named for 3 features of the disease (hemolysis, elevated liver enzyme levels, and low platelet levels), is a life-threatening condition that can potentially complicate pregnancy. It is considered as complication of severe preeclampsia (hypertension and proteinuria after 20 weeks gestation).
female pt diagnosed with pid on ceftriaxon with no benefit what is the organism?

A 34-week pregnant lady is known to have HIV on antiviral medication. Her viral load is low what do you do regarding her pregnancy?

A. Continue with antiviral medication and elective CS

Antiretroviral medications should be used throughout pregnancy along with intrapartum zidovudine for the baby. As for mode of delivery it depends on viral load. If viral load is high -above 1000/µl- CS is performed. The question & answer are not clear regarding viral load.
What is the adenomyosis?
Adenomyosis refers to a disorder in which endometrial glands and stroma are present within the uterine musculature (uterine adenomyomatosis). The ectopic endometrial tissue appears to induce hypertrophy and hyperplasia of the surrounding myometrium, which results in a diffusely enlarged uterus (often termed "globular" enlargement) analogous to the concentric enlargement of the pregnant uterus. However, some women have only small areas of diffuse disease that are only apparent by microscopy, whereas others develop nodules (termed adenomyomas), which clinically resemble leiomyomas. The uterus only rarely exceeds the size of a pregnant uterus at 12 weeks of gestation.
Treatment of Endometriosis?
Endometriosis, which is characterized by endometrial implants outside of the endometrial cavity, is a chronic disease that requires a lifelong management plan. According to the Practice Committee of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, “Endometriosis should be viewed as a chronic disease that requires a lifelong management plan with the goal of maximizing the use of medical treatment and avoiding

repeated surgical procedures. Despite extensive research, the optimal management of endometriosis and its related symptoms is unclear.


- Clinical manifestations fall into 3 categories: pelvic pain, infertility, pelvic mass.


- The goal of therapy is to relieve these symptoms. Treatment individualized based on many factors. Options include: Expectant management, analgesia, hormonal medical therapy, cyclic or continuous estrogen -progestin oral contraceptives, gnrh agonists, progestins, Danazol, aromatase inhibitors, surgical interventions.

Woman with endometriosis. What is the best way to diagnose?

Laparoscopy

Pregnant with monochorionic twins in week 27. One of them died, what to do?

They answered deliver!!


If fetal assessment after 26 weeks of gestation suggests impending death rather than demise of one twin of a monochorionic pair, we suggest prompt delivery of both twins rather than expectant management given the high risk of neurologic impairment in the surviving co-twin.

A female postpartum with upper lateral quadrant mass, redness, tenderness,with +ve lymph nodes:
Mastitis

During lactation, enlarged intramammary and/or axillary lymph nodes may be seen. The hyperplastic nodes are felt to be related to the bacterial seeding of the nipple by the infant during breastfeeding. These nodes are typically seen in the upper outer quadrant of the breast and axilla. Benign entities include galactocele, fibroadenoma, obstructed milk duct, mastitis with or without abscess, hyperplastic intramammary and/or axillary lymph nodes, and granulomatous mastitis. Malignant diseases include pregnancy-associated breast cancer and metastatic disease.

Asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnancy is more likely to lead to cystitis and pyelonephritis
What you should look for in case of gonorrhea?
Chlamydia trachomatis

Because chlamydia is also frequently found in conjunction with Neisseria gonorrhoeae infection, any patient with known or suspected gonorrhea infection should also be evaluated for chlamydia.

About old female with recurrent fracture ..
Estrogen Def

Estrogen affects the development of cortical and trabecular bone, although the effect on the latter is more pronounced. Bone density diminishes at the rate of approximately 1% to 2% per year in postmenopausal women, compared with approximately 0.5% per year in perimenopausal women.

63-Married female Patient with white vaginal discharge, odorless, Wet test was negative, KOH test showed Psudohyphae, what is the diagnosis?
Vaginal candidiasis.



Vulvovaginal candidiasis is caused by ubiquitous airborne fungi. Approximately 90% of these infections are caused by Candida albicans. The most common presenting complaint for women with candidiasis is itching, although up to 20% of women may be asymptomatic. Burning, external dysuria, and dyspareunia are also common. The vulva and vaginal tissues are often bright red in color, and excoriation is not uncommon in severe cases. A thick, adherent “cottage cheese” discharge with a ph of 4 to 5 is generally found. This discharge is odorless. Diagnosis requires either visualization of blastospores or pseudohyphae on saline, or 10% KOH microscopy, or a positive culture in a symptomatic woman.

Patient present at 10 week with painless bleeding not part of conception cervix closed what is ?
Threatened abortion

Pregnant women at 14 weeks with splenomegaly low platelet what is diagnosis ?
*low platelet count (<150000/mm 3 ) is most likely indicative to gestational thrombocytopenia (Kaplan page 39)

* Splenomegaly with pregnancy should be considered as a high risk pregnancy and it is to be dealt under the supervision of senior obstetrician in a tertiary care centre because it can complicate the maternal and fetal outcome

Follicular cell of ovary what it is orign embryologically???
The outer ovarian cortex consists of follicles embedded in a connective tissue stroma. Embryologically, this stroma is the medulla that originated as the gonadal ridge, while the cortex originated as coelomic epithelium. The medulla contains smooth muscle fibers, blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatics.
Questions about the contraindications of external cephalic version
ECV is recommended by several national organizations for all women with an uncomplicated singleton fetus in breech presentation at term to improve their chances of having a cephalic vaginal birth.

- Clearly, if cesarean delivery is indicated for reasons other than breech presentation, ECV is contraindicated: Placenta previa or abruptio placentae, nonreassuring fetal status, intrauterine growth restriction in association with abnormal umbilical artery Doppler index, isoimmunization, severe preeclampsia, recent vaginal bleeding, and significant fetal or uterine anomalies are also contraindications for ECV.


- Other contraindications to ECV include ruptured membranes, fetus with a hyperextended head, and multiple gestations, although ECV may be considered for a second twin after delivery of the first.


- Relative contraindications include maternal obesity, small for gestational age fetus (less than 10%), and oligohydramnios because they make successful ECV less likely.[24] Previous uterine scar from cesarean delivery or myomectomy may also be a relative contraindication for ECV.

Endometriosis best management ? And treatment ..

- Clinical manifestations of endometriosis fall into three general categories: pelvic pain, infertility, and pelvic mass.


- The goal of therapy is to relieve these symptoms. There is no high quality evidence that one medical therapy is superior to another for managing pelvic pain due to endometriosis, or that any type of medical treatment will affect future fertility.


- Expectant management


- Analgesia


- Hormonal medical therapy


o Estrogen-progestin oral contraceptives, cyclic


or continuous


o Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (gnrh) ago


nists


o Progestins, given by an oral, parenteral, or in


trauterine route


o Danazol


o Aromatase inhibitors


- Surgical intervention, which may be conservative (retain uterus and ovarian tissue) or definitive (removal of the uterus and possibly the ovaries) Combination therapy in which medical therapy is given before and/or after surgery

Questions about cervical cancer (staging, biopsy)
- Stage I is carcinoma strictly confined to the cervix; extension to the uterine corpus should be disregarded.

o Stage IA: Invasive cancer identified only microscopically


o Stage IB: Clinical lesions confined to the cervix or preclinical lesions greater than stage IA




Stage II is carcinoma that extends beyond the cervix but has not extended onto the pelvic wall. The carcinoma involves the vagina but not as far as the lower third section.


o Stage IIA: No obvious parametrial involvement. Involvement of as much as the upper two thirds of the vagina


o Stage IIB: Obvious parametrial involvement,


but not onto the pelvic sidewall




Stage III is carcinoma that has extended onto the pelvic sidewall and/or involves the lower third of the vagina.


o Stage IIIA: No extension onto the pelvic sidewall, but involvement of the lower third of the vagina


o Stage IIIB: Extension onto the pelvic sidewall


or hydronephrosis or nonfunctioning kidney




Stage IV is carcinoma that has extended beyond the true pelvis or has clinically involved the mucosa of the bladder and/or rectum.


o Stage IVA: Spread of the tumor onto adjacent


pelvic organs


o Stage IVB: Spread to distant organs

Group B strep positive pregnancy and she is in her 24 weeks , when to give prophylactic antibiotic ?
during labour

All women who are GBS positive by rectovaginal culture should receive antibiotic prophylaxis in labor or with rupture of membranes.

Pregnant lady no symptoms UTI, no frequency no urgency no dysuria Positive urine culture? Diagnosis?
Asymptomatic bacteriuria

A urine culture is obtained at the onset of prenatal care and patients with asymptomatic bacteriuria are treated with ampicillin, cephalexin or nitrofurantoin.

isotretinoin most feared complication -birth defect

- (FDA) approved the drug isotretinoin (Accutane) for use in the treatment of severe recalcitrant nodular acne


- adverse reproductive outcomes among women taking isotretinoin during the first trimester of pregnancy: spontaneous miscarriage, fetal isotretinoin syndrome.


- retinoic acid embryopathy, also known as Accutane embryopathy or fetal isotretinoin syndrome, consists of a set of malformations involving the central nervous system, head and face, and heart. (derivatives of pharyngeal arch).


- facial asymmetry; serious external ear abnormalities, including microtia (small ear), anotia (no ear), or stenosis of the external ear canal; micrognathia (small jaw); flat depressed nasal bridge; and ocular hypertelorism (widely spaced eyes). The cardiovascular abnormalities commonly seen include conotruncal malformations, such as transposition of the great vessels and tetralogy of Fallot. Effects on the CNS can lead to hydrocephalus and microcephaly as well as to an IQ in the subnormal range and learning disabilities. Thymic aplasia and parathyroid abnormalities can also be part of this syndrome.


- Isotretinoin is teratogenic, causes birth defects, and is Category X, meaning that there is no indication for its usage during pregnancy. In addition, it should not be taken while nursing.Patients should take 2 pregnancy tests before starting isotretinoin and take a monthly pregnancy test while on the medication.


- isotretinoin a drug used to treat skin disorders, is stored in fat beneath the skin and is released slowly. Isotretinoin can cause birth defects if women become pregnant within 2 weeks after the drug is stopped. Therefore, women are advised to wait at least 3 to 4 weeks after the drug is stopped before they become pregnant.

Pregnant in the third trimester with history of recurrent herpes simplex, she is in labour, during exam no lesions what to do?
1) CS IV acyclovir 2) Do specular exam before

???


In the absence of active lesions or prodromal symptoms, vaginal delivery should be allowed.

Primary amenorrhea , what is the next investigation ?
Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), b-HCG, prolactin, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormone (LH) measurements are always the first line of testing. If hirsutism is predominant upon examination, include androgen testing: measure testosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS), androstenedione, and 17-OH progesterone to determine the organ of cause (eg, ovary vs adrenal gland).



Primary amenorrhea:


2ndry sexual characteristics present? (Breast)?


* if yes--> do karyotype:


46 xx--> if no uterus (mullerian) or other anatomic problems (imperforate hymen,...)


46 xy--> androgen insensitivity




* if no--> FSH/LH


high--> hypogonadotropic (gonadal dysgenesis 45 x) No estrogen due to no overian follicles


Low--> HP axis faliure 46 xx. No estrogen because follicles not stimulated.

Pregnant lady with vaginal discharge and + KOH , what is Diagnosis :
bacterial vaginisis

Diagnosis is usually established by vaginal ph greater than 4.5, presence of clue cells (vaginal epithelial cells with borders that are covered with small bacteria), examining the discharge microscopically; may show clue cells. A positive whiff test after adding a drop of KOH to some of the discharge on a microscopic slide suggests bacterial vaginosis.

Type of fibroid cause abortion :
submucosal Fibroids that bulge into the uterine cavity (submucous) or are within the cavity (intracavitary) may sometimes cause miscarriages. The fertilized egg comes down the fallopian tube and takes hold in the lining of the uterus. If a submucosal fibroid happens to be nearby, it can thin out the lining and decreases the blood supply to the developing embryo. The fibroid may also cause some inflammation in the lining directly above it. The fetus cannot develop properly, and miscarriage may result.
Postmenopausal with osteoporosis and high Alkaline phosphatase ,What will you give :
Bisphosphonate “DISCUSSION: Bisphosphonate treatment lowered ALP levels, and this decrease was strongly correlated with a decrease in BAP. Among blood test data, the decrease in BAP had the strongest correlation with the ALP decrease. CONCLUSION: For treatment of osteoporosis, ALP is an acceptable alternative to BAP. Elevated ALP in postmenopausal women is mainly caused by high bone turnover.”
Female with ductal carcinoma Doctor want treat her, what is the gene responsible for that cancer? (No BRCA1 in options)

Tp53


Most breast cancers are associated with BRCA 1 & BRCA 2 mutations, but inherited changes in the TP53 gene greatly increase the risk of developing breast cancer, as well as several other forms of cancer, as part of a rare cancer syndrome called Li-Fraumeni syndrome (described below). These mutations are thought to account for only a small fraction of all breast cancer cases. Noninherited (somatic) mutations in the TP53 gene are much more common than inherited mutations, occurring in 20 to 40 percent of all breast cancers

What is the antithyroid used in pregnancy?

Propylthiouracil

PTU Because of the risk of fetal abnormalities associated with methimazole, propylthiouracil may be the treatment of choice when an antithyroid drug is indicated during or just prior to the first trimester of pregnancy.

Contraindication of external cephalic version?
Contraindications include multiple pregnancy, severe fetal anomaly, ruptured membranes, significant third-trimester bleeding, and other indications for caesarean section (e.g., placenta praevia or uterine malformation).
Ovarian cancer tumor marker

CA125


CA125 levels >35 U/ml in post-menopausal women warrant concern for ovarian cancer. In the pre-menopausal patient this serum marker yields little because elevated levels are associated with many benign conditions, such as uterine fibroids, PID, endometriosis, adenomyosis, pregnancy, and menstruation. Levels >200 U/ml in pre-menopausal women warrant a referral to a gynaecological oncologist for further evaluation.

1- choriocarcinoma (raising or plateau HCG )

2- hydatidiform (large for date and BHCG>100,000)


3- placenta in site trophoblastic tumor(low BHCG)




- Hydatidiform molesLesions are considered part of benign gestational trophoblastic disease, and arise from placental abnormalities.Includes complete hydatidiform mole, partial hydatidiform mole, and invasive mole.Complete moles carry higher risk of malignancy than partial moles.Malignant transformation set apart by failure of serum beta hCG to return to normal levels after treatment of the mole.


- The most common presenting symptom is vaginal bleeding. Uterine size is greater than expected for gestational age. Pelvic ultrasound is the mainstay of diagnosis. Typical ultrasound findings for a complete molar pregnancy include a diffuse echogenic pattern described as a snow-storm pattern, which is created by intermingling of hydropic villi and blood clots. abnormal placenta with partial fetal development, without fetal cardiac activity, is characteristic of a partial molar pregnancy. abnormal placenta with partial fetal development, without fetal cardiac activity, is characteristic of a partial molar pregnancy. Complete is most common (empty egg 46 xx) and more chance to become malignant.


* molar: pregnancy <20w, HTN, proteinuria, no FHT, vaginal passage of vesicles.


Tx: no chemo, suction D and C, fu beta hcg to 0. OCP for 1y


RF: extreme of age, folate deficincy, previous


* CXR to exclude lung metastasis

25 years old lady presented with severe abdominal pain and regular menstruation, in US mass in the ovary with hair, what is the next step?
dermoid cyst--> laparoscopy

Benign cystic teratomas: These tumors are also called dermoid cysts because although derived from all 3 germ cell layers, they consist mainly of ectodermal tissue.


* Most functional cysts and benign tumors are asymptomatic. Sometimes they cause menstrual abnormalities. Hemorrhagic corpus luteum cysts may cause pain or signs of peritonitis, particularly when they rupture. Occasionally, severe abdominal pain results from adnexal torsion of a cyst or mass, usually > 4 cm. Ascites and rarely pleural effusion may accompany fibromas.


* Masses with radiographic characteristics of cancer (eg, cystic and solid components, surface excrescences, multilocular appearance, irregular shape) require excision.


* Most ovarian cysts < 8 cm resolve without treatment; serial ultrasonography is done to document resolution. If technically feasible, cyst removal from the ovary (ovarian cystectomy) via laparoscopy or laparotomy may be necessary for the following:


Most cysts that are ≥ 10 cm and that persist for > 3 menstrual cycles


Cystic teratomas < 10 cm


Hemorrhagic corpus luteum cysts with peritonitis


Fibromas and other solid tumors

12-week pregnant w high blood pressure?

Pre-existing htn (chronic)

RH -ve mother and +ve baby what is the complecation at dlivery
Hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN)



- Rh incompatibility not a problem in 1st pregnancy. Its a problem when fetal RBCs cross the placenta into mothers bloodstream and she makes antibodies against Rh positive blood. --> second baby hemolytic disease of the newborn.


- hymolytic disease of newborn: fetal anemia and extramedullar production of RBCs (liver,spleen) : bilirubin neurotoxicity, erythroblastosis fetalis (high fetal cardiac output).


# during initial prenatal visit:


screen the mother for Rh antibody: Rh - or +


- if positive: no further screen


- if negative: check antibody titer (has antibodies = sensitized --> monitor) (no antibodies= Unsensitized--> repeat at 28 w and give Rhogam as indicated).


* if pt Unsensitized we want to keep it that way: give pt Rhogam after: amniocentesis, abortion, vaginal bleeding, placental abruption, delivery.


At 28w give Unsensitized pt Rhogam prophylaxis


And give it again after delivery if baby is Rh +




* if sensitized: if pt is Rh - and has antibodies--> do antibody titer by indirect antiglobulin test.


Sensitized = 1:4


If 1:16 --> serial amniocentesis to detect fetal


bilirubin level starting at 16-20 w. --> spectrophotometer:


- low: repeat 2-3 w


- medium: repeat 1-2 w


- high: baby anemic do umblical blood sample, if htc low do intrauterine transfusion.

40 years c/o heavy bleeding & intercyclic bleeding , not pregnant not using ocp. & not sexual active from a year, dx?!

a. Anovulatory cycle

Abnormal uterine bleeding (formerly, dysfunctional uterine bleeding [DUB] [1] ) is irregular uterine bleeding that occurs in the absence of recognizable pelvic pathology, general medical disease, or pregnancy. It reflects a disruption in the normal cyclic pattern of ovulatory hormonal stimulation to the endometrial lining.



Dysfinctional Uterine Bleeding: If the pregnancy is negative, there are no anatomic causes for bleeding and coagulopathy is ruled out, then the diagnosis of hormonal imbalance should be considered. Mechanism: the most common cause of DUB is anovulation. Anovulation results due to unopposed estrogen. With unopposed estrogen, there is continous stimulation of the endometrium with no secretory phases.




# Anovulation cycle:


Irregular intervals, no ovulatory pain, serum P4< 3 (2nd half cycle), monophasic BBT, serum LH < 25

During labor patient complain of severe pain in right thigh relief after labor what's the nerve?
Cutaneous branch of femoral nerve

The lateral femoral cutaneous nerve exits the pelvis under the inguinal ligament and then passes medial and inferior to the anterior superior iliac spine. It is a pure sensory nerve which supplies the anterolateral thigh. Injury to the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve causes burning, pain, or numbness of the anterolateral thigh, known as meralgia paresthetica syndrome.4 The lateral femoral cutaneous nerve is at risk of injury during prolonged pushing with hip flexion as the nerve is compressed under the inguinal ligament.

Case of threaten abortion how will you manage?
Repeated US until viability of the fetus confirmed
Female with history of lichen sclerosis present with lesion what will you do?

Pregnant primi 34w didn't gain weight the doctor start to think of preeclampsia what finding support that:
Elevated BP

One of the risk factors of preeclampsia is nulliparity. The classic symptoms of pre-eclampsia include a frontal headache, visual disturbance and epigastric pain. However, the majority of women with pre-eclampsia are asymptomatic. Hypertension is usually the first sign.Rapidly progressive oedema of the face and hands may suggest pre-eclampsia.

- HSG: schaduled 1 w after menses. Give prophylaxis Abx. If abnormal results--> Do laparoscopy for potentially correctable tubal disease.


* tubal blockage due to PID--> IVF

Pregnant in last trimester or in labour couldn't remember anyhow she was presented with vaginal bleeding , baby was delivered with no complication but mother developed bleeding from nose and mouth ?
DIC is the most likely answer, especially if the bleeding was in the third trimester and was due to abruptio placenta. The most common cause of DIC in pregnancy is abruptio placenta. In DIC, typically there is a history of blood loss through bleeding in areas such the gingivae and the gastrointestinal (GI) system
40 years old women , her period regular , no intercourse for 1 year , well till 3 months when she had heavy period and intermenstrual bleeding : Sorry I forgot the choices :/ but I think they were asking about what to do next

Their answer: under the topic of menorrhagia in Medscape, Exclusion of pregnancy (the most common cause of irregular bleeding in women of reproductive age and the first diagnosis that should be excluded before further testing or drug therapy).

Female on tamoxifene for her breast cancer , and progesterone for 5 years , she stop the progesterone , she was having fibroid that is 2*3 befor 5 years and now become 5*6 with increased homogenous thickness of the endomertium Sorry for the unorganized senior but it was like that and again I forgot the choices :/ but most probably they were asking about the diagnosis
Tamoxifen has pro-estrogenic effects on the endometrium and is associated with a number of pathologies. It is associated with an increased prevalence of endometrial hyperplasia (1-20%), endometrial polyps (8-36%), endometrial carcinoma, cystic endometrial atrophy
. Fast division of blastomere.
As cilia degenerate , the amount of time it takes for the fertilized egg to reach the uterus will increase. If the fertilized egg doesn t reach the uterus in time, it will hatch from the non-adhesive zona pellucida and implant itself inside the fallopian tube, thus causing the ectopic pregnancy.
How to confirm Down syndrome?
Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) is performed at 10-13 weeks' gestation; earlier testing is thought to be associated with a 1 in 300-1000 risk of fetal transverse limb deficiency, a small risk of maternal cell contamination, and a 0.5-1% risk of a fetal loss after the procedure. The accuracy of CVS (96-98%) is less than that of midtrimester amniocentesis, because of confined placental mosaicism and maternal-cell contamination.
Pregnant at 36 weeks gestational age presented with painless vaginal bleeding. Examination revealed closed cervical os without contractions. What would you see on US?

Melanocyte stimulating hormone released from?
Intermediate lobe of pituitary
Asymptomatic female has 7 cm cyst in her ovary. Her period is normal

- follicular


* Functional varieties, such as corpus luteum cysts, follicular cysts, and theca lutein cysts, arise in response to normal or increased hormonal action. Thus, extrinsic gonadotrophin and progesterone administration can influence cyst development and persistence


* Most functional cysts are < 1.5 cm in diameter; few exceed 5 cm. Functional cysts usually resolve spontaneously over days to weeks. Functional cysts are uncommon after menopause.


* thin walled and unilocularusually range around 3 to 8 cm in sizeby definition, if <3 cm it is an ovarian follicle rather than an ovarian follicular cystthere is typically posterior acoustic enhancement and an absence of internal echoesthere should be no colour flow, nodules or or any solid components.

Lateral vaginal examination what you feel?
Ovary
24 year-old lady presented with bright red bleeding, breast tenderness, and bad mood. Β-HCG is negative. No abnormality on examination. What to do
- The initial approach to evaluation of non-pregnant reproductive-age women with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is to confirm that the source of bleeding is the uterus, exclude pregnancy, and confirm that the patient is premenopausal.

-  Most reproductive-age women with AUB should be evaluated initially with: human chorionic gonadotropin (hcg), CBC, hemoglobin


and/or hematocrit, HORMONAL TESTING (i.e., thyroid, prolactin. FSH/LH, estrogen), bleeding disorders testing.


-  Pelvic imaging is useful if a structural lesion (e.g., endometrial polyps) is suspected; it is not required in every woman with AUB. Pelvic ultrasound is the first-line study.

Most common cause of post-partum hemorrhage?
Uterine atony

PPH has many potential causes, but the most common, by a wide margin, is uterine atony, ie, failure of the uterus to contract and retract following delivery of the baby.

Pregnant have pyelonephritis:

Pyelonephritis is the most common urinary tract complication in pregnant women, occurring in approximately 2% of all pregnancies. Acute pyelonephritis is characterized by fever, flank pain, and tenderness in addition to significant bacteriuria.

Vaginal discharge with falgellated cell on microscopy?
trichomonas vaginalis

Humans are the only known host of T vaginalis. Transmission occurs predominantly via sexual intercourse. The organism is most commonly isolated from vaginal secretions in women and urethral secretions in men. Women with trichomoniasis may be asymptomatic or may experience various symptoms, including a frothy yellow-green vaginal discharge and vulvar irritation.

Patient on paroxetine and is stable, she got pregnant what you will do ?
Paroxetine is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), used for the treatment of depression and anxiety disorders. Exposures to paroxetine in early pregnancy, indicated an increased risk (also 2%) of cardiovascular defects of relatively mild types after maternal use of paroxetine

Female with Tubo-ovarian abscess what is the treatment?
Treatment typically involves drainage of the abscess. The antibiotic regimen should include broad coverage against gram-negative rods, enterococci, and anaerobes(clindamycin or metronidazole should be used with doxycycline as this provides better anaerobic coverage than doxycycline alone
Rupture of membrane during pregnancy when to give antibiotics?
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends a seven-day course of intravenous ampicillin and erythromycin followed by oral amoxicillin and erythromycin if watchful waiting is attempted before 34 weeks. [2] Amoxicillin-clavulanic acid increases the risk of fetal bowel death (necrotizing enterocolitis) and should be avoided in pregnancy.
DM pregnant her oral glucose tolerance test came positive what to do next.
Diagnose with GDM: nternational Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups (IADPSG) criteria (endorsed by the American Diabetes Association [ADA]) recommended that all women not known to have diabetes should undergo a 75-gram OGTT at 24 to 28 weeks of gestation, with diagnosis of GDM based upon the finding of 1 abnormality. Management 1st : diet, exercise + glucose monitoring if uncontrolled with dietary therapy, or marked initial hyperglycaemia plus insulin therapy, then at 32 to 34 weeks' gestation start antepartum fetal monitoring.
Fibroid during pregnancy does it Degenerate or stays asymptomatic Or what ?
Degenerative changes : Usually presents during pregnancy with acute abdominal pain with significant local tenderness over the site of the mass. Most common type of degeneration during pregnancy is red type, believed to occur due to rapid fibroid cellular growth that exceeds the blood supply. Usually requires admission to the hospital for pain therapy, usually with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nsaids). However, these drugs should be used with caution to avoid fetal problems, such as premature closure of the ductus arteriosus. OR pregnancy loss: There exist a number of hypotheses regarding the mechanism of action of spontaneous abortion in patient with uterine fibroids including altered uterine contractility, altered uterine vasculature, and/or supporting extracellular matrix
Pregnant lady in her 27 th gestational week has mono chorionic twin. One of them died, what will be your next step?
expectant delivery

Transmission of HIV
Through breast feeding

MODES OF TRANSMISSION DRIVING THE EPIDEMIC — The major modes of acquiring HIV infection are


- Sexual transmission, including via heterosexual and homosexual contact


- Parenteral transmission, predominantly among injection drug users (IDU)


-  Perinatal transmission




Mother-to-child transmission — With high levels of HIV infection among young women, the potential exists for large numbers of infected children, since infants can become infected in utero, at birth, or during breastfeeding. Such mother-to-child transmission accounts for 90 percent of infection among children worldwide. In the most affected countries in the world, such as in sub-Saharan Africa, 20 to 40 percent of pregnant women are HIV-infected, and one-third of their babies become infected. Although antiretroviral use during pregnancy, at the time of delivery, and during breastfeeding can largely prevent this, only a minority (25 percent or less) of affected mothers are able to access such antiretroviral prophylaxis

Pathogenesis of jaundice in newborn From a mother has - blood group and the newborn has +o.

- Individuals are classified as Rh negative or positive based upon the expression of the major D antigen on the erythrocyte. The original description of HDFN was due to Rh(D) incompatibility, which is associated with the most severe form of the disease (hydrops fetalis).




- PATHOGENESIS AND CONSEQUENCES OF ALLOIMMUNIZATION — By 30 days of gestation, the Rh(D) antigen is expressed as part of the red blood cell (RBC) membrane, and, in contrast to most other antigens (eg, A,B,M,N), Rh(D) is only present on rbcs. Maternal Rh(D) alloimmunization develops as a result of maternal immune system exposure to Rh(D)-positive rbcs. Once anti-D igg antibodies are present in the pregnant woman's circulation, they can cross the placenta and opsonize fetal rbcs, which are then phagocytized by macrophages in the fetal spleen. Events that can cause maternal alloimmunization include:

- 18 year-old married missed her period for two months, came with rt sided abd pain what is the dx:

- Similar question but what's the test to order

- ruptured ectopic

- Urine hcg


The most common clinical presentation of ectopic pregnancy is first trimester vaginal bleeding and/or abdominal pain. Ectopic pregnancy may also be asymptomatic. Normal pregnancy discomforts (eg, breast tenderness, frequent urination, nausea) are sometimes present in addition to the symptoms specifically associated with ectopic pregnancy. There may be a lower likelihood of early pregnancy symptoms, because progesterone, estradiol, and human chorionic gonadotropin (hcg) may be lower in ectopic pregnancy than in normal pregnancy.


- He pain associated with ectopic pregnancy is usually located in the pelvic area. It may be diffuse or localized to one side. In cases in which there is intraperitoneal blood that reaches the upper abdomen or in rare cases of abdominal pregnancy, the pain may be in the middle or upper abdomen. If there is sufficient intraabdominal bleeding to reach the diaphragm, there may be referred pain that is felt in the shoulder. Blood pooling in the posterior cul-de-sac (pouch of Douglas) may cause an urge to defecate. The timing, character, and severity of abdominal pain vary, and there is no pain pattern that is pathognomonic for ectopic pregnancy. The onset of the pain may be abrupt or slow, and the pain may be continuous or intermittent. The pain may be dull or sharp; it is generally not crampy. The pain may be mild or severe. Tubal rupture may be associated with an abrupt onset of severe pain, but rupture may also present with mild or intermittent pain.


1. Confirm that the patient is pregnant


a. Measurement of hcg is performed initially to diagnose pregnancy and then followed to assess for ectopic pregnancy. For follow-up, hcg is measured serially (every 48 to 72 hours) to determine whether the increase is consistent with an abnormal pregnancy. A single hcg measurement alone cannot confirm the diagnosis of ectopic or


normal pregnancy.


b. The initial test to diagnose pregnancy may be either a urine or serum hcg. Once a pregnancy is confirmed, if ectopic pregnancy is suspected, the serum hcg is then repeated serially (typically every two days) to assess whether the increase in concentration is consistent with an abnormal pregnancy


2. Determine whether the pregnancy is intrauterine or ectopic. Determine the


site of the ectopic pregnancy.


3. Determine whether the structure in which the pregnancy is implanted (most commonly, the fallopian tube) has ruptured and whether the patient is hemodynamically stable. Failure to diag


nose ectopic pregnancy before tubal rupture limits the treatment options and increases maternal morbidity and mortality.


4. Perform additional testing to guide further management (eg, blood type and antibody screen, pre-treatment testing for methotrexate therapy).

Pregnant lady 39 weeks presented with high blood pressure for the first time. No proteinurea or seizures, wts her dx:
Gestational hypertension if it was not stated that it was present before pregnancy (before the 20 th week) and/or persists after pregnancy for more than 12 weeks postpartum



There are four major hypertensive disorders that occur in pregnant women:


Preeclampsia-eclampsia – Preeclampsia refers to the syndrome of new onset of hypertension and


either proteinuria or end-organ dysfunction most often after 20 weeks of gestation in a previously normotensive woman.. Eclampsia is diagnosed when seizures have occurred.




Chronic (preexisting) hypertension – Chronic hypertension is defined as systolic pressure ≥140 mmhg and/or diastolic pressure ≥90 mmhg that antedates pregnancy, is present before the 20th week of pregnancy, or persists longer than 12 weeks postpartum.




Preeclampsia-eclampsia superimposed upon chronic hypertension – Preeclampsia-eclampsia superimposed upon chronic hypertension is diagnosed when a woman with chronic hypertension develops worsening hypertension with new onset proteinuria or other features of preeclampsia (eg, elevated liver enzymes, low platelet count).




Gestational hypertension – Gestational hypertension refers to elevated blood pressure first detected after 20 weeks of gestation in the absence of proteinuria or other diagnostic features of preeclampsia. Over time, some patients with gestational hypertension will develop proteinuria or end-organ dysfunction characteristic of preeclampsia and be considered preeclamptic, while others will be diagnosed with preexisting hypertension because of persistent blood pressure elevation postpartum

Patient with odorless vaginal disch, grey-white. Spores on wet mount.
The diagnosis of vulvovaginal candidiasis is based on the presence of Candida on wet mount, Gram's stain, or culture of vaginal discharge in a woman with characteristic clinical findings (eg, vulvovaginal pruritus, burning, erythema, edema, and/or curd like discharge attached to the vaginal sidewall) and no other pathogens to account for her symptoms. The vaginal ph in women with Candida infection is typically normal (4 to 4.5), which distinguishes candidiasis from trichomoniasis or bacterial vaginosis. Candida species can be seen on a wet mount of the discharge; adding 10 percent potassium hydroxide destroys the cellular elements and facilitates recognition of budding yeast, pseudohyphae, and hyphae

endometriosis specifically post-vaginal endometriosis:


- Medical interventions do not improve fertility, diminish endometriomas, or treat complications of deep endometriosis such as ureteral obstruction.


1. Nsaids: nsaids are be considered the first-line treatment for pelvic pain, including endometriosis-related pain. However, there are no high-quality data reporting NSAID efficacy in treating pain due to endometriosis, nor have nsaids been shown to be superior to other agents or to placebo


2. Combined (estrogen and progestin) contraceptives are the first-line treatment for most women with endometriosis-related pain because they can be used long-term, are well-tolerated, are relatively inexpensive and easy to use, and provide contraception and additional benefits including decreasing the risk of ovarian and endometrial cancers.


3. Progestin-only therapy is another treatment option. The progestins most commonly used for the treatment of endometriosis-related pain include medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) or the 19-nortestosterone derivatives norethindrone acetate and dienogest


4. Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (gnrh) agonists — gnrh agonists include nafarelin, leuprolide, buserelin, goserelin, and triptorelin. Gnrh agonists bind to receptors in the pituitary gland. Because gnrh agonists have a longer half-life than native gnrh, the pituitary-ovarian axis is down-regulated and hypoestrogenism results. Endometriosis-related pain is likely treated by the induction of amenorrhea and progressive endometrial atrophy. The hypoestrogenic state is the main source of adverse effects, including hot flushes, vaginal dryness, decreased libido, mood swings, headache, and decreased bone density. Negative effects can be reduced by add-back therapy, typically with oral norethindrone acetate or a combination of estrogen and progestin (ie, COC pill)


5. Danzol: Danazol is a derivative of 17 alpha-ethinyltestosterone. It primarily inhibits the luteinizing hormone surge and steroidogenesis, and increases free testosterone levels. Its mechanisms of action include inhibition of pituitary gonadotropin secretion, direct inhibition of ovarian enzymes responsible for estrogen production, and inhibition of endometriotic implant growth. While danazol is effective at treating endometriosis-related pain, it is not commonly used because of androgenic side effects.


6- Aromatase inhibitors — We reserve aromatase inhibitor (AI) treatment for women with severe, refractory endometriosis-related pain [49,50]. We inform women that treatment of endometriosis is an off-label use of these medications. Typical treatments include oral anastrozole 1 mg once daily or oral letrozole 2.5 mg once daily. These agents appear to regulate local estrogen formation within the endometriotic lesions themselves, in addition to inhibiting estrogen production in the ovary, brain, and periphery (eg, adipose tissue). Disadvantages of ais include bone loss with prolonged use and ovarian follicular cyst development.

Endometriosis definition ?
The presence of tissue that normally grows inside the uterus (womb) in an abnormal anatomical location. Endometriosis is very common and may not produce symptoms, or it may lead to painful menstruation. It has also been associated with infertility. Endometriosis occurs most commonly within the Fallopian tubes and on the outside of the tubes and ovaries, the outer surface of the uterus and intestines, and anywhere on the surface of the pelvic cavity. It can also be found, less often, on the surface of the liver, in old surgery scars or, very rarely, in the lung or brain. Endometriosis occurs in the reproductive years. The average age at diagnosis is 25-30.Endometriosis may be suspected by during a physical examination; it is confirmed by surgery, usually laparoscopy; available treatments include medication for pain, hormone therapy, and surgery

Question about Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome (Mullerian agenesis)
This condition causes the vagina and uterus to be underdeveloped or absent. Affected women usually do not have menstrual periods due to the absent uterus. Often, the first noticeable sign of MRKH syndrome is that menstruation does not begin by age 16 (primary amenorrhea). Women with MRKH syndrome have a female chromosome pattern (46,XX) and normally functioning ovaries.

They also have normal female external genitalia and normal breast and pubic hair development.


Women with MRKH syndrome may also have abnormalities in other parts of the body. The kidneys may be abnormally formed or positioned, or one kidney may fail to develop (unilateral renal agenesis). Affected individuals commonly develop skeletal abnormalities, particularly of the spinal bones (vertebrae). Females with MRKH syndrome may also have hearing loss or heart defects.

Case of incomplete abortion
One of the common complications of pregnancy is spontaneous miscarriage, which occurs in an estimated 5-15% of pregnancies. Spontaneous miscarriages are categorized as threatened, inevitable, incomplete, complete, or missed. Signs of incomplete miscarriage include the following: The cervix may appear dilated and effaced, or it may be closed, Bimanual examination may reveal an enlarged and soft uterus. On pelvic examination, products of conception may be partially present in the uterus, may protrude from the external os, or may be present in the vagina. Bleeding and cramping usually persist.

- Postpartum psychosis has a dramatic onset, emerging as early as the first 48-72 hours after delivery. In most women, symptoms develop within the first 2 postpartum weeks The mother may have delusional beliefs that relate to the infant (eg, the baby is defective or dying, the infant is Satan or God), or she may have auditory hallucinations that instruct her to harm herself or her


infant.




- Postpartum depression develops most frequently in the first 4 months following delivery but can occur anytime in the first year and it in


terferes with the mother's ability to care for herself or her child




- Postpartum blues: Symptoms peak on the fourth or fifth day after delivery and last for sev
