Ovarian torsion. Although appendicitis must be r/o it, a WBC wnl and afebrile make it less likely. Ex-Lap is next step if she'f possibly bleeding!
Patient w/ hx of endometriosis is unable to conceive. Negative workup for infertility (HSP and father's sperm normal). Next step?
Clomiphene citrate (SERM) for ovarian stimulation. can add intrauterine insemination. If these fail consider IVF/adoption.
17 yo G0 presents w/ hx of dysmenorrhea x 3years. On NSAIDs and OCP w/o improvement. Pelvic exam normal. Next step in management?

22 yo G0 w/ endometriosis refractory to OCPs and laparoscopic ablation. Next step in management and mechanism of action.
GnRH agonists in constant levels causes down regulation of production and release of LH/FSH --> decrease in estradiol levels. (nafarelin, goserelin and leuprolide)
Does physical and sexual abuse contribute to increase incidence of pelvic pain?
yes. 40-50% of women w/ chronic pain have hx of abuse. Mechanism unclear possibly somatization.
Best surgical option for 48 yo G4P4 w/ endometriosis refractory to OCPs and ablation. SHx +BTL.
TAH/BSO.
62 yo G4P4 w/ nonspecific abdomino-pelvic sx, post-menopausal bleeding and FHx ov ca. Next step?
TVUS. it is more sensitive than CT for evaluation of uterus and adnexa.
29 yo G0 presents f/u. Hx PID and Right TOA 14 mo ago. c/o pelvic pain, dypareunia x 10 mo. U/S +right FT mass. desires fertility. Right adnexa normal. Most appropriate next step?

What are the nerves at risk during a low transverse incision? Signs and sx of each?
iliohypogastric (T12, L1) and ilioinguinal nerves (T12, L1) at risk. Iliohypogastric provides sensation togroin and skin overlying pubis. ilioinguinal is below the iliohypogastric sensation and provides sensation to groin, symphysis, labia and upper inner thigh.
68 yo healthy G3P3 c/o breast tenderness. mammogram 4mo ago was normal. FHx + for 70yo sister w/ Breast CA. Breast exam normal. Next step?
Reassurance! No indication for repeat mammogram since last one 4 mo ago normal. US or MRI would not add new info in setting of normal exam/mammogram. No genetic testing since sister was post-menopausal at time of diagnosis
Greatest risk factors for developing breast cancer?
age and gender. Having first degree relative increases risk, but genetic mutations occur in a low percentage of population.
In a 31 yo women w/ large pendulous breasts. what is the best position to enhance visualization of asymmetry on physical exam.
leaning forward (allows breast to hang from chest wall).
48 yo c/o white, watery nipple discharge x 4mo. Hx of firbocytstic changes. Elevated prolactin. Next step in management?
Obtain fasting prolactin level.timulation of breast during exam may give rise to elevated prolactin. Always r/o a non significant benign elevation first. If fasting is elevated get brain MRI to r/o pituitary mass.
42 yo G3P3 c/o breast mass after self-exam. FHx +first degree relatives w/ Breast CA. Exam shows 2cm mass. Mammogram shows no abnormalities. Next step in management?
FNA. any solid dominant breast mass should be evaluated cytologically (FNA) or histologically (Bx). A normal mammogram does not r/o presence of cancer!
In a 24 yo h/o cystic mastalgia and FCC c/o of breast pain of the following which contributes to her increasing pain: 1. EtOH 2. Vegetarian diet 3. FHx of Breast cancer in Mom @ 55 4. Caffeine intake. 5. Age of menarche (12yo)
Caffeine intake! Fibrocystic changes are MC type of benign breast conditions and occur most often during reproductive years. Caffeine intake increases pain associated w/ FCC.
54 yo w/ no FHx of breast cancer presents w/ breast mass. FNA shows bloody fluid and shrinks mass. Mammogram ordered. Next appropriate step?
Excisional Biopsy! even though mass decreased in size after FNA, blood obligates the biopsy to r/o cancer. A normal mammogram does NOT r/o cancer, esp if bloody discharge present!
23 yo G0 presents w/ painful mass in axilla x 3d. No FHx. No breast mass palpated. Large tender mobile lymph node palpated. Etiology?
Infection. Axillary LAD is a sign of cancer, a tender mobile lymph node is associated w/ infection. LAD in cancer is usually firm and painless. Duct obstruction would be in differential if woman was breast feeding!
In addition to starting Abx for mastitis in nursing mothers, what is the next step in management?
Add ibuprofen/acetominophen for pain and encourage to continue breast feeding/pumping.
Most appropriate antibiotic therapy for mastitis in breast-feeding mother?
Dicloxacillin 2/2 to S.aureus. It is used due to penicillin resistance staph. Erythromycin may be used in penicillin resistant patients.
42 G3P3 w/ 2cm dominant breast mass. Mammogram negative. FNA negative and mass persisted. Next step?
Excisional biopsy should be performed when the results of mammogram and FNA are negative.
Whats a breast ultrasound good for?
distinguishing a cyst from solid mass. assisting a FNA it can distinguish a fibroadenoma from a cyst.
28 yo G0 w/ Hx of LGSIL w/ HPV+ 6 mo ago here f/u. Normal cervical and bi-manual exam. Next step?
LGSIL management is colposcopy. Pap smear is only a screening tool. 20% of LGSIL hav HGSIL on colposcopy. 50% w/ LGSIL on pap have negative colposcopy.
What is tissue diagnosis is required before a cold knife or loop electrosurgical excision procedure is performed?
Requires tissue diagnosis of dysplasia.
34 yo G2P2 w/ HGSIL (CIN III) on colposcopy w/ biopsy and endocervical curettage showed benign endocervical cells. next step in management?
Loop electrosurgical excision procedure. Its performed in office w/ local intracervical anestesia. designed to remove transformation zone and dysplastic area identified during coloposcopy.
When is an endometrial biopsy indicated?
When suspecting endometritis, polyps or carcinoma. If risk factors for carcinoma present, do this before ablation or hysterectomy.
In a women w/ significant menstrual bleeding, Hct 30, BP 138/84 Pulse 82, is EPO or transfusion recommended?
Nope. her anemia can be corrected using ferrous sulfate over a period of months as well as diagnosing the cause.
Guidelines for offering mammograms
annually starting at age 50 and at least every 2 years b/w age 40-50.
26 yo G0 w/ LGSIL and coposcopy w/ cervical bx which showed CIN I and no endocervical involvement and ECC showed benign cells. Next step?
f/u pap in 6 mo and 12 mo or HPV DNA testing at 12 mo.
Indications for cold knife conization (CKC).
positive ECC, HGSIL either too large for LEEP or patient can't tolerate LEEP in office, lesion extending into endocervical canal or r/o invasive cancer.
vulvar lesion unresponsive to treatment (trichloroacetic acid, Imiquimod cream). next step?
biopsy. perform before treatment if condyloma diagnosis is uncertain.
Attempt to remove IUD (no string visible, but visible on ultrasound in uterus) w/ hook fails. Next step in management?
hysteroscopy. direct visualization can be performed int he office or OR. Perform laparoscopy if IUD seen outside of uterus.
Next step in management in 42 yo w/ mass in right breast. mammogram negative. +FHx of aunt w/ breast CA @ 50.
FNA. Excisional biopsy may follow depending on results.
Next step in management in chronic pelvic pain for 42 yo women w/ endometriosis refractory to medical treatment, no desire for fertility who desire definitive treatment.
TAH/BSO. definitive treatment for pelvic pain 2/2 endometriosis.
Next step in management of 38 yo G1P1 w/ increased urinary freq. Right adnexa mass noted on pelvci exam. Negative UA, negative u-preg and normal pap.
TVUS is the best way to work-up incidental adnexal mass.
