Midterm Women’s gynecological health
• Menstrual Cycle Physiology (from Chapter 5)
• Menstrual phase - endometrium becomes very thin d/t low estrogen levels
- Hypophysis secretes more FSH
- FSH stimulates secretion of estrogen and estrogen serves as proliferation signal to
the endometrial basal layer
- Follicular phase
- Follicles secrete as they mature, increasing amts of estrogen which thickens the
new functional layer of endometrium in uterus
-simulates crypts in cervix to produce fertile cervical mucus
-end of phase= ovulation
• Menstrual Cycle Pain and Premenstrual Conditions
- Dysmenorrhea- originates from uterine cx during menstrual phase, triggers
prostaglandin production and release. This increases contraction of uterus,
reduces
uterine blood flow, and causes ischemia/pain
▪ Risk factors- age <30, smoking, bmi <20, early menarche, hx pelvic
surgery, depression
▪ Primary- 6-12 months after menarche, continues 8-72 hours into cycle
▪ Secondary- caused by pelvic pathology, pain increases over time,
occurs before, during, and after menses
▪ Adenomysis, IBS, endometriosis, leiomyoma, interstitial cystitis
- #1 cause of secondary dysmenorrhea is endometriosis- it causes tissue to attach to
surrounding organs and breaks off and bleeds. Patients can also have constipation,
diarrhea, and bloating.
1. Which uterine positions is most associated with dysparenunia and dysmenorrhea
- Retroverted and retroflexed
2. Post coital bleeding
- Atrophic vaginitis
3. PMS occurs with greatest frequency and severity in
- Late luteal phase
4. Which layer of the ovaries contains lymphatics and blood vessels
- Central medulla
• Normal and Abnormal Uterine Bleeding
- Structural
▪ P- Polyps- deep bright red growths, bleed easily
▪ A- Adenomyosis- occurs in multiparous, over age 40, occurs with
tamoxifen use
▪ L- Leiomyoma- fibroids- leading indication for hysterectomy
▪ M- Malignancy- hyperplasia
- Non-structural
,▪ C- Coagulopathy- von willebrands disease (easy bruising, bleeds heavy)
, ▪ O- Ovulatory dysfunction- anovulation (occurs with pregnancy, bmi<18,
lactation, excessive exercise, perimenopause, pcos, thyroid/pituitary
issues)
▪ E- Endometrial- predictive, cyclic manner, can also be caused
bychlamydia/gonorrhea
▪ I- Iatrogenic- example- mirena, skyla, SSRIs
▪ N- Not yet classified
• Women’s Health from a Feminist Perspective
- Characteristics of a feminist perspective include the use of critical analysis to
question assumptions about societal expectations and the value of various roles
onboth sociopolitical and individual levels
• Women’s Growth and Development Across the Lifespan
1. Lobar growth and alveolar budding of the breast is directly stimulated by
- Progesterone
• Using Evidence to Support Clinical Practice
• Health Promotion
- Primary
▪ Prevention of disease
- Secondary
▪ Early detection
- Tertiary
▪ Limit disability and promote rehab
- Recommended topics for health promotion according to USPSTF
▪ Alcohol use
▪ Breastfeeding
▪ Diet/exercise
▪ STIs
▪ Skin cancer
▪ Tobacco use
• Gynecologic Anatomy and Physiology
1. Procidentia describes uterine descent beyond the
- Vulva
2. In characterizing the degree of prolapse, a situation where the leading part of the
prolapse is more than 1cm beyond the hymen but less than or equal to the
toalvaginal length is defined as
- Stage 3
3. First sign of virilization is
- Enlargement of the clitoris
4. Which muscle is considered to be the most critical component of pelvic support
, - Levator ani muscle
5. The bartholins glands are located at
- 4 and 8 o clock
6. What is responsible for regulating gynecologic organ activities
- FSH AND LH
7. The proliferative, secretory and menstrual phases make up
- Endometrial cycle
• Gynecologic History and Physical Examination
1. Which kind of speculum is often most suitable for examination of the nulliparous
patient?
- Peterson speculum
2. Which speculum is most appropriate for the exam of a parous menstrual woman
- Graves
3. Elevating the head of the examining table 30 degrees facilitates the
- Observation of the patients responses
4. In the cooperative model, creating an interaction where the patient feels that she
being heard and accepted is an illustration of the principle of
- Empathy
5. Which of the follow about breast exam is correct
- Inspection is done first
6. During bimanual exam of the adnexa in normal premenopausal women, the
ovaries are palpable
- About half of the time
7. Which uterine configuration is most difficult to assess for size, shape,
configuration, and mobility
- Retroverted
8. Inquiry concerning adult and child history of sexual abuse and assault should be
included in the sexual history
- Always even for a new patient
9. A transducer is placed in the vagina to measure intra abdominal pressure as part
of
- Multichannel urodynamic testing
10. A cystocele may best be demonstrated clinically by
- Use of valvsalva maneuver
11. The use of Q tip test is used to evaluate the
- Amount of urethral mobility / associated with upward rotation of 30 degrees
12. The situation when the cervix descends below the vulva is termed
- Procidentia
13. Cystocele is best defined as
- Descent or prolapse of the bladder
14. Breast exams should be done during what phase of the menstrual cycle
- Follicular phase
15. Most acute cause of pelvic pain are prob
- Salpingo-oophoritis secondary to PID
