1). Endometrial cycle
Ans: The 28 days of the menstrual cycle as they apply to the events in the uterus. The
endometrial cycle has four subphases: menstruation, the proliferative phase, and the
secretory phase, and the ischemic phase .
2). Proliferative phase
Ans: The second phase of the uterine (endometrial) cycle, during which the
endometrium (shed off during menstration is rebuilt). This phase of the cycle is under
the control of estrogen, secreted from the follicle developing in the ovary during this time
period. The proliferative phase typically lasts from day 6 to day 14 of the menstrual
cycle.
3). Secretory phase
Ans: The third phase of the uterin (endometrial) cycle, during which the rebuilt
endometrium is enhanced with glycogen and lipid stores. The secretory phase is
primarily under the controll of progestone and estrogen (secreted from the copus luteum
during this time period), adn typically lasts from day 15 to day 28 of the menstrual cycle.
4). Ischemic phase
Ans: Approximately 3 days before menstruation to onset of menstruation. due to the
decreased production of estrogen or progesterone and the endometrium becomes blood
starved
5). Menstrual cycle
Ans: Cycle during which an egg develops and is released from an ovary and the uterus
is prepared to receive a fertilized egg.
6). Ovulation

, Ans: The process of releasing a mature ovum into the fallopian tube each month
7). Uterine prolapse
Ans: the condition in which the uterus slides from its normal position in the pelvic
cavity and sags into the vagina
8). Risk factors for uterine prolapse
Ans: menopause, pregnancy, coughing, constipation, obesity, pelvic floor trauma,
vaginal birth, hysterectomy, connective tissue disorders, spina bifida
9). Uterine prolapse treatment
Ans: - kegel exercises
- estrogen therapy
- maintaining a healthy bmi, preventing constipation, treating chronic cough
- pessary
- surgical option s last resort
10). Polycystic ovarian syndrome
Ans: defined as two of the following three features
- irregular ovulation
-elevated adrogens (testosterone)
- and the appearance of polycystic ovaries on ultrasound
11). Differentials for pcos
Ans: - thyroid dysfunction

- congenital adrenal hyperplasia
12). Characteristics associated with pcos
Ans: -metabolic dysfunction
- dyslipidemia
- insulin resistance
- obesity

, 13).
Ans: (1) diagnosis and education;
(2) lifestyle change - loss of 10% of body weight may help;
(3) birth control pills help with some symptoms;
(4) diabetes medications & dietary treatment may slowly normalize physiology (lower
sugar, lower insulin, fewer androgens)
14). Testicular cancer
Ans: malignant tumor in one or both testicles commonly developing from the germ
cells that produce sperm; classified in two groups according to growth potential
15). Conditions that increase risk of testicular cancer
Ans: - being a man between the ages of 20-45
- cryptochidism (undescended testicle)
- family history
- previous testicle cancer
- white men are more likely
16). Symptoms of breast cancer
Ans: change in the shape or appearance of your breasts, skin or nipple changes such
as dimpling of the skin, Squeeze each nipple gently to identify any discharge, chest pain
(mets to the lung)
17). Signs of premenstrual dysphoric disorder
Ans: physical - breast tenderness, abdominal bloating, headache and swelling of
extremities
emotional - depression anger, irritability and fatigue
resolve with menstruation
18). Causes of dysfunctional uterine bleeding
Ans: can be due to structural (polyp, malignancies and hyperplasia) or non structural
causes (coagulopathy, ovulatory dysfuction, endometrial
19). Treatment for abnormal uterine bleeding
Ans: - NSAIDS
(reduce prostaglandin, causes vasoconstriction, and decreased menstrual bleeding)
