Graded Clinical and Theoretical Q&A
invitro fertilization - ✔✔-womens ovaries are stimulated with medication
-one or more oocytes are aspirated with US guidance
-fertilization in lab
-placed in uterus after normal embryo development has begun (3-5 days)
how much does in vitro fertilization cost - ✔✔~12,400 per cycle
intracytoplasmic sperm injection - ✔✔-Oocytes retrieved laparoscopically
-Single sperm injected into egg
-Embryo transferred to uterus in 3-5 days
gamete intrafallopian transfer - ✔✔-oocytes retrieved laparoscopically, immediately placed
in a catheter with sperm
-gametes are placed in the fimbriated end of the fallopian tube
-fertilization occurs in fallopian tube (women must have one normal tube)
-fertilized egg moves to uterus through tube as normal
symptoms of bacterial vaginosis - ✔✔-fishy odor (especially after intercourse)
-thin, watery gray/white discharge
diagnosis for bacterial vaginosis - ✔✔-wet prep microscopy
-KOH solution
-clue cells
-vaginal pH >4.5%
treatment for bacterial vaginosis - ✔✔metronidazole
, candidiasis - ✔✔yeast infection with pH change
predisposing factors to candidiasis - ✔✔-antibiotics
-diabetes
-pregnancy
-obesity
symptoms of candidiasis - ✔✔-itching
-thick, white, lumpy discharge
-red, swollen labia, cervix, and vagina
candidiasis diagnosis - ✔✔-vaginal swab/culture
-microscopy
prevention of candidiasis - ✔✔-wash genitalia with plain water, unscented soap
-wear breathable fabrics, cotton
-avoid scented feminine products
-avoid hot tubs
-probiotics (with antibiotic use)
treatment for candidiasis - ✔✔-antifungal creams and suppositories
-oral fluconazole
zygote intrafallopian transfer - ✔✔-oocytes retrieved laparoscopically
-fertilized in the lab
-resulting zygote is then placed into fallopian tube
-fertilized egg migrates to uterus through tube as normal
-women must have one normal tube
embryo cryopreservation - ✔✔the freezing of embryos for later use (10-20% do not survive)
