Q:l Menstruall cyclel physiology
Answer:
-Onel maturel ovuml isl releasedl everyl 28l days -Duringl thel 1stl halfl ofl thel menstruall cycle,l estrogenl levelsl risel andl thel endometriuml growsl andl thickens -Onl dayl 14,l onel folliclel breaksl openl andl releasesl itsl eggl celll =l ovulation -Progesteronel levelsl risel andl helpl preparel thel uterusl forl pregnancy -Ifl pregnancyl doesl notl occur,l estrogenl andl progesteronel levelsl drop,l andl thel thickenedl liningl ofl thel uterusl isl shedl =l menstruall period
Q:l Ovarianl Cycle
Answer:
-Eggsl developl insidel asl follicles -Thel cyclel isl 28l daysl long
Q:l Follicularl Phase
Answer:
-FSHl andl LHl stimulatesl growthl ofl thel follicle;l estrogenl levelsl continuel tol rise -Firstl halfl isl menses,l secondl halfl isl proliferativel phasel =l thickeningl ofl endometrium -Towardsl dayl 14,l therel isl al largel secretionl ofl LHl calledl thel "luteall surge" -Finall stage:l ovulation;l thel eggl isl released 1 / 4
Q:l Luteall Phase
Answer:
-Becausel thel folliclel nol longerl existsl andl becomesl thel corpusl luteum,l itl beginsl tol mass-producel progesterone -Progesteronel stimulatesl andl preparesl thel uterinel liningl forl implantation
-Secretoryl phase:l FSHl andl LHl continuel tol bel suppressed
-Corpusl luteuml beginsl tol die,l atrophies,l andl estrogenl andl progesteronel plummetl (whenl nol pregnancyl occurs) -Thel luteall phasel ends,l thel follicularl phasel beginsl withl endometriall sheddingl andl menstruation
Q:l Vaccinesl duringl pregnancy
Answer:
-Contraindicated:l livel vaccinesl i.e.l MMR,l orall polio,l varicella,l herpesl zoster,l andl flumist

Q:l Tierl 1l contraception
Answer:
Mostl effectivel withl al failurel ratel ofl lessl thanl 1% -IUD:Levonorgestrell increasesl cervicall mucusl tol makel sperml penetrationl morel difficult 2 / 4
-DMPA:Depol Provera,l progestinl only,l lastsl 3l months
-Progestinl implants:l Nexplanonl subcutaneousl implant,l effectivel upl tol 3l years;l slowl releasel ofl progestinl tol suppressl ovulationl byl inhibitingl LHl surge
-Sterilization:l tuball ligationl orl vasectomy
Q:l Tierl 2l contraception
Answer:
Failurel ratel betweenl 2-3% -Combinedl orall contraceptives -Progestinl onlyl "minipill" -Emergencyl contraception -Transdermall patch:l slowl releasel estrogenl andl progesterone;l appliedl weeklyl withl 4thl weekl patch-free -Cervicall ring:l slowl releasel estrogenl andl progesterone;l removedl forl onel weekl atl al time,l inl placel forl 3l weeks
Q:l Tierl 3l contraception
Answer:
Leastl reliablel methodl withl al failurel ratel ofl upl tol 20% -Barrierl methods,l naturall familyl planning,l andl coitusl interruptus
Q:l Amenorrhea:l Etiology
Answer:
-Mostl commonl causes:l pregnancy,l hypothalamicl amenorrhea,l andl PCOS

-Secondaryl amenorrhea:l 3l monthsl withoutl mensesl oncel mensesl hasl beenl established -Causes:l anatomicl defects,l ovarianl failure,l chronicl anovulation,l anteriorl pituitaryl disorders,l CNSl disorders
Q:l Amenorrheal classifications
- / 4
Answer:
-Disordersl ofl thel genitall outflowl tract -Disordersl ofl thel ovaryl (mostl commonl cause,l testl estrogenl levels) -Disordersl ofl thel anteriorl pituitary -Disordersl ofl thel hypothalamusl orl centrall nervousl system
Q:l Etiologyl andl treatmentl ofl primaryl dysmenorrhea
Answer:
-Cyclicall menstruall painl withl nol identifiablel pelvicl disease -Almostl alwaysl associatedl withl ovulatoryl cycles -Occursl withinl firstl 6l monthsl ofl menarche -Becomesl morel severel withl age -Al diagnosisl ofl exclusionl (secondaryl causesl mustl bel ruledl out) -Thel mostl commonl MISDIAGNOSISl ofl primaryl dysmenorrheal isl secondaryl dysmenorrheal duel tol endometriosis -Treatl withl COCsl andl NSAIDs
Q:l Etiologyl andl treatmentl ofl secondaryl dysmenorrhea
Answer:
-Cyclicall menstruall painl thatl resultsl froml pelvicl pathologyl i.e.l pelvicl inflammatoryl disease,l endometriosis,l uterinel fibroidsl andl adenomyosis -Endometriosisl isl thel mostl commonl cause -Highl associationl withl autoimmunel conditionsl suchl asl Rheumatoidl Arthritisl (RA),l Sjögrensl syndromel andl SLE -Treatl withl progestin-onlyl contraceptivesl tol atrophyl thel endometriall liningl andl inhibitl ovulation
Q:l PMS
