1
Q

Premature ovarian failure - definition / presentation and endocrine profile

A

premature atresia of ovarian follicles in women of reproductive age

Q

Polysystic ovarian (Stein-Leventhal) syndrome - mechanism

A

hyperinsulinemia and/or insulin resistance is hypothesized to alter hypothalamic hormonal feedback response –> high LH/FSH –> increased androgen production from theca cells (LH) (–> hirsutism) but low estrogen (no FSH on granulosa), low rate of follicular maturation –> unruptured follicles (cysts) + anovulation

Q

Polysystic ovarian (Stein-Leventhal) syndrome - estrogen levels (mechanism)

A
  1. low 17β -estradiol (low FSH –> no aromatization granulosa cells)
  2. high estrone (aromatization of androgen on adiposse tissue)

Q

Granulosa cell tumor - clinical features

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. complex ovarian mass
    jevenile subtype: precocious puberty
    adult: brest tenderness, abnormal uterine bleeding
    postmenopausal bleeding
17
Q

granulosa cell tumor - management

Study These Flashcards
A 
endometrial biopsy (endometrial cancer)
surgery (tumor staging)
18
Q

how to check the quality of ovaries

Study These Flashcards
A

measure FSH at day 3

19
Q

infertility due to diminished ovarian reserve - characteristics

Study These Flashcards
A

regular menstrual cycles and decreased oocyte number + quality

20
Q

ovarian cancer - screening

Study These Flashcards
A

there is no screening

21
Q

ovarian torsion - treatment

Study These Flashcards
A

laparoscopy with detorsion
ovarian cystecomy
oophorectomy if nerosis or malignancy

22
Q

ovarian torsion - RF

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. ovarian mass
  2. reproductive age
  3. infertility treatment with ovulation induction
23
Q

Causes of hyperandrogenism in pregnancy - types and risk for fetal virilization

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. Luteoma –> high
  2. theca luteum cyst –> low
  3. Krukenberg tumor –> high
24
Q

Causes of hyperandrogenism in pregnancy - Krukenberg tumor - maternal clinical features

Study These Flashcards
A

bilateral solid ovarian masses on U/S

metastases from GI tract ca

25
Causes of hyperandrogenism in pregnancy - Luteoma - maternal clinical features
- yellow or yellow brown masses (often with areas of hemorrhage) of large lutein cells - solid ovarian masses on U/S (50% are bilateral) - regress spontaneously after delivery - 30% symptoms of hyperandrogenism
26
Causes of hyperandrogenism in pregnancy - theca luteum cyst - maternal clinical features
- bilateral cysts on U/S - associated with molar pregnancy + multiple gestation - regress spontaneously after delivery
27
ruptured ovarian cyst - clinical presentation / US findings
sudden onsetm severe, unilateral lower abd pain immediately followgin strenuous or sexual activity U/S: pelvic free fluid
28
ovarian mass in postemeupausal patients is investigated by
pelvic U/S and CA-124 --> IF NO MALIGNANT FEATRUES ON u/s AND NO HIGH ca-125 --> --> OBSERVATION WITH U/S - IF 1 OF THEM IS SUSUCPICIOUS --> MRI or CT
29
PCOS - levels of FSH, GNRH, estrogen
- increased estrogen - increased GnRH - normal FSH INCREASED LH:FSH
30
Polycystic ovarian syndrome - symptoms
Symptoms in women of reproductive age: 1. amenorrhea or irregular menses 2. Hisrutism and obesity 3. acne 4. DM2
31
Polycystic ovarian syndrome - diagnosis
pelvic US: bilaterally enlarged ovaries with multiple cysts present free testosterone elevated (2ry to high androgens) LH to FSH RATIO MORE THAN 3:1
32
Polycystic ovarian syndrome - treatment
1. Weigh loss (decrease insulin resistance) 2. OCP control the amounts of estrogn and progestin that are in the body --> control androgens and prevent endometrial hyperplasia (ONLY if they do not want children) 3. Clomiphene and metformin (if they want to conceive) 4. ketoconazole / spironolactone
33
rupture ovarian cyst - fever
NO | just diffuse abd pain
34
epithelial ovarian Ca - management
exploratory laparotomy
35
ruptured ovarian cyst - clinical presentation / US findings
sudden onsetm severe, unilateral lower abd pain immediately followgin strenuous or sexual activity U/S: pelvic free fluid
36
teratoma in U/S
calcifications | hyperechoic
