Tier 2 Birth Control
Fail rate 2-3%; OCP, COC's, transdermals, cervical ring.
Tier 1 Birth Control
Fail rate <1%; IUD, DMPA (Depo), Progestin implant, sterilization
Follicular Phase
The first phase of the ovarian cycle, during which a follicle (an oocyte and its
surroudning cells) enlarges and matures. This phase is under the control of FSH from
the anterior pituitary, and typically lasts from day 1 to day 14 of the menstrual cycle. The
follicle secretes estrogen during this time period.
Ovulatory Phase
The second stage of the general menstrual cycle, when the mature ovum is released.
Approximately 10 to 12 hours after the LH peak
Luteal Phase
The third phase of the ovarian cycle, during which a corpus luteum is formed from the
remnants of the follicle that has ovulated its oocyte. The corpus luteum secretes
progestrone and estrogen during this time period, which typically lasts from day 15 to
day 28 of the menstrual cycle. Formation of the corpul luteum is triggered by the same
LH surge that triggers ovulation, however in the absence of LH (levels quickly decline
after the surge) the corpus luteum begins to degenerate.
Pelvic mass
- Benign: unilateral, mobile, cystic, smooth, < 10cm, calcification, gravity dependent
layering of cyst contents
- Malignant: bilateral, fixed, solid/firm, nodular, multiple septations <2mm, ascites
- enlarging mass or with pain= immediate evaluation
- ascites or upper abd mass, abd distention= ovarian CA
- Ultrasound= benign or malignant, color flow doppler studies= vascular pattern, surgery
is needed for malignancy histology

-met for recent gyn. instrumentation or BVAmenorrhea simply means absence of menses and is part of the spectrum of ovulatory disorders
classifed as AUB-O. The most common causes of amenorrhea are pregnancy, hypothalamic amenorrhea,
and PCOS
No menses by age 14 in the absence of growth or development of secondary sexual characteristcs
No menses by age 16 regardless of the presence of normal growth and development of secondary sexual
characteristcs
In women who have menstruated previously, no menses for an interval of tme equivalent to a total of at
least three previous cycles, or 6 months
Secondary amenorrhea is defned as 3 months without a menses once menses has been established.
The queston “Have you had any bleeding from the vagina?” can assist in determining primary,
secondary, and potental causes.
exercise-induced amenorrhea is complex and most likely due to the combinaton of low body fat and
diminished secreton of GnRH. Lower GnRH levels result in fewer luteinizing hormone (LH) and folliclestmulatng hormone (FSH) pulses, which in turn decreases the amount of estrogen produced by the
ovaries. Treat= All women with anovulation require management of this condition: If left untreated,
endometrial cancer can occur, regardless of the woman’s age. Typically treatment consists of
inducing menses using a progestogen such as medroxyprogesterone acetate 5 to 10 mg daily
for the first 12 to 14 days of the cycle or OC to induce menstrual cycle.
primary dysmenorrhea is a diagnosis of EXCLUSION, in other words, secondary causes must be ruled out
before rendering the diagnosis.
Primary dysmenorrhea is likely based on history as well as an unremarkable physical exam and a
negatve pregnancy test.
The most common MISDIAGNOSIS of primary dysmenorrhea is secondary dysmenorrhea due to
endometriosis.
Like endometriosis, fbroids can be associated with menorrhagia, infertlity and bowel and bladder
complaints. Uterine fbroids are the most common indicaton for hysterectomy in the United States.
The most common symptom is post-menopausal bleeding. Therefore, providers should
assume that ALL women with post-menopausal bleeding OR women ≥ 45 years with
AUB have endometrial cancer UNTIL proven otherwise with endometrial biopsy
AUB are based on the cause and may include pharmacologic measures such as
contraceptives, GnRHs, NSAIDs and antifibrinolytics. Non-pharmacological
interventions typically include surgical methods such as endometrial ablation, thermal
endometrium destruction, uterine artery embolization and hysterectomy. Referral isindicated for an unidentified cause of AUB, complicated cases, refractory treatment, and
surgery.
Biopsy is required to definitively ascertain whether a mass is solid versus cystic, and
benign versus malignant. A fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy is a minimally invasive
way to differentiate solid and cystic masses, and provides for cytologic evaluation of a
palpable mass.
VC characteristic pseudohyphae may be seen on a wet smear done with normal saline,
Gnorrhea The first stage is characterized by bacteremia with chills, fever, and skin lesions; it is
followed by the second stage during which the patient experiences acute septic arthritis with
characteristic effusions, most commonly in the wrists, knees, and ankles
Many functional cysts will resolve within 3 months Asymptomatic simple ovarian cysts less than
10 cm in diameter, including functional cysts and benign neoplasms, have a low probability of
malignancy and can be followed with serial imaging. There is little evidence-based guidance for
timing of repeat ultrasounds, but they are generally obtained at 3-or 6-month intervals to
establish stability hormonal contraceptives can be used to control repeated episodes of
symptomatic functional cysts.
Tests appropriately ordered in primary care while specialist consultation is pending
include cancer antigen 125 (CA-125), alpha fetoprotein (AFP), lactate dehydrogenase
(LDH), and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)
Natonally reportable infectons chancroid, chlamydia, gonorrhea, hepatitis, HIV, and syphilis
Atypical Squamous Cells of Undetermined Significance (ASCUS)
o Reflex testing for HPV on abnormal PAP results and repeat testing is based on those
results
Atypical Glandular Cells (AGCs)
o More common in older women (ages 40-69 years)
o 1/3 of cases are associated with pre-malignancy or malignancy
o Risk of cancer increases with age
o Refer for Endometrial Biopsy
Low-Grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesions (LSIL)
o Cervical cells are mildly abnormal
o Usually caused by a low risk HPV infectiono Appropriateness of repeat screening vs. referral for diagnostic testing is largely
dependent upon whether or not the woman is HPV + and age
High-Grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesions (HSIL)
o Abnormal cervical cells which are more likely to be associated with premalignancy and
malignancy.
o Refer immediately for cervical biopsy and treatment (Colposcopy or LEEP procedure)
PID experience vary widely. Historically, the abrupt onset of acute lower abdominal pain
following menses
). Substantial clinical improvement should occur within 72 hours of beginning treatment.
Women who do not respond within this time frame should be reevaluated to confirm the
diagnosis of PID; ceftrianone 250 im, doxy 100 mg 14 days, flagyl 500 mg bid x 14 day
An increased risk of PID is seen in the first 21 days after IUD insertion
Infant length increases an average of 2.5 cm (1 inch) a month during the first 6 months
the infant should be going to the breast 8 to 12 times (or every 2 to 3 hours) in 24 hours for
approximately 20 to 45 minutes at each feeding. 6 wet diapers in 24 hours
Head circumference: Head Circumference
Like the rest of the growing infant, head circumference growth is rapid. During the first 6 months of life, head
circumference increases approximately 1.5 cm (0.6 inches) per month. During the second 6 months of age, head
circumference slows to only 0.5 cm (0.2 inches) per month. On average, the head circumference is 43 cm (17 inches) at 6
months and increases to 46 cm (18 inches) by 12 months, which represents a 33% increase from birth. During this time,
the cranial sutures close. The posterior fontanel closes between 6 and 8 weeks of age while the anterior fontanel closes
around 14 months, with a range between 12 and 18 months of age. During the first 12 months of life, the brain size
increases by 2.5 times. Developmental milestone achievement illustrates brain growth and differentiation.
Smiling at you: By 3 months, the infant has a social smile, and smiles in response to their
parent’s voice.
4-5 months Infants spontaneously smile and visually follow their parent by turning their head.
Throwing ball: 12 months – rolls a ball, 24 months kicks ball,s 36 months – catches a ball 48
months- throws ball underhand
Gun safety- knowing friends Teaching about gun safety is always critical. Working to strengthen
the developmental competencies of youth includes educating youths at an early age about
violence and its prevention, teaching anger management and strategies for preventing a fght
(role-playing), and promoting self-defense strategies, such as learning a martial art and
discussing ways to manage difcult or potentially violent situations Suggest discussions with
friends about ways to handle potential situations in which a gun or knife might be brandished.
Breast cancer screening guidelines Mammogram every 2 years for women aged 50–74 (grade: B).
Decisions regarding biennial screening for women aged 40–49 should be made on an individual
basis (grade: C).Insufficient evidence to recommend for or against screening after age 74 (I Statement).
Recommends against teaching self-breast examination (grade: D).
Hpv infections:
Mom passing immunity and vaccination of child: Maternal immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies
provide the fetus with passive immunity. Promote exclusive breastfeeding for the frst 6 months
of life to promote passive immunity and guard against exposure to contaminated food and water.
which provides immunity for approximately 3 months postdelivery. Between 1 and 3 months,
infants begin to synthesize IgG that reaches 40% of adult levels by 1 year of age. At birth, the
newborn produces signifcant amounts of immunoglobulin M (IgM), which reaches adult levels
by 9 months of age. Secretory IgA is absent at birth but is present in saliva and tears by 5
weeks. During infancy, the function and quality of T-lymphocytes, lymphokines, interferon-γ,
interleukins, tumor necrosis factor and complement are reduced resulting in the infant’s
inability to optimally respond to infectious bacteria and viruses. The levels of IgA, IgD, and IgE
are reduced and do not mature until after infancy.
Chlamydia slide: The USPSTF recommends using nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) to
diagnose chlamydia and gonorrhea infections, both of which can be tested using the same
specimen. Increased numbers of white blood cells in addition to the presence of clue cells
suggest a concurrent vaginitis or coinfection with trichomoniasis, chlamydia, or candidiasis.
Yeast infection slide: VC < 4.5 (usually) With KOH: pseudohyphae with yeast buds Thick or thin,
white, curd-like (“cottage cheese”), adherent Yes, swelling, excoriation, redness, may have
skin cracking in servere cases. Vaginal itching, burning, and/or discharge
BV slide: Immediately after obtaining the vaginal secretions (whether by clinician collection or a
woman’s self-swab as described in Appendix 6-B), mix one sample with normal saline
solution, and a second sample with a 10% solution of potassium hydroxide (KOH). Candida
albicans, Trichomonas vaginalis, clue cells (epithelial cells with indistinct borders due to
adherent bacteria) associated with bacterial vaginosis, and white blood cells can be seen in
normal saline solution. Microscopy has poor sensitivity for T. vaginalis detection; NAAT testing is
recommended if trichomoniasis is suspected (see Appendix 6-B and Chapter 19) (CDC,
2015). Potassium hydroxide lyses trichomonads, white blood cells, and most bacteria, making
visualization of Candida species easier. The presence of an amine or fishy odor with the
addition of KOH to the vaginal secretions should be noted (whiff test), and is associated with,
but not diagnostic for, bacterial vaginosis and trichomoniasis.
With saline solution: positive for clue cells, decreased lactobacilli Thin, homogenous, grayishwhite, adherent, fshy odor, Mild itching, if present at all,vaginal odor is often worse after
intercourse.
Bartholiins: 25yo female c/o tender area near her introitus and to the L of her perineum. Very
painful sex was first sign. Initially bump was very small, but now is ping-pong ball size. On
exam, abscess is present on L medial side of labia minora and there's edema extending into
perineum. What is dx?
a. Lipoma
b. Dermoid cyst
c. Bartholin's cyst
d. Skene's duct cystCervical ca screen: Pap test every 3 years for all women aged 21–65 (grade: A). Co-testing
with Pap test and HPV testing for women aged 30–65 who wish to extend the screening
interval (grade: A). Recommends against screening women younger than age 21.
Recommends against screening women older than age 65 if they have had adequate
prior screening and are otherwise not at risk for cervical cancer. Recommends against
screening women who have had a total hysterectomy for benign disease. Recommends
against screening women younger than age 30 with HPV testing alone or with Pap test.
