Summary

  • have a family history of breast or cervical cancer - have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc. - Blood clotting disorders.

This on-demand teaching session with PreClinEazy X Cardiff Medsoc will give medical professionals a comprehensive summary of the functional anatomy, histology and hormones of the reproductive system, contraception methods and STIs. Using up-to-date information on the menstrual cycle and cervical cancer, it will cover questions related to the structure and function of ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix and vagina, as well as the types of cells found in the ectocervix. It will also explain the different types of contraception, their efficacy and contraindications.

D Cervix Endometrium E Question 1 A Ovary Infundibulum of uterine tube B In which part of the reproductive system is fertilization mCst Ampulla of uterine tube likely? D Cervix Endometrium E Uterine Tube Ampulla Isthmus The Ampulla is wide and convoluted with a thin wall – it is where the ovum has the highest chance of Infundibulum fertilisation Fimbriae Ovary Uterine Wall Endometrium = where the zygote is embedded Epithelial layer that increases in thickness through the menstrual cycle Myometrium = thickest layer made up of smooth muscle This increases in size (hypertrophy) and cell number (hyperplasia) during pregnancy Perimetrium = outermost layer of the uterus which is the same as visceral peritoneum Question 2 A Simple columnar Simple squamous B What is the cell type of the ectocervix? C Stratified keratinized squamous D Stratified non-keratinized squamous Stratified cuboidal E Question 2 A Simple columnar Simple squamous B What is the cell type of the ectocervix? C Stratified keratinized squamous D Stratified non-keratinized squamous Stratified cuboidal ECervix Cervix: Transformational zone – in the squamocolumnar junction where cells change and undergo dysplasia. This area is tested in the cervical smear test as it the most likely area to be precancerous Fornix: Gutters surrounding the cervix. These are an important landmark for a culdocentesis to drain fluid from the pelvic cavity Ruggae: Ruggae in the vagina expand during child birth and sexual intercourse • Cervical cancer is the 4th most common cancer effecting women globally • HPV types 16 and 18 are responsible for approximately 70% of cases • Cervical screening is offered to women Smear Testing aged 25 to 64 and is every 3-5 years dependent on where in the UK you live • Tests for HPV, if positive, this is a triage for cytology testing which looks to see if the cell cytoplasm has shrunk which can be indicative of cancerous cells Question 3 A Broad ligament Round ligament B What structure connects the uterus to the labia majora via the C Ovarian ligament inguinal canal? D Cardinal ligament Suspensary ligament E Question 3 A Broad ligament Round ligament B What structure connects the uterus to the labia majora via the C Ovarian ligament inguinal canal? D Cardinal ligament Suspensary ligament E Ovarian ligament – connects ovary to uterus Round ligament – connects uterus to labia majora via INSERT HEADING the inguinal canal INSERT SUBHEADING contains ovarian artery and vein, connects ovaries to lateral pelvic wall INSERT TEXT INSERT TEXT Broad ligament – double fold of peritoneum that attaches uterus to pelvic INSERT TEXT wall Cardinal ligament – contains uterine artery and vein, connects cervix to lateral pelvic wallMenstrual Cycle Question 4 A Inhibition of LH and FSH by negative feedback Granulosa cells development B Which of the following is a function of progesterone? C Ovulation D Spiral artery elongation Proliferation of the stratum functionalis E Question 4 A Inhibition of LH and FSH by negative feedback Granulosa cells development B Which of the following is a function of progesterone? C Ovulation D Spiral artery elongation Proliferation of the stratum functionalis EOvarian and Uterine Cycle Oestrogen • Granulosa cell developmentt • Stratum functionalis formation • Spiral artery elongation INSERT IMAGE HERE • Oviduct peg cells secrete nourishment Progesterone • Endometrium secretes mucus • Endometrium thickens • Decrease FSH and LH by negative feedbackContraception Barrier COCP POP Emergency Other Methods Barrier Methods Diaphragms and cervical caps Condoms • Silicone caps that fit over the cervix • Perfect use = 98% effective • Perfect use with spermicide gel = • Typical use = 82% effective 95% effective • Protects against STIs • Little STI protection Question 5 A IUD Combined oral contraceptive pill B A 23 year old female who has recently had a DVT is C Progesterone only contraceptive pill requesting contraception. Which of the following forms of contraception should the GP NOT prescribe? D Implant Depot injection E Question 5 A IUD Combined oral contraceptive pill B A 23 year old female who has recently had a DVT is C Progesterone only contraceptive pill requesting contraception. Which of the following forms of contraception should the GP NOT prescribe? D Implant Depot injection E Barrier Methods COCP POP Emergency Other COCP contains both Oestrogen: Progesterone: - Inhibits LH oestrogen and progesterone - Inhibits FSH - Thickens cervical mucus - Reduces ciliary action in uterine tube - Means there is no follicular development - Reduces proliferation of the endometrium Combined Pill Over 99% effective with Increases risk of breast and Increases risk of VTE and perfect use cervical cancer hypertension About 92% effective with Avoid use in patients with Reduces risk of endometrial BRCA genes and cervical cancer real use Barrier COCP POP Emergency Other Methods Progesterone Taking the pill - Take at the same time everyday - Levonorgestrel or Norethisterone - No pill free break - Inhibits LH - Desogestrel (12 hour window) and - Thickens cervical mucus - Reduces ciliary action in uterine tubes Levonorgestrel (3 hour window) - Reduces proliferation of the endometrium - If pill is missed, must use barrier contraception for 48 hours How effective?

The patient describes these pain episodes as a brief and stab-like sensation that lasts a few minutes. He B Side effect of HIV medications reports that the falls are most frequent when he is in a dark room. Medical history is significant C Spinal cord injury for HIV infection, which is being managed with anti-retroviral therapy. However, he states that he forgets to take his medication on multiple D HIV related illness occasions. On physical examination, the patient's pupils do not respond when exposed to light, but E Tabes dorsalis has normal accommodation. There is impaired vibratory and proprioception sense of the lower extremity along with absent patellar reflexes. What is the likely diagnosis?
