GYNAECOLOGYPart2 Dr Nina Cooper SpR Obstetrics & Gynaecology North West Thames DeaneryStructureforToday: There is MORE INFORMATION on the slides than I can explain in 45 minutes, so I will share the slides with the committee. Session 1 • Gynaecological cancers • Urogynaecology 10 minute break Session 2 • Benign gynaecology • Reproductive medicine, subfertility and menopause care To be covered at a later date: early pregnancy, acute gynaecology and gynaecological emergenciesDISCLAIMER All questions have been written by myself and should not be copied, distributed or shared without prior permission. Every effort has been made for answers to be in line with national guidance, however you should follow guidance from your local medical school if any answer conflicts with your teaching.Session 3: BENIGNGYNAECOLOGYQuestion1 A 16 year old presents to her GP with absence of periods. She reports cylical lower abdominal pain however no bleeding. She has normal secondary sexual characteristics and normal growth. What is the most likely diagnosis? 1. Imperforate hymen 2. Asherman’s syndrome 3. Turner’s syndrome 4. Bicornuate uterus 5. Kallmann’s syndromeQuestion2 A 33 year old woman is referred to gynaecology outpatients with heavy menstrual periods. A bimanual examination reveals a mobile uterus at 20 week size. A diagnosis of fibroids is suspected. She is keen to fall pregnant so would like to avoid treatment for now. Which of the following statements is false regarding fibroids in pregnancy? 1. Women who have had breach of the cavity at myomectomy will require a caesarean section 2. Large fibroids in the upper uterine segment may cause obstructed labour 3. Women with submucosal fibroids are at higher risk of major obstetric haemorrhage 4. Fibroid degeneration may occur during pregnancy 5. Most women with fibroids will have an uncomplicated pregnancyQUESTION3 A 25 year old girl is referred from her GP to gynaecology outpatients with severe dysmenorrhoea. She has tried mefenamic acid. Bimanual reveals a fixed, immobile 10-week sized uterus. A pelvic ultrasound demonstrates a globular uterus. What is the most likely diagnosis? 1. Endometriosis 2. Complex atypical hyperplasia 3. Endometriosis with adenomyosis 4. Endometrial cancer 5. AdenomyosisQUESTION4 A 38 year old woman presents with mood disturbance during the week prior to her period. She reports increased tearfulness and irritability. Which of the following is not a treatment for premenstrual syndrome? 1. Evening primrose oil 2. Combined oral contraceptive pill 3. SSRI 4. CBT 5. Hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomyQuestion1 A 16 year old presents to her GP with absence of periods. She reports cylical lower abdominal pain however no bleeding.

Kallmann’s syndromeDISORDERSOFREPRODUCTIVEDEVELOPMENT Primary Amenorrhoea - when to suspect • Girls who have not established menstruation by the age of 13 years and have no secondary sexual characteristics (such as breast development). • Girls who have not established menstruation by the age of 15 years and have normal secondary sexual characteristics.HPGAxisHPGAxisQuestion2 A 33 year old woman is referred to gynaecology outpatients with heavy menstrual periods. A bimanual examination reveals a mobile uterus at 20 week size. A diagnosis of fibroids is suspected. She is keen to fall pregnant so would like to avoid treatment for now.

Fibroid degeneration may occur during pregnancy 5. Most women with fibroids will have an uncomplicated pregnancy FIBROIDS • In pregnancy – associated wth preterm labour, malpresentation, transverse lie, obstructive labour and PPH • Menorrhagia and dysmenorrhoea symptoms more related to site rather than size • Submucosal can lead to menorrhagia or IMB • Can impair fertility due to distortion of uterine cavity, prevention of implantation or obstruction of the tubal ostiaMANAGEMENTOFFIBROIDS None if asymptomatic Medical: • TXA, NSAIDs, progestogens (give norethisterone for 5/7 usually) • GnRH can be used to shrink prior to surgery but only for 6/12 as reduce BMD Surgical • Hysteroscopy: if small submucosal or polypoid • Myomectomy: open or laparoscopic - if wishing to preserve fertility. Any uterine incision can increase risk of uterine rupture during labour therefore should book for elective caesarean • Hysterectomy IR: uterine artery embolisation – can be considered in those wishing future pregnancy • Potential risk of reduced placental blood supply or uterine rupture due to relative myometrial ischaemiaQUESTION3 A 25 year old girl is referred from her GP to gynaecology outpatients with severe dysmenorrhoea.
