Menstrual Cycle Physiology (from Chapter 5)
Menstrual phase - endometrium becomes very thin d/t low estrogen levels
- Hypophysis secretes more FSH
- FSH stimulates secretion of estrogen and estrogen serves as proliferation signal to
the endometrial basal layer
- Follicular phase
- Follicles secrete as they mature, increasing amts of estrogen which thickens the
new functional layer of endometrium in uterus
-simulates crypts in cervix to produce fertile cervical mucus
-end of phase= ovulation
Menstrual Cycle Pain and Premenstrual Conditions
- Dysmenorrhea- originates from uterine cx during menstrual phase, triggers
prostaglandin production and release. This increases contraction of uterus,
reduces uterine blood flow, and causes ischemia/pain
Risk factors- age <30, smoking, bmi<20, early menarche, hx pelvic
surgery, depression
Primary- 6-12 months after menarche, continues 8-72 hours into cycle
Secondary- caused by pelvic pathology, pain increases over time, occurs
before, during, and after menses
Adenomysis, IBS, endometriosis, leiomyoma, interstitial cystitis
- #1 cause of secondary dysmenorrhea is endometriosis- it causes tissue to attach to
surrounding organs and breaks off and bleeds. Patients can also have constipation,
diarrhea, and bloating.
1. Which uterine positions is most associated with dysparenunia and dysmenorrhea
- Retroverted and retroflexed
2. Post coital bleeding
- Atrophic vaginitis
3. PMS occurs with greatest frequency and severity in
- Late luteal phase
4. Which layer of the ovaries contains lymphatics and blood vessels
- Central medulla
Normal and Abnormal Uterine Bleeding
- Structural
P- Polyps- deep bright red growths, bleed easily
A- Adenomyosis- occurs in multiparous, over age 40, occurs with
tamoxifen use
L- Leiomyoma- fibroids- leading indication for hysterectomy
M- Malignancy- hyperplasia
- Non-structural
C- Coagulopathy- von willebrands disease (easy bruising, bleeds heavy)
, O- Ovulatory dysfunction- anovulation (occurs with pregnancy, bmi<18,
lactation, excessive exercise, perimenopause, pcos, thyroid/pituitary
issues)
E- Endometrial- predictive, cyclic manner, can also be caused by
chlamydia/gonorrhea
I- Iatrogenic- example- mirena, skyla, SSRIs
N- Not yet classified

4. Which muscle is considered to be the most critical component of pelvic support
, - Levatorani muscle
5. The bartholins glands are located at
- 4 and 8 o clock
6. What is responsible for regulating gynecologic organ activities
- FSH AND LH
7. The proliferative, secretory and menstrual phases make up
- Endometrial cycle
Gynecologic History and Physical Examination
1. Which kind of speculum is often most suitable for examination of the nulliparous
patient?
- Peterson speculum
2. Which speculum is most appropriate for the exam of a parous menstrual woman
- Graves
3. Elevating the head of the examining table 30 degrees facilitates the
- Observation of the patients responses

being heard and accepted is an illustration of the principle of
- Empathy
5. Which of the follow about breast exam is correct
- Inspection is done first
6. During bimanual exam of the adnexa in normal premenopausal women, the
ovaries are palpable
- About half of the time
7. Which uterine configuration is most difficult to assess for size, shape,
configuration, and mobility
- Retroverted
8. Inquiry concerning adult and child history of sexual abuse and assault should be

- Always even for a new patient
9. A transducer is placed in the vagina to measure intra abdominal pressure as part
of
- Multichannel urodynamic testing

- Procidentia
13. Cystocele is best defined as
- Descent or prolapse of the bladder
14. Breast exams should be done during what phase of the menstrual cycle

15. Most acute cause of pelvic pain are prob
- Salpingo-oophoritis secondary to PID
, Periodic Screening and Health Maintenance

- Pap every 3 years for all women 21-65
- Pap with co testing of HPV every 5 years 30-65
- No pap for women over 65 and who have had a hysterectomy
- Clinical breast exam yearly age 20 and older
- Bone density for women age 65 and older
- Colorectal screening with colonoscopy every 10 and sigmoid every 5 age 50 and
older unless African American and they get screened at age 45 / don’t screen for
age 85 and older
- Fecal occult blood testing every year starting at age 50 -75
