history of heavy menstrual bleeding, What drug should be prescribed to be taken whilst awaiting
surgery? - ✔✔GnRH anaologue to reduce the size of fibroids
In who are fibroids more common? - ✔✔more common in Afro-Caribbean women

intrauterine system is recommended by CKS first-line
-other options include tranexamic acid, combined oral contraceptive pill etc

palpable per abdomen. The cardiotocogram shows late decelerations and a foetal heart rate of 100
beats/min which continue for 15 minutes. How should this situation be managed? - ✔✔C-section
(late decelerations in context of bradycardia is worrying)
, - can't do inhstrumental delivery because the cervix isnt fully dilated and baby's head is high

which commences with the onset of a contraction and returns to normal on completion of the
contraction
Usually inocuous- indicates head compression
What is the cause of a late deceleration and what does it mean? - ✔✔Deceleration of the heart rate
which lags the onset of a contraction and does not returns to normal until after 30 seconds following the
end of the contraction
Indicates fetal distress e.g. asphyxia or placental insufficiency
