polymenorrhoea vs oligomonorrehea
hypomonorrhea vs menorrhagia
dysmenorrhea?
last one is pcos
second is one we are focusing now
if bleeding or no pleeding ⇒ always keep [regnancy and its compications in mind!! If repro age!!!
Fibroid vs Adenomyosis
all fibroids are intramural to begin....and then they grow inside or towards the outside
pedunculated intracavitary or pedunculated sub serous if conencted by a stem which is called a pedicle
intracavitary peduculated is also called a fibroid polyp
and it itypically causes IMB not HMB!
Why fibroids leads to HMB? 1. increased sa 2 strecthing anf thinning of endometrium
a type of aendometriosis??
THERE FORE HISTORY TAKING IS IMPORTANT
severe congestiv vs smaspodic
between 8 and 12 must confirm later
laporatomy vs lapotrscopy vs hysteroscopic
fribroids normally sink after menapause. If hasnt shrink then can be sarcoma. so need hysterectomy then.
hysterscopy can be both investigative and therapurtic aso!
A parasitic fibroid is a rare type of fibroid that gets its blood supply from another organ in the body, rather than directly from the uterus. It is also known as a pedunculated fibroid or a fibroid in a parasitic location.
Endometrial Polyps and hyper plasia
per-speculim exam important to diagnose cervical cancer which is a common cancer
endometrial polyps is different from pedunculated fibroid polyp which is muscle and not endometrium
endometrium outgrowths ⇒ polyps
endometrium ingrowths ⇒ adenomyosis
both polyps cause inter mentrsual bleeding
feedlng vessel sign in this polyp and not fibroid because this is more vascular!S
vessels are feeding into it ......
hyperechoic area with feeding vessels
feeding vessels sign can be seen in hystersocpy as well
A polypectomy forceps typically has a more elongated and slender shape with a pointed tip, while a sponge forceps has a more rounded, spoon-like tip. Additionally, a polypectomy forceps may have a serrated or toothed edge to grasp tissue more securely, while a sponge forceps typically has a smooth edge.
hyetserscopy can be both diagnostic and thearaptuic
can treat by burning or cutting or ligating etc
But final diagnosis is by HPE send and diagnosed in the lab (to dx from other polyp)
Endometrial hyperplasia
check page on endometrial ca and post menapausal bleeding
endometrial sampling can be done by d and C and anything that gets the endometrium
but best is with endometrial sampling using the pipelle cannular which doesnt even need a vercial dialotor because its very thin. just iv sedation . and office procedure.
atypia meaning with atypical features like nuclei
HYESTERECTOMY ONLY AFTER CAREFUL CONSIDERATION
wont cause premature menapause or ovarian failure unless ovaries are removed as well H with bso (immdietate menapause)
But it can cause ovarian failure later on in 4 to 5 years!!
hystrectomy is not indicated in a benign conditions like hyperplasia without atypia
mirena has so much of advantages ⇒ amenorrhea and contraception too
Hysteroscopy is very flexible..can be dianostive, investigative and therapuetic too
endometrial ablation was done in the past but npw replaced by mirena
only done if medical failed and woman wants to conserve
but even then must first rule out malignancy
Uterine fibroids - case
Non structual causes
Ovulatory dysfunction
oligomenoerrhea followed by prelonged and heavybleeding
These above drugs can be used for the COEIN group if disorders...not just for ovulation disorders but if coagulopathy then cant use nsaids
ALWAYS EXCLUDE HYPERPLASIA AND MALIGNANCY FIRST EVEN BEFORE HORMONEAL TREATMENT BECAUSE IT CAN ALTER THE ENDOMETRIUM AND SKEW THE RESULT
