🗑
complex derivative of fatty acid (prostanoic acid) that has widespread physiological effects   prostaglandin  
🗑
inflammation of fallopian tubes   salpingitis  
🗑
symptom complex in menstruating women using high-absorbency tampons, caused by toxin produced by staphylococcus growing in vagina   toxic shock syndrome (TSS)  
🗑
Candida albicans, Trichomonas vaginalis, & Gardnerella vaginalis in conjunction with anaerobic bacteria are all commons pathogens that cause   vaginitis  
🗑
scarring, sterility, & ectopic pregnancies are all caused by   untreated PID  
🗑
usually become manifest through cervical bleeding   cervical polyps  
🗑
colposcopy is required in order to localize & determine extent of abnormalities in cervical epithelium for   cervical dysplasia & carcinoma  
🗑
both benign endometrial hyperplasia & malignant endometrial carcinoma can cause   irregular uterine bleeding  
🗑
occur in approximately 0.3% of women over the age of 30   uterine myomas  
🗑
type of ovarian cyst that develops frequently & usually regresses spontaneously   dermoid  
🗑
causes irregular white patches, may progress to carcinoma, causes itching & can be treated locally   vulvar dystrophy  
🗑
manifests through fever, vomiting, diarrhea & erythematous rash   TSS  
🗑
increased tendency to thromboembolic complications & hypertension are possible complications of   contraceptive pills  
🗑
is unreliable & must be used within one hour of sex   emergency contraception  
🗑
out of about 80 types of __ 40 of them can infect cervix   HPV  
🗑
eight types of HPV are considered   carcinogenic high-risk types  
🗑
90 percent of HPV infections are eradicated by   the body's immune system  
🗑
HPV testing of cervical material obtained by Pap smear may be a useful supplementary test when   atypical cells identified by Pap smear  
🗑
Candida albicans, Trichomonas vaginalis, & Gardenerella vaginalis in conjunction w/ various anaerobic bacteria   all causes of vaginitis  
🗑
vaginal discharge, itching, and irritation are all   symptoms of vaginitis  
🗑

🗑
laparascopy is used to diagnose   edometriosis  
🗑
Allows visualization of ectopic deposits followed by removing or destroying these deposits surgically, through drugs, or hormones   laparascopy  
🗑
synthetic hormones with progesterone activity to completely suppress menstrual cycle   treatment for endometriosis  
🗑
makes endometrium thin and atrophic and menstrual cycles light, which retards progressing of endometriosis and associated scarring   oral contraceptives to suppress ovulation  
🗑
leads to decline in ovarian function, allowing deposits of endometriosis to regress by being deprived of cyclic estrogen-progesterone stimulation   drugs that suppress output of gonadotropin from pituitary gland  
🗑

🗑
may progress to invasive carcinoma, may progress to in situ carcinoma, & does not regress   severe cervical dysplasia  
🗑
cervical dysplasia and in situ carcinoma constitute different stages in a progressive spectrum of epithelial abnormalities classified as   cervical intra-epithelial neoplasia (CIN)  
🗑
Mild dysplasia is called   CIN I
