Complex series of biologic transitions during adolescence. development of secondary sexual characteristics is one aspect Puberty
Maturational increase in adrenal androgen production, which begins at about 6 years of age in both girls and boys. Causes hair growth, body odor, skin oiliness, acne Adrenarche
Seems to be unrelated to the pubertal maturation of the neuroendocrine-gonadotropin-gonadal axis Adrenarche
Beginning of breast development usually age 8 or beyond Thelarche
First menstruation; Averages 2.5 years after onset of puberty Menarche
Cyclical changes in hormones from hypothalamus, anterior pituitary and ovaries Menstrual cycle
If no fertilization menses occur
Menstrual cycle Produces one ______ which is ovulated mid cycle fully mature oocyte
Day 1: Bleeding starts Menses
ovarian follicles develop leading to mature graafian follicle; estrogen levels rise Follicular/proliferative phase
Follicular phase= estrogen
After ovulation; Mature follicle transforms into corpus luteum secreting progesterone and estrogen Luteal Phase
Luteal Phase = progesterone
Mature follicle transforms into corpus luteum secreting progesterone and estrogen
released by the hypothalamus in pulses Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH)
Initiates release of both LH and FSH by the anterior pituitary Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH)
High tonic levels GnRH supress the cycle used medically Lupron can induce a “medical menopause”
Released by the anterior pituitary; Essential for early ovarian follicle growth, Negative feedback on GnRH secretion Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)
Induces proliferation of granulosa cells in the follicle that secrete estrogen Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)
Induces granulosa cells to become sensitive to LH leading to ovulation Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)
Secreted by the anterior pituitary; this “Surge” induces ovulation of the dominant follicle. Surge triggered by increasing estrogen from dominant follicle Lutenizing hormone (LH)
Induces androgen synthesis by the follicular theca cells
LH surge needed, around day 14; Midcycle, estrogen induces further release of LH rather than being suppressive Ovulation
Cause proteolysis of dominant follicle now a Graffian follicle with layers of granulosa and theca cells and release of egg Ovulation
Ovulation kits detect LH surge
Steroid hormone, made predominantly by ovarian granulosa cells Estrogen
help by producing androgens Theca cells
convert androgens to estrogen Granulosa cells
Negative feedback to pituitary for FSH secretion. Causes proliferation of the endometrial glands Estrogen
Steroid hormone made by the corpus luteum = hormone factory left in ovary after ovulation Progesterone
Slows endometrial proliferation induces secretion of glands in endometrium in preparation for implantation and early pregnancy maintenance Progesterone
Progesterone level over 4 at day 21 of cycle is indicative that ovulation occurred
Proliferation, straight glands, no glycogen Endometrium- follicular phase
Secrete glycogen, mucous, Glands become tortuous, Length constant at 14 days Endometrium luteal phase
Spiral arteries rupture, functional endometrium is shed, Averages 2-8 days , 25-60 cc Menstrual endometrium
Cervical mucous- Thinner proliferative phase
Cervical mucous- Thicker luteal phase

Treatment early VIN local cauterization (cryo, electro, laser)
Treatment in higher grade VIN wide local excision with or without laser or simple vulvectomy
Fiery red lesions with white hyperkeratotic areas Paget Disease
Higher incidence of underlying carcinoma, esp colon and breast. Age group over 65 Paget Disease

Raised, irritated, pruritic, pigmented lesion Melanoma/Vulva
Only 5% of all vulvar malignancies. Wide local excision. Excisional biopsy mandated with this type of lesion. Melanoma/Vulva
Another reason to avoid an overall tanning booth tan! Melanoma/vulva
4% of all gynecologic malignancies Vulvar cancer
most common Vulvar cancer Epidermoid

Remains localized for long periods of time then spreads lymphatically. Inguinal lymphadenopathy Vulvar cancer
s deep lymphatics in pelvis
Vulvar cancer diagnosis Biopsy positive. Work up CXR, IVP, cysto, procto. Adjunctive postoperative radiation

Presents: abnormal bleeding, pain, mass, dyspareunia Vaginal cancer
Rare. Risk factors HPV: squamous cell. DES: clear cell. Colposcopy, biopsy to excision. Vaginal cancer
Most common gyn cancer Endometrial carcinoma
Presents as abnormal bleeding Endometrial carcinoma
Begins as endometrial hyperplasia, then atypia, then carcinoma. Younger perimenopausal women. History of unopposed estrogen. More favorable prognosis Estrogen-Dependent Endometrial carcinoma
Progestin withdrawal or OCs as treatment. Why “naturally not having a period” is not OK Estrogen-Dependent Endometrial carcinoma
Occurs spontaneously. Thin, older postmenopausal women without unopposed estrogen. Atrophic endometrium. Cancers less well-differentiated. Poorer prognosis Estrogen-independent Endometrial carcinoma
to assess endometrial stripe, doppler flow Transvaginal ultrasound
Greater than 5 mm stripe, mass, fluid warrants biopsy
<5 mm stripe reassuring on Transvaginal ultrasound, but does not exclude non estrogen-dependent carcinoma
Treatment of Endometrial carcinoma Primary surgical treatment is cornerstoneTAH/BSO. Node dissection dependent on invasion depth. Adjunctive postoperative radiation. Medroxyprogesterone for recurrence
2nd most common gynecologic malignancy Ovarian cancer

Most frequently associated with pregnancy. Rapidly outgrow blood supply and die off. Fibroids—red degeneration
Must be differentiated from malignancy. Usually spontaneously regress. Very common. Also called “physiologic ovarian cysts” Functional Ovarian Cysts
Failure of ovulation, follicle continues to grow. May rupture and cause acute pelvic pain. Surgery not indicated. always do pregnancy test. Follicular cysts
May be felt on exam, refer to ultrasound, ultrasound no cyst but “free fluid in cul de sac” due to rupture of cysts,
Missed onset of menses. Corpus luteum fails to involute and continues to enlarge after ovulation. Secretes progesterone. Adnexal enlargement. One-sided pain Persistent corpus luteum cyst

ACS Recommendation: Women at average risk should begin annual mammography at age 40
The USPSTF recommends biennial screening mammography for women aged 50 to 74 years. Grade: B
The USPSTF recommends biennial screening mammography for women aged 50 to 74 years.
The decision to start regular, biennial screening mammography before the age of 50 years should be an individual one and take patient context into account, including the patient's values regarding specific benefits and harms. Grade: C recommendation.
survival benefit is "strongest for women aged 50 to 69
CBE should be part of regular health maintenance, performed at least every three years for women age 20-39 yrs
Asymptomatic women __ should continue to receive CBE, preferable annually. greater than 40 yrs
about every 3 years for women in their 20s and 30s and every year for women 40 and over Clinical breast exam (CBE)
RCT data show combined mammograpghy and CBE= lower breast cancer mortalilty
there is moderate certainty that the harms outweigh the benefits. For the teaching of BSE
On breast exam be alert for Dimpling, Color changes, Retraction, Skin thickening, Pronounced/ recent asymmetry, Spontaneous nipple discharge
The USPSTF recommends against teaching breast self-examination (BSE).Grade: D recommendation
Supernumerary breasts. May be seen as normally shaped female breast. Usually in axilla or directly beneath normal breast. Polymastia
Supernumerary nipples. Often miniature compared to normally placed nipples and located in the milk line. Polythelia
trauma, breaks in skin integrity, insect bites, cosmetic surgery can lead to cellulitis of the breast
may be associated with diabetes, RA, steroid tx, trauma Abscess
Widening of breast ducts. Occurs in women near or past menopause. May have thick, sticky discharge and/or frequent itching around the nipple. Treat with warm compresses and antibiotics. Duct Ectasia

bilateral pain with heaviness/ diffuse tenderness and occurs during luteal phase cyclical breast pain
uni or bilateral, sharp, burning pain, smoking hx, no relation to menses non- cyclical breast pain
unilateral and medical, sharp with deep inspirations and variable occurence chest wall breast pain
is a catch-all term for benign conditions of the breast. Grainy, palpable, small lumps. May fluctuate with menstrual cycle (progesterone changes?) Fibrocystic disease
Most frequent benign breast condition. Ages 30-50 most frequent incidence Fibrocystic disease
most frequent location for Fibrocystic disease UOQ of breast
Mobile, well-defined cystic masses. Bilateral single or multiple masses. Pain/ tenderness last half of cycle. Fibrocystic disease
differentiate cystic mass from solid mass Aspiration and U/S
If find mass on CBE Order a diagnostic mammogram, unless age <30, then order U/S.
The second most common benign breast condition. Fibroadenoma
More common in African American women. Occurs late teens, early adulthood Fibroadenoma
Hormone influenced abnormal growth of fibrous and ductal tissue. May grow rapidly during pregnancy. No significant correlation with breast cancer. Fibroadenoma
Well circumscribed lump. Usually firm, rubbery, round, mobile, non-tender, solitary. Usually UOQ. Generally 1-5 cm in diameter. Fibroadenoma
Fibroadenoma diagnosis FNA (fine needle aspiration). Cytology study of bloody fluid or solid tumor aspirate. U/S to differentiate solid from cystic mass
Fibroadenoma definitive diagnosis excisional biopsy and tissue examination
is a simple procedure that involves passing a thin needle through the skin to sample fluid or tissue from a cyst or solid mass Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) Biopsy
obscure 10% of breast tissue on mammogram Submuscular implants
Cancer cells block lymph vessels in breast skin. Breast becomes red, swollen and warm. No palpable mass present. Usually grows rapidly with metastasis. uncommon. Inflammatory breast cancer
Nipple retraction & Peau d'orange are seen in Inflammatory Breast Cancer
Begins in breast duct and spreads to nipple and areola. Usually occurs with infiltrating ductal breast cancer. Gradual onset, rare Paget’s Disease of the Nipple
Scaly, crusty, eczema-like lesions on nipple area. Tingling, itching or burning in nipple area. Nipple discharge. Lump in nipple area Paget’s Disease of the Nipple
Diagnosis of Paget’s Disease of the Nipple Biospy with tissue exam
Treatment of Paget’s Disease of the Nipple Lumpectomy. Mastectomy
Advocate a threefold approach, with education: Monthly BSE. CBE at recommended intervals. Annual mammography.
Age <30yo, Palpable lump, still there after menses, order unilateral breast ultrasound
Age > 30yo, palpable lump, order unilateral diagnostic mammogram & u/s
If 40 or more, and due for screening mammo., get mammo. on unaffected side at same time
Women at high risk (greater than 20% lifetime risk) should get an MRI and a mammogram every year
Women at moderately increased risk (15% to 20% lifetime risk) should talk with their doctors about the benefits and limitations of adding MRI screening to their yearly mammogram.
Yearly MRI screening is not recommended for women whose lifetime risk of breast cancer is less than 15%.
