GRADED A+ 2026
Endometrial cycle ANSWER >> The 28 days of the menstrual cycle as they apply to the
events in the uterus. The endometrial cycle has four subphases: menstruation, the
proliferative phase, and the secretory phase, and the ischemic phase .
proliferative phase ANSWER >> The second phase of the uterine (endometrial) cycle,
during which the endometrium (shed off during menstration is rebuilt). This phase of the
cycle is under the control of estrogen, secreted from the follicle developing in the ovary
during this time period. The proliferative phase typically lasts from day 6 to day 14 of the
menstrual cycle.
secretory phase ANSWER >> The third phase of the uterin (endometrial) cycle, during
which the rebuilt endometrium is enhanced with glycogen and lipid stores. The
secretory phase is primarily under the controll of progestone and estrogen (secreted
from the copus luteum during this time period), adn typically lasts from day 15 to day 28
of the menstrual cycle.
,ischemic phase ANSWER >> Approximately 3 days before menstruation to onset of
menstruation. due to the decreased production of estrogen or progesterone and the
endometrium becomes blood starved
menstrual cycle ANSWER >> Cycle during which an egg develops and is released from
an ovary and the uterus is prepared to receive a fertilized egg.
Ovulation ANSWER >> The process of releasing a mature ovum into the fallopian tube
each month
uterine prolapse ANSWER >> the condition in which the uterus slides from its normal
position in the pelvic cavity and sags into the vagina
risk factors for uterine prolapse ANSWER >> menopause, pregnancy, coughing,
constipation, obesity, pelvic floor trauma, vaginal birth, hysterectomy, connective tissue
disorders, spina bifida
uterine prolapse treatment ANSWER >> - kegel exercises
- estrogen therapy
- maintaining a healthy bmi, preventing constipation, treating chronic cough
- pessary
- surgical option s last resort
polycystic ovarian syndrome ANSWER >> defined as two of the following three features
- irregular ovulation
, -elevated adrogens (testosterone)
- and the appearance of polycystic ovaries on ultrasound
differentials for pcos ANSWER >> - thyroid dysfunction
- hyperprolactinemia
- congenital adrenal hyperplasia
Characteristics associated with PCOS ANSWER >> -metabolic dysfunction
- dyslipidemia
- insulin resistance
- obesity
polycystic ovarian syndrome treatment ANSWER >> (1) diagnosis and education;
(2) lifestyle change - loss of 10% of body weight may help;
(3) birth control pills help with some symptoms;
(4) diabetes medications & dietary treatment may slowly normalize physiology (lower
sugar, lower insulin, fewer androgens)
testicular cancer ANSWER >> malignant tumor in one or both testicles commonly
developing from the germ cells that produce sperm; classified in two groups according
to growth potential
