7 What happens if my pap smear is abnormal? Colposcopy Looks at cervix using magnification Highlights abnormal cells Gives more definitive diagnosis What next? Observation without treatment LEEP Cone Biopsy Hysterectomy
8 Cervical Cancer Risk Factors HPV Infection* Smoking Immunosuppression
9 Contracep4on Birth control pills Combined estrogen- progesterone Progesterone- only Taken daily Patch Combined estrogen- progesterone Changed weekly Vaginal ring Combined estrogen- progesterone Changed monthly
10 Long- ac4ng Reversible Contracep4on Injection (Depo- Provera) Progesterone Dose every 3 months Implant (Nexplanon) Progesterone Lasts 3 years Intrauterine devices Progesterone (Mirena) lasts 5 years Copper (ParaGard) lasts 10 years Along with sterilization, most effective contraceptive methods available
11 Impact of Contracep4on on Fer4lity 70-95% became pregnant within 12 months after stopping: Birth control pills Intrauterine devices Condoms Natural Family Planning Progesterone implant: >90% ovulate within 3-4 weeks after removal Prolonged use of combined birth control (>5 years) does not decrease the odds of conception within 12 months Time to conception after stopping progesterone injections is delayed 50% conceive 6-7 months after last shot >90% conceive after 2 years

21 Causes of Abnormal Bleeding Hormone changes Anovulation Fibroids Polyps Pregnancy Infection / Inflammation Blood clotting disorders Medical illnesses Pre- cancer / Cancer Perimenopause ( menopausal transition )
22 Abnormal Uterine Bleeding Birth control pills Progesterone IUD Lysteda/NSAIDS Surgery Myomectomy Treatment Uterine artery embolization Polypectomy Endometrial Ablation Hysterectomy
23 Endometriosis Definition Symptoms Pain Infertility Endometriomas Diagnosis Surgery Treating without definite diagnosis
24 Endometriosis: Treatment NSAIDS Hormonal birth control Other forms of hormone treatment GnRH Agonists Temporary Menopause Surgery *Best treatment depends on future fertility plans and what symptoms are most bothersome
25 Ovarian Cysts Common in women of all ages Vary in size Causes / Types Ovulation ( Functional cysts ) Dermoids PCOS Endometriosis Pregnancy Pelvic Infections Non- cancerous growths Cancer
26 Ovarian Cysts Treatment Watchful waiting Surgery Cyst drainage / removal Removal of entire ovary Prevention Potential causes of pain Rupture Torsion
27 Libido Libido is not essential to a satisfactory sex life Problems are common in both women and men 40% of women in the U.S. have sexual concerns Most common causes of problems: Relationship issues Poor physical or psychological well- being
28 Decreased Libido Risk Factors Childbirth Menopause Medical problems Medications Hysterectomy NOT a risk factor However, removal of ovaries at the time of surgery is
29 Decreased Libido Treatment Managing stress and relationship issues If pain is an issue, seek treatment Pelvic floor physical therapy Work with providers to reduce medication side effects Testosterone Studies have conflicting results No products approved in U.S. Side effects Herbal therapies
30 Hormone Replacement Therapy Perimenopause During this transition, ovarian production of estrogen decreases by over 90% Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) Estrogen and Progesterone Estrogen Replacement Therapy (ERT) Hormones comes in many varieties Vaginal estrogen Bioidentical hormones
31 Risks & Benefits of Hormone Therapy Women s Health Initiative (WHI) 15 years 161,000 women Would HRT reduce the risk of heart attacks after menopause? Well? Combination HRT actually increased the risk of heart attack, blood clots, breast cancer, stroke in older postmenopausal women Estrogen alone no increased risk of heart attack or breast cancer Small increase in risk of stroke and blood clots
32 Let s break this down a lisle Heart attacks Risk of having one related to HRT dependent on age No increased risk in women who: Became menopausal < 10 years before starting HRT OR Were between when they took HRT Breast Cancer Small increased risk with combined HRT, less so with ERT HRT 5-6 years of use before risk goes up ERT 10+ years of use before risk goes up
33 Hormones affect more than that Osteoporosis & Fracture Dementia Depression Sleep problems Just to name a few
34 So what s the bosom line? Who should take HRT? Healthy women who have menopausal symptoms Shortest period of time, lowest dose possible Who should avoid hormones? Current or past history of breast cancer Coronary heart disease Women at higher risk for complications *Absolute risk of complications for healthy, young postmenopausal women taking HRT for 5 years is very low
