    What is this pathology - ProProfs

    What is this pathology

    Correct Answer
    benign prostatic hyperplasia
    Explanation
    Benign prostatic hyperplasia refers to the non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland in males. This condition commonly occurs as men age and is characterized by the growth of prostate cells, leading to the compression of the urethra and causing urinary symptoms such as frequent urination, weak urine flow, and difficulty in starting and stopping urination. It is important to note that benign prostatic hyperplasia is different from prostate cancer, as it does not increase the risk of developing cancer. Treatment options for benign prostatic hyperplasia include medication, minimally invasive procedures, and surgery.

    Risk factors for ectopic pregnancy include (check all that apply)

    • PID

    • Previous ectopic pregnany

    • Cigarette smoking

    • Alcohol consumption

    • Endometriosis

    • Previous tubal surgery

    • Infertility treatments

    • Ectopic kidney

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. PID
    A. Previous ectopic pregnany
    A. Cigarette smoking
    A. Endometriosis
    A. Previous tubal surgery
    A. Infertility treatments
    Explanation
    Ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside of the uterus, usually in the fallopian tube. Risk factors for ectopic pregnancy include pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), previous ectopic pregnancy, cigarette smoking, endometriosis, previous tubal surgery, and infertility treatments. PID can cause scarring and damage to the fallopian tubes, increasing the risk of ectopic pregnancy. Previous ectopic pregnancy and previous tubal surgery also increase the likelihood of a future ectopic pregnancy due to potential damage to the fallopian tubes. Cigarette smoking and endometriosis have been associated with an increased risk of ectopic pregnancy, although the exact mechanisms are not fully understood. Infertility treatments, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), can also increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy due to the manipulation of the reproductive system. Ectopic kidney, on the other hand, is not a known risk factor for ectopic pregnancy.

    • May be solid, cystic or mixed

    • May be functional

    • May be nonfunctional

    • Happen when follicles mature, but do not release the egg

    • Can produce sex steroids

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Post-menopause cysts have a higher rate of malignancy
    A. May be solid, cystic or mixed
    A. May be functional
    A. May be nonfunctional
    A. Happen when follicles mature, but do not release the egg
    A. Can produce sex steroids
    Explanation
    Post-menopause cysts have a higher rate of malignancy because hormonal changes during menopause can increase the risk of abnormal cell growth. Ovarian cysts can be solid, cystic, or mixed in nature, meaning they can contain fluid, tissue, or both. They can also be functional or nonfunctional, meaning they may or may not affect the normal functioning of the ovaries. Ovarian cysts can occur when follicles mature but do not release the egg, leading to the formation of a cyst. Additionally, certain types of ovarian cysts can produce sex steroids, which can affect hormone levels in the body.

    • Affect the myometrium

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Mild cases treated with hormones
    A. Can cause scar tissue
    A. Can cause cysts
    Explanation
    Endometriosis is a medical condition in which the tissue that normally lines the inside of the uterus grows outside of it. Mild cases of endometriosis can be treated with hormones, such as birth control pills, to help manage symptoms and reduce the growth of abnormal tissue. Endometriosis can also cause the formation of scar tissue, known as adhesions, which can lead to pain and fertility problems. Additionally, the condition can cause the development of cysts, known as endometriomas, which may also contribute to pain and infertility. Therefore, the correct answers are mild cases treated with hormones, can cause scar tissue, and can cause cysts.
