Elevated serum CA-125 suggesting possible ovarian malignancy
Cyclic dyschezia from rectovaginal septum involvement
Absence of inflammatory markers in peritoneal fluid
Chocolate cysts are pathognomonic
A 45-year-old woman presents with mild fatigue and occasional palpitations for 2 months. She has no heat intolerance, weight loss, or prior thyroid disease. Pelvic discomfort is minimal. Thyroid function tests are normal. Serum CA-125 is 95 U/mL. Pelvic ultrasound shows a 6.5-cm right ovarian mass with predominantly solid components and a few small cystic areas.

Maternal iron deficiency anemia
Prenatal screening for fetal anomalies
A 22-year-old patient with 46,XY androgen insensitivity syndrome is undergoing laparoscopic gonadectomy. The surgeon plans to place three laparoscopic ports: one just above the umbilicus, and two in the lower abdomen. Postoperatively, the patient notices mild numbness over the skin just above the pubic bone. Which port placement is most likely responsible for this sensory change?
Umbilical port
Left lower abdominal port near the anterior superior iliac spine
Right lower abdominal port 2–3 cm above the pubic symphysis, lateral to midline
Suprapubic midline port just above the symphysis
A 30-year-old G3P2 woman at 36 weeks gestation presents with mild right upper quadrant discomfort and nausea. She is anxious because she read about preeclampsia. On examination, BP is 150/95 mmHg. Labs reveal: AST 95 U/L, ALT 90 U/L, platelets 150,000/μL, hemoglobin 11 g/dL. Fetal heart rate is reassuring. What is the most likely diagnosis?
HELLP syndrome
Preeclampsia with mild liver involvement
Acute fatty liver of pregnancy
Viral hepatitis
A primigravida in active labour develops intense uterine contractions after artificial rupture of membranes. Soon after, despite full cervical dilation, oxytocin infusion is stopped and uterine contractions begin to weaken. Which of the following best explains why uterine activity decreases even though circulating oxytocin levels remain elevated?
Oxytocin receptors become saturated and unresponsive due to receptor desensitization
Loss of cervical stretch interrupts the afferent limb of the Ferguson reflex
Stretch of the vagina rather than cervix now inhibits oxytocin secretion
Placental prostaglandins downregulate myometrial responsiveness to oxytocin
A fetus with a 46,XX karyotype develops a mutation at five months of gestation that halts germ cell mitosis but does not affect other ovarian tissue. At birth, her ovaries appear structurally normal but contain very few germ cells. Which future finding is most likely?
Normal puberty with regular ovulatory cycles
Primary amenorrhea due to streak gonads
Premature ovarian insufficiency with early menopause
Normal puberty but rapid decline in fertility after adolescence
A 50-year-old woman presents for routine gynecologic evaluation. Her history includes: ● Menarche at 12, menopause at 49 ● Three full-term pregnancies ● Infertility treated for 1 year with clomiphene in her late 20s ● Endometriosis diagnosed at 30, managed surgically and medically ● Oral contraceptive use for 2 years in her 20s ● Mother diagnosed with ovarian cancer at 60. Which of the following statements best integrates her overall epithelial ovarian cancer risk?
Multiple pregnancies and short-term oral contraceptive use largely neutralize risk from early menarche and endometriosis
Family history alone without BRCA testing or Lynch testing is sufficient to place her at very high ovarian cancer risk
Prior infertility treatment, endometriosis, and early menarche increase lifetime ovulatory cycles, and elevate risk despite high parity
Endometriosis reduces ovarian cancer risk, so she is overall at lower risk despite reproductive history
20 year old woman presents to ED due to severe abdominal pain. She has a past history of regular but extremely painful periods. She is sexually active with a single, long-term partner and states she always uses condoms. Her last menstrual period was 2 weeks ago and was normal for her in terms of duration and volume of blood loss. A transvaginal ultrasound shows 30mLs of free fluid in the pouch of douglas, normal vascularity to the ovaries bilaterally and a 4cm right unilocular ovarian cyst with homogenous ‘ground-glass’ contents. What is the most likely cause of her abdominal pain?
Ovarian torsion
Ruptured endometrioma
Ectopic pregnancy
Hydrosalpinx
Pelvic inflammatory disease
A 38-year-old G₂P₂ woman with a confirmed BRCA1 mutation comes for a “tubal ligation” after completing her family. She has no breast symptoms and normal pelvic imaging. Which management is most appropriate?
Laparoscopic tubal ligation
Bilateral salpingectomy alone
Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy
Salpingectomy with ovarian conservation until menopause
A 30-year-old G₂P₁ woman presents with 7 weeks of amenorrhea, mild right lower abdominal pain, and spotting. She has a history of treated chlamydial infection and prior laparoscopic appendectomy. Vital signs are stable. Transvaginal ultrasound shows no intrauterine gestational sac, a 1.8 cm right adnexal mass with peripheral vascularity, and minimal free fluid. Serum β-hCG is 1,600 mIU/mL. Which of the following statements is incorrect regarding this case?
Interstitial ectopics have higher rupture risk due to surrounding myometrial stretch.
Methotrexate efficacy decreases if β-hCG rises >5% between two measurements 48 hours apart.
Progesterone supplementation improves ectopic implantation outcomes in conservative management.
Prior chlamydial infection increases ectopic risk by impairing tubal motility and local immune defense.
A 32-year-old woman presents with chronic suprapubic discomfort, urinary urgency, and frequency for the past 6 months. Symptoms worsen during her period but are not associated with hematuria. Pelvic exam and ultrasound are normal. Which is the most likely diagnosis?
Bladder endometriosis
Interstitial cystitis
Urachal remnant hemorrhage
Vesical carcinoma
A 32 year old woman presents with secondary amenorrhea and cyclic pelvic pain after a postpartum D and C, consistent with intrauterine adhesions (Asherman’s syndrome). She also has persistent fatigue and low blood pressure since her complicated postpartum hemorrhage. Hormonal profile shows low FSH, LH, and prolactin, with normal estradiol. Which of the following is the most appropriate next step?
Hysteroscopic adhesiolysis with post operative estrogen therapy
Pituitary MRI with endocrine evaluation for Sheehan’s syndrome
Progesterone withdrawal challenge to assess endometrial response
