Q.3 A 28-year-old female G2P1 presents to the clinic at 7 weeks gestation by LMP. She reports using an intrauterinecontraceptive device (IUCD) for contraception. On examination, the IUCD strings are not visualized on the speculum exam. Which of the following is the most appropriate next step in management?
Combined oral contraceptive pills
Pelvic ultrasound
Hysterosalpingogram
Reassurance and observation
Correct Answer: B) Pelvic ultrasound
Explanation:
The next step in management is to determine the location of the pregnancy to rule out ectopic pregnancy and the location of IUCD. This can be best accomplished with a pelvic ultrasound.
Q.4 A 28-year-old woman presents with a complaint of not having had a menstrual period for the past six months. She reports that her menstrual cycles were previously regular, occurring every 28 days. Her medical history is significant for hypothyroidism, for which she takes levothyroxine. A pregnancy test is negative. Which of the following is the most appropriate initial diagnostic test to evaluate this patient's secondary amenorrhea further?
Serum prolactin level
Serum FSH and LH levels
Pelvic ultrasound
Serum estradiol level
Correct Answer: A) Serumprolactin level
Explanation:
The most appropriate initial diagnostic test for evaluating secondary amenorrhea in this patient is serumprolactin level.
Elevated prolactin can inhibit gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion, leading to secondary amenorrhea. Since the patient has a history of hypothyroidism, which can also cause elevated prolactin levels, checking serum prolactin is a crucial first step.
If prolactin levels are normal, further evaluation with FSH, LH, and estradiol can be considered to assess ovarian function and rule out other endocrine causes.
Q. 5 A 14-y/o girl presents with complaints of cyclic lower abdominal pain for the past 6 months. She has not yet had her menarche. Abdominal examination reveals a palpable mass extending up to the umbilicus. The genital examination shows the following findings. What is the most likely diagnosis?
Cause: This congenital condition involves a hymen that completely obstructs the vaginal opening, leading to the accumulation of menstrual blood behind the hymen.
Clinical features:
Cyclic lower abdominal pain
Primary amenorrhea
Suprapubic bulge due to Hematocolopos (blood build up in uterus)
Urinary symptoms- Frequency/Retention/dysuria
Tense Blue bulging membrane at vaginal introitus
Diagnosis: Clinical examination & USG
Treatment: Cruciate incision to release menstrual blood - leads to normal reproductive function
Q.6. A 30-year-old woman with a history of moderate to severe pelvic pain due to endometriosis was prescribed continuous leuprolide three months ago. Despite treatment, she presents again with persistent pelvic pain that interferes with daily activities and quality of life. What is the most appropriate next step in the management?
Increase the dose of GnRH agonist
Expectant management
Laparoscopy
Add progestins
Correct Answer: C) Laparoscopy
Explanation:Laparoscopy is the preferred next step for moderate to severe pain as it allows for direct visualisation and surgical management of endometriosis, including fulguration of lesions, adhesiolysis, and management of endometriomas. This approach aims to provide symptomatic relief.
Q. 7 A 24-year-old sexually active woman presents to the clinic with lower abdominal pain, fever, and unusual vaginal discharge. She is diagnosed with pelvicinflammatory disease. What is the most appropriate initial treatment regimen for this patient?
Azithromycin 1 g PO OD + Metronidazole 500 mg PO BD X 14 days
Ceftriaxone 500 mg I.M OD + Doxycycline 100 mg PO BD X 14 days + Metronidazole 500 mg PO BD X 14 days
Levofloxacin 500 mg PO OD X 14 days, and Metronidazole 500 mg PO BD X 14 days
Amoxicillin-clavulanate 875 mg/125 mg PO BD X 14 days, and Doxycycline 100 mg PO BD X 14 days
Correct Answer: B) Ceftriaxone 500 mg I.M OD + Doxycycline 100 mg PO BD X 14 days + Metronidazole 500 mg PO BD X 14 days
Explanation:
Ceftriaxone, Doxycycline, and Metronidazole cover the spectrum of organisms commonly involved in PID.
Ceftriaxone covers Neisseria gonorrhoeae, an important pathogen associated with PID.
Doxycycline covers Chlamydia trachomatis and other intracellular organisms.
Metronidazole targets anaerobes, often found in the pelvispolymicrobial infections.
Q.8 A 25-year-old female presents with complaints of a sudden, profuse, and offensive vaginal discharge. On examination, her vulva is inflamed and her vaginal walls are red and inflamed with small, punctate, hemorrhagic spots. A wet mountmicroscopy of her vaginaldischarge reveals motile, pear-shaped, flagellated organisms. Which of the following statements is true in this scenario?
Vaginal pH < 4.5
Male sexual partners to be treated at the same time
Absence of pruritus
Treated by Intravaginal clotrimazole
Correct Answer: B) Male sexual partners to be treated at the same time
Explanation:
The presence of motile, pear-shaped flagellatedtrichomonas on wet mountmicroscopy is a characteristic feature of Trichomonas vaginalis. Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted infection, so the patient's sexual partner should also be treated.
Q.9 A 32-year-old woman presents with a 6-month history of secondary amenorrhea and pelvic pain. She reports intermittent fever and significant weight loss over the past few months. On physical examination, there is tenderness in the lower abdomen, and an adnexal mass is palpated. Given these findings, what is the most likely diagnosis?
Correct Answer: C) Genital Tuberculosis Explanation: In this clinical scenario, the patient's history and physical examination findings raise high suspicion of genitaltuberculosis (TB).
Q.10Identify the procedure done to assess infertility, which is given below.
Saline-infusion sonography
Hysterosalpingography
Sonoelastography
Contrast-enhanced sonography
Correct Answer: B) Hysterosalpingography
Explanation:
The above image shows hysterosalpingography with normal uterinefilling and bilateral patent tubes.
Hysterosalpingography (HSG):
Visualising the uterinecavity & fallopian tubes by retrogradeinjection of radiocontrastdye to identify filling defects & blocks.
Preparation
NSAID 30 minutes before to prevent tubal spasm.Paracervical block in patients with cervical stenosis.
4 phases of radiographic images taken
Pre-contrast preliminary.During contrast filling.Contrast spillage into peritoneum.During deflation and withdrawal.
Contraindications

If dilated tubes are identified (indicating previous pelvic infection).As prophylaxis to prevent infections post-HSG.
Complications
Pelvic discomfort.Uterine perforation.Vasovagal reactions.Dye allergy.Intravascular dissemination of the dye.
Q.11 A 32 y/o female presents with irregularvaginalbleeding and post-coital bleeding for the past 3 months. Pelvic examination reveals a 3 cm exophyticlesion on the cervix. Biopsy confirms the diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix. The patient is deeply concerned about preserving her fertility. What is the most appropriate management for this patient?
Radical hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy
Chemoradiation
Radical trachelectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy
Conization
Correct Answer: C) Radical trachelectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy
Explanation:
Radical trachelectomy is a fertility-sparing surgical procedure and, therefore, balances cancer treatment with the patient's desire for future childbearing.
Q.12 Which statement regarding Type 1 and Type 2 Endometrial carcinoma is correct?
Type 1 is more aggressive and has a poor prognosis than Type 2
Type 1 is associated with estrogenexcess in young & obese women
Type 2 is typically low-grade and non-metastasized compared to Type 1
Type 2 is often estrogen-dependent and associated with hyperplasia.
Answer: B) Type 1 is associated with estrogenexcess in young & obese women.
Explanation:
Type 1 Endometrial Carcinoma is associated with estrogen excess, whereas Type 2 is independent of it.
In young women, particularly those with obesity, there is an increased production of estrogen due to adipose tissue converting androgens into estrogen.
Q. 13 A 45-year-old woman presents with abdominal distension and discomfort for the past few months. On examination, there is bilateralpelvictenderness with a palpablepelvic mass. Ultrasound confirms a large cysticlesion 8-10 cm in the right ovary with irregular solid areas. Serum CA-125 levels are elevated. Which of the following epithelial ovarian tumors is most likely to present with the described clinical findings?
Mucinous cystadenocarcinoma
Serous cystadenocarcinoma
Endometrioid carcinoma
Brenner tumor
Answer: B. Serous cystadenocarcinoma
Explanation: Serous cystadenocarcinoma is the most common epithelial ovarian carcinoma, typically presenting with bilateral ovarian involvement, elevated CA-125 levels, and a mix of cystic and solid components on imaging.
Q.14 A 68-year-old woman presents with a 3 cm ulcerated lesion on the left labia majora. Biopsy confirms invasivesquamous cell carcinoma. Physical examination reveals two palpable, mobile lymph nodes in the left groin, each measuring approximately 1 cm in diameter. What is the most likely FIGO stage of her vulvar cancer?
Stage IA
Stage IB
Stage IIIA
Stage IVA
Correct Answer: C) Stage IIIA
Explanation:
The patient in this scenario has a T2 tumor (>2 cm in size) with the involvement of two inguinal lymph nodes (N2a). According to the FIGOstaging for invasive vulvar cancer, this clinical presentation corresponds to Stage IIIA.
Q15. All of the following criteria are used for diagnosing PCOS except?
Hyperandrogenism
Oligomenorrhea
Elevated estrogen levels
Presence of ovarian cysts
Correct Answer: C) Elevated estrogen levels
Explanation:
Elevated estrogen levels can occur in some cases of PCOS due to disturbances in hormone regulation, it is not a primary diagnosticcriterion for PCOS.
Q.16 A 30 Y/o woman presents with difficulty sitting and walking due to the pain. On physical examination, a tender, fluctuant mass is palpated in the right inferiorlabia majora. Which of the following is the most appropriate initial management for this patient's condition?
Oral antibiotics alone
Aspiration of the cyst with a syringe and needle
Immediate referral for surgicalexcision of the gland
Incision and drainage followed by placement of a Word catheter
Correct Answer: D) Incision and drainage placement of a Word catheter
Explanation:
Based on the above scenario, the patient likely suffers from a Bartholin gland cyst.
Bartholin Gland:
Bartholin glands are a part of the vulva.
The ducts of the gland open into the vaginalvestibule and secretemucus that lubricates the vulva.
Bartholin gland cyst:
It occurs due to obstruction of the gland’s duct.
In some cases, the contents of cyst may get infected and lead to abscess formation. The most common organisms involved are anaerobicBacteroides and peptostreptococcus and aerobic E coli, S aureus.
Symptoms:
Most of the cysts are small and remain asymptomatic except for minor discomfort during sexual intercourse.
Larger or infected cysts may cause severe pain during sitting, walking and intercourse.
On Physical examination:
Cysts are unilateral, fluctuant or tense and infected become tender with surrounding erythema.
Treatment:
Small, asymptomatic cysts require no treatment.
Large or symptomatic cysts and abscesses are treated with Incision & drainage followed by placement of a Word catheter or marsupialization.
Q.17 A 28-year-old pregnant woman at 33 weeks gestation presents for a routine prenatal visit. She reports decreased fetal movements over the past two days. She has a history of gestational diabetes, and her pregnancy has been otherwise uneventful. The doctor decides to perform antepartum fetal surveillance. Which of the following is the most appropriate initial test to assess the fetal well-being in this scenario?
Amniotic fluid index
Biophysical profile
Contraction Stress test
Non Stress test
Correct Answer: D) Non Stress test
Explanation:
The NST is a non-invasive, quick, and reliable method to assess fetal heart rate response to fetal movements, which is crucial given the reported decrease in fetal movements.
During an NST, the mother is placed in a comfortable position, and external monitors are attached to her abdomen to record the fetal heart rate and any fetal movements for 20-30 minutes.
A reactiveNST (presence of accelerations in fetal heart rate with movements) indicates good fetal health, while a non-reactive NST (lack of sufficient accelerations) may necessitate further testing or intervention.
