INFECCIONES EN GINECOLOGIA
FLORA VAGINAL NORMAL.
Los microorganismos anaerobios predominan sobre los aerobios 10:1.
Algunos microorganismos producen Ácido láctico y peróxido de hidrogeno que
inhiben a los microorganismos que no son parte de la flora normal. Como
protección de sustancias toxicas la vagina secreta inhibidor de proteasa
leucocitica.
PH VAGINAL:
Entre 4-4.5
El glucógeno contenido en la mucosa vaginal sana proporciona nutrientes para
muchas bacterias en el ecosistema vaginal y es metabolizado en ácido láctico

ENFERMEDAD PÉLVICA INFLAMATORIA
Es una infección de los órganos del aparato reproductor. Se la
llama también salpingitis aguda.
La salpingitis típica esta muy relacionada con infecciones de
Neisseria g. y es secundaria a ellas. Otra especie es T vaginalis. La
vaginosis bacteriana no es un factor de riesgo para desarrollo de
EPI. Es facilitada por la menstruación por la perdida de la barrera
endocervical.
menorragia
dolor abdominal.
diagnostico laparoscópico con hiperemia de la serosa tubárica,
edema en las paredes de las trompas y un exudado purulento
proveniente de las fimbrias.
A la ecografía: trompas ovoides y distendidas llenas de líquido
anecoico o ecogeno, engrosamiento de las paredes tubaricas,
tabiques incompletos, apariencia de rueda dentada., biopsia
endometrial para diagnosticar endometritis.
ABSCESO TUBOOVÁRICO: cuando se infectan las trompas de
Falopio inflamadas y supurativas pueden adherirse a los ovarios.
Si la inflamación avanza se pierden los planos volviéndose
inidentificables, entonces se aplica este término. Casi siempre es
unilateral y afecta estructuras adyacentes. El drenaje mas ATB
pueden considerarse como régimen inicial si el absceso es grande.
ENFERMEDAD PÉLVICA INFLAMATORIA CRÓNICA:
paciente que ha sufrido EPI aguda y padece dolor pélvico crónico.
Un criterio es la presencia de hidrosalpinge, medios histopatológico
(inflamación crónica)
Tratamiento: oral o parenteral según las indicaciones precisas.

LESIONES VULVARES
La piel de la vulva es mas permeable.
Manifestaciones clínicas: dolor, prurito, dispareunia, hemorragia y
secreción.
Consulta inicial: tranquilizar, crear una alianza con la paciente
para la estrategia del tto.
Diagnostico:
Anamnesis
Prurito vulvar.
Exploración física: iluminación adecuada con lupa o colposcopio, tacto vaginal,
bimanual
Biopsia vulvar: bordes, y las áreas hiperpigmentadas en su región de mayor
espesor.
DERMATOSIS VULVARES:
LIQUEN SIMPLE CRONICO: excoriaciones contra un fondo de piel eritematosa.
La piel reacciona con mecanismos como el engrosamiento denominado
liquenificacion. Los cambios suelen ser bilaterales y simétricos y pueden rebasar
los labios mayores.
El tto comprende medidas para interrumpir el ciclo de prurito-rascado.
LIQUEN ESCLEROSO: dermatosis inflamatoria crónica que afecta la piel ano
genital. Postmenopáusicas. El 20-30% tiene otros trastornos inmunitarios. la
mayoría no tiene síntomas y refieren síntomas ano genitales que empeoran por la
noche, creando el circulo vicioso y creando lesiones en la piel. Mayor riesgo de Ca
de vulva.
Dx: pápulas blanco porcelana que deforman los contornos anatómicos normales.
Regresión de labios menores, ocultamiento del clítoris, obstrucción de la uretra y
estenosis del introito.
Tto y vigilancia: no existe opción curativa. Control de síntomas y evitar distorcion
anatómica. Clobetazol al 0.05%. Cirugia.
RECOMENDACIONES PARA EL CUIDADO DE LA VULVA.
No usar geles, productos perfumados, toallitas humectantes ni
jabones.
Utilizar cremas acuosas para limpiar la vulva.

❖ METODOS IRREVERSIBLES.
➢ LIGADURA DE TROMPAS
➢ VASECTOMÍA
CLASIFICACIÓN SEGÚN SU NIVEL DE EFICACIA
Primer tipo: eficacia máxima. DIU(con levonogestrel, T de cobre),
implantes de levonogestrel, esterilización de la mujer y el varón.
Es una cirugía que se realiza con el fin de unir las trompas de Falopio de una mujer, lo
que produce esterilidad permanente ya que se evita el paso del ovulo hacia el útero
y se obstruye el paso de los espermatozoides hacia la trompa y hasta el ovario que
esta ovulando, en el cual se lleva acabo la fertilización.

Single risk factors that are consistently associated with the greatest risk of preeclampsia. The preeclampsia incidence rate
would be approximately 8% or more in a pregnant woman with one or more of these risk factors.
z
A combination of multiple moderate-risk factors may be used by clinicians to identify women at high risk of preeclampsia. These
risk factors are independently associated with moderate risk of preeclampsia, some more consistently than others.

Moderate-risk factors vary in their association with increased risk of preeclampsia.

learn the facts: Predicting Prematurity
• Some tests are fairly accurate in identifying women who are at increased risk of premature delivery, while others have proven
ineffective.
Cervical length. The length of a woman’s cervix is measured using vaginal ultrasound. Women with a shorter-than-
average cervix and those whose cervix shortens on subsequent exams are at increased risk of premature delivery. This
test is fairly accurate in determining which women are at lower risk of premature delivery.
Fetal fibronectin. Fibronectin is a biological glue that helps attach the fetal sac to the uterine lining. It is normally seen
in vaginal secretions up to 22 weeks of pregnancy, then not until one to three weeks before delivery. A swab is used to
take a sample of vaginal secretions between 22 and 34 weeks of pregnancy. If fibronectin is seen, a woman appears to
be at increased risk of premature labor. This test shows moderate success in predicting who will not deliver
prematurely. In some cases, this test may be combined with a measurement of cervical length to increase accuracy.
Salivary estriol. Because levels of this hormone in the saliva appear to increase just before labor, attempts have been
made to measure it. Studies show that this test is not accurate.
Home uterine monitoring. Women at high risk have been monitored for painless contractions in an attempt to
diagnose premature labor early, when it was most treatable. A number of studies have shown that home uterine
monitoring is not effective in preventing premature delivery.

Expulsión:
Es la expulsión de la placenta y los anexos al exterior
ayudados por los pujos y prensa abdominal.
◼ Irritación del cuello del útero por la presencia de la masa que
acaba de caer sobre él, reacciona sobre el cuerpo uterino que
se contrae, se entreabre el cuello y deja pasar la placenta a la
vagina, y la presión que se ejerce entonces sobre el intestino
excita a la mujer a hacer pujos cuyo resultado es ayudar a la
expulsión.
