MULTIPLE CHOICE ANSWERS

1. Most common benign ovarian neoplasm in women of reproductive age, derived from all three embryonic germ layers? Answer: Mature cystic teratoma (Dermoid cyst) Mature cystic teratoma is the most common benign ovarian neoplasm in reproductive-age women. It contains tissues derived from all three germ layers (ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm).
2. Type of dysmenorrhea characterized by painful menstruation with no identifiable pelvic pathology, typically beginning shortly after menarche? Answer: Primary dysmenorrhea Primary dysmenorrhea occurs without underlying pelvic disease, caused by excess prostaglandin production leading to uterine cramping. It typically begins 6-12 months after menarche.
3. What is true about the pathophysiology of LATE acute Asthma? Answer: a. These changes cause bronchial hyperresponsiveness and obstruction. Airway obstruction is mainly due to inflammatory cell infiltration, mucosal edema, and mucus hypersecretion. Late-phase asthma (4-8 hours after trigger) is driven by eosinophilic inflammation, mucosal edema, and mucus plugging - NOT bronchoconstriction alone (which dominates early phase). It leads to persistent bronchial hyperresponsiveness.
4. During bimanual pelvic exam, a fixed, retroverted uterus typically suggests? Answer: b. Pelvic pathology (endometriosis, pelvic adhesions, or pelvic inflammatory disease) A fixed, retroverted uterus is NOT a normal variant - it suggests adhesions from endometriosis, PID, or prior surgery. A freely mobile retroverted uterus can be a normal variant (~20% of women).
5. Most widely accepted theory explaining the pathogenesis of endometriosis? Answer: b. Retrograde menstruation (Sampson's theory) Sampson's retrograde menstruation theory is the most widely accepted. Endometrial tissue flows retrograde through the fallopian tubes into the peritoneal cavity during menstruation and implants.
6. Anatomical structure directly visualized at the upper apex of the vagina on routine speculum examination? Answer: The cervix (uterine cervix) The cervix is the structure seen at the top/apex of the vagina on speculum exam. The urinary structures (bladder, urethra) are not directly visualized.
7. Risk factor for COPD is: Answer: b. Persistent non-atopic wheezer Persistent non-atopic wheezers (associated with early-life respiratory infections, especially RSV) are at risk for COPD later in life. Atopic wheeze (allergic) is a risk factor for asthma, not COPD.
8. Gastrointestinal disorder that is a common non-gynecological mimic of chronic pelvic pain, with altered bowel habits and abdominal bloating? Answer: Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) IBS is the most common GI mimic of chronic pelvic pain. It presents with altered bowel habits, abdominal bloating, and pain relieved by defecation - frequently confused with gynecological causes.
9. Classic appearance of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) lesions inside the pelvic peritoneum on diagnostic laparoscopy? Answer: Powder-burn (black/dark bluish-black lesions) or white/red lesions DIE lesions appear as dark "powder-burn" or "gunshot" lesions (black-brown pigmented deposits), though early lesions can be red/vesicular. These are scarred, fibrotic nodules invading >5mm into peritoneum.
10. Mild Intermittent Asthma is when: Answer: c. PEF or FEV1 variability <20%, AND FEV1 or PEF ≥80% predicted GINA/NAEPP criteria for mild intermittent asthma: symptoms ≤2 days/week, nighttime symptoms ≤2x/month, FEV1 or PEF ≥80% predicted, PEF variability <20%.
11. Under FIGO PALM-COEIN classification for AUB, which represents a STRUCTURAL etiology? Answer: b. Ovulatory dysfunction (AUB-O) - INCORRECT; The structural ones are PALM Structural etiologies = Polyp, Adenomyosis, Leiomyoma, Malignancy/hyperplasia. Coagulopathy (C), Ovulatory dysfunction (O), Endometrial (E), Iatrogenic (I), Not yet classified (N) are non-structural (COEIN). Answer: Leiomyoma (AUB-L) - the only structural option among those listed.
12. Predominant feature of clinical history in Asthma? Answer: a. Episodic shortness of breath, particularly at night, often accompanied by wheezing and cough The hallmark of asthma history is recurrent/episodic wheeze, breathlessness, chest tightness, and cough - characteristically worse at night or early morning.
13. How is chronic pelvic pain (CPP) structurally defined in clinical gynecology? Answer: a. Non-cyclic pain of at least 6 months' duration, localized to the pelvis, anterior abdominal wall below the umbilicus, lower back, or buttocks, severe enough to cause functional disability or require medical care CPP is defined as pain lasting ≥6 months (not just during menstrual flow). The option "severe pain during menstrual flow lasting more than 3 consecutive cycles" describes dysmenorrhea, not CPP.
14. Primary support structure of the uterus and upper vagina whose attenuation leads to APICAL pelvic organ prolapse? Answer: a. Uterosacral-cardinal ligament complex (parametrium) The cardinal and uterosacral ligaments (Level I support, DeLancey's levels) are the primary apical supports. "Arcuate" ligament is a hip ligament - the correct answer is the cardinal/uterosacral ligament complex.
15. Minimum clinical criteria to initiate empiric antibiotic treatment for PID in a sexually active young woman? Answer: Uterine/adnexal tenderness OR cervical motion tenderness (on bimanual exam) CDC 2021 guidelines: empiric treatment for PID should be initiated in any sexually active young female with uterine tenderness, adnexal tenderness, or cervical motion tenderness with no other cause identified.
16. Moderate persistent asthma is when: Answer: b. FEV1 or PEF 60-80% predicted, with daily symptoms and nighttime symptoms >1x/week Moderate persistent: daily symptoms, nighttime symptoms >1x/week, FEV1 or PEF 60-80% predicted, PEF variability >30%.
17. A 42-year-old female with heavy menstrual bleeding and severe anemia - which type of fibroid is most strongly linked to this? Answer: Submucosal fibroid (AUB-L SM) Submucosal fibroids distort the endometrial cavity and cause the heaviest bleeding. They are most strongly associated with menorrhagia and resultant anemia.
18. What is true about pathophysiology of EARLY acute Asthma? Answer: a. These changes cause bronchial hyperresponsiveness and obstruction. Airway obstruction is mainly due to bronchospasm (smooth muscle contraction) Early-phase asthma (immediate, within 15-30 min of allergen exposure) is mediated by IgE-mast cell degranulation releasing histamine, leukotrienes, prostaglandins causing bronchospasm. This distinguishes it from late-phase (inflammatory cell infiltration).
19. Post-operative pelvic adhesions causing chronic pelvic pain - which surgery carries the HIGHEST risk? Answer: Appendectomy (especially for perforated appendicitis) / colorectal surgery Among gynecological surgeries, prior pelvic/abdominal surgery for bowel disease (e.g., appendectomy for perforation, bowel resection) carries high adhesion risk. Among gynecologic: myomectomy and surgeries for endometriosis have high adhesion rates.
20. Sudden, sharp, unilateral mid-cycle pelvic pain on day 14, resolves spontaneously within hours? Answer: Mittelschmerz (mid-cycle pain / ovulation pain) Mittelschmerz is mid-cycle pain at ovulation (day 14), caused by follicular rupture and peritoneal irritation from follicular fluid. It is unilateral, sharp, and self-limiting within hours.
21. Hoover sign in a wheezing child is NOT: Answer: b. Normal diaphragm movement Hoover sign = paradoxical inward movement of the lower costal margins during inspiration, due to a flattened diaphragm pulling the ribs inward. It indicates severe hyperinflation. Normal diaphragm movement is NOT a feature.
22. Connective Tissue Diseases - which is NOT one? Answer: a. Systemic lupus erythematosus - this IS a CTD NOT a connective tissue disease: Periodic Fever Syndromes and Chronic Recurrent Multifocal Osteomyelitis (CRMO). Among the options, the answer depends on what's listed - Juvenile Dermatomyositis IS a CTD, SLE IS a CTD, Mixed connective tissue disease IS a CTD. Most likely answer: whichever option represents an autoinflammatory (not autoimmune connective tissue) disorder.
23. Renal clinical manifestation of pyelonephritis? Answer: b. Slight hematuria Renal manifestations of pyelonephritis include hematuria (microscopic/slight), proteinuria, and pyuria. Pain syndrome (flank pain) and syndrome of intoxication (fever, chills) are systemic/local manifestations, not specifically "renal." Dysuria is a lower urinary tract symptom.
24. Ovarian cyst filled with thick, chocolate-colored old blood - precise medical term? Answer: Endometrioma (chocolate cyst) An endometrioma is an ovarian cyst lined by endometrial tissue filled with old, dark "chocolate" blood (hemosiderin-laden old blood). It is a classic manifestation of ovarian endometriosis.
25. Condition characterized by ectopic endometrial glands and stroma WITHIN the myometrium, with globally enlarged uterus? Answer: Adenomyosis Adenomyosis = endometrial glands and stroma within the myometrium. Presents with a symmetrically enlarged, globular ("boggy") uterus, dysmenorrhea, and menorrhagia.
26. Metabolic derangement central to the pathogenesis of PCOS and a major therapeutic target? Answer: b. Insulin resistance (hyperinsulinemia) Insulin resistance is the central metabolic abnormality in PCOS. Hyperinsulinemia stimulates ovarian androgen production (theca cells), suppresses SHBG, and contributes to anovulation. Metformin targets this mechanism.
27. What is NOT true about differential diagnosis of UTI in infants? Answer: b. Renal Calculi Renal calculi are rare in infants and not a typical differential for UTI in this age group. Meningitis and bacteremia ARE important differentials (sepsis work-up in febrile infants includes UTI/meningitis/bacteremia).
28. According to Rotterdam criteria, how many of the three diagnostic criteria must be met for PCOS diagnosis? Answer: 2 out of 3 Rotterdam 2003 criteria require 2 of 3: (1) oligo/anovulation, (2) clinical/biochemical hyperandrogenism, (3) polycystic ovaries on ultrasound. Other causes must be excluded.
29. "Autoimmune" Rheumatologic Disease is: Answer: c. Connective Tissue Disease (e.g., SLE, RA, Sjogren's) Autoimmune rheumatologic diseases include CTDs (SLE, RA, myositis, Sjogren's). CRMO/CNO and Periodic Fever Syndromes are autoinflammatory (innate immunity), not autoimmune (adaptive immunity).
30. Commonest form of wheeze is: Answer: a. Transient wheezer Transient early wheezers (wheezing in first 3 years that resolves by age 6) are the most common phenotype, making up ~60% of all childhood wheezers.
31. Embryological structure giving rise to fallopian tubes, uterus, and upper vagina? Answer: b. Paramesonephric (Mullerian) ducts The Mullerian (paramesonephric) ducts develop into the fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, and upper 2/3 of the vagina. The Wolffian (mesonephric) ducts become male reproductive structures.
32. Primary non-surgical mechanical device to manage symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse in poor surgical candidates? Answer: Pessary (ring pessary or shelf pessary) A vaginal pessary is the primary mechanical/conservative device for pelvic organ prolapse management. It provides mechanical support to reduce prolapse symptoms in women who are poor surgical candidates.
33. What is NOT right about the definition of acute glomerulonephritis? Answer: The statement that it is inflammation of the glomeruli ONLY (it also affects tubules and interstitium) - OR whichever option incorrectly defines AGN Acute GN = inflammatory injury to the glomeruli causing hematuria, proteinuria, hypertension, and impaired renal function. A definition that says it causes ONLY nephritic OR nephrotic features without the full picture would be incorrect.
34. Endocrine finding classically observed on serum hormone panel of untreated PCOS? Answer: b. Elevated LH with normal/low FSH (elevated LH:FSH ratio >2:1), with elevated androgens Untreated PCOS: elevated LH, normal/low FSH, elevated LH:FSH ratio (>2:1), elevated androgens (testosterone, androstenedione), low/normal SHBG. Option "Low LH and high FSH" would be wrong.
35. Chronic PID leading to a blocked, distended fallopian tube filled with CLEAR fluid - what is this structural complication? Answer: Hydrosalpinx Hydrosalpinx = fallopian tube blocked at the fimbriated end, distended with serous/clear fluid. It results from chronic salpingitis (PID). Distinguished from pyosalpinx (pus) and hematosalpinx (blood).
36. Incubation period of Rotavirus is: Answer: b. <24 hours (actually 1-3 days / 24-72 hours) The incubation period of rotavirus gastroenteritis is typically 1-3 days (24-72 hours). The most accurate answer among the options is b. <24hrs if options are <48hrs, <72hrs, <24hrs - the standard answer is 1-3 days, so a. <48 hrs is correct.
37. What is RIGHT about definition of CHRONIC glomerulonephritis? Answer: a. The condition is characterized by irreversible and progressive glomerular and tubular damage, leading to chronic renal insufficiency Chronic GN = slowly progressive, irreversible glomerular injury over months-years leading to ESRD. It represents the end-stage of various glomerular diseases.
38. What is true about SECRETORY diarrhea? Answer: b. Interferes with reabsorption of Na+ and water (active secretion of Cl- and inhibition of Na+ absorption) Secretory diarrhea: the gut actively secretes electrolytes and water into the lumen (e.g., cholera toxin activating adenylyl cyclase). It persists even with fasting. Option (a) describes OSMOTIC diarrhea (poorly absorbed solutes).
39. What is NOT a risk factor for acute bronchiolitis? Answer: c. Preponderance of Females Bronchiolitis (typically RSV) affects males more than females (male preponderance). Risk factors include: artificial feeding (no breastfeeding), age <6 months (peak 2-6 months), passive tobacco smoke exposure, daycare attendance. Female sex is NOT a risk factor.
40. Adventitious airway sounds in children with wheezing - which is NOT one? Answer: a. Snoring Snoring is a stertor (upper airway sound from nasopharynx/oropharynx vibration), not a classic adventitious chest sound. True adventitious airway sounds include: wheeze, stridor, rhonchi, and crepitations (crackles).
41. Etiological factor LESS common in hospital patients with pyelonephritis? Answer: c. Candida E. coli causes ~80% of community-acquired pyelonephritis. In hospitalized patients, gram-negative organisms (Klebsiella, Proteus, Pseudomonas) and gram-positive organisms increase in frequency. Candida pyelonephritis, while seen in immunocompromised/hospitalized patients, is still LESS common overall compared to gram-negatives.
42. Benign ovarian tumor associated with Meigs syndrome (tumor + ascites + pleural effusion)? Answer: a. Serous cystadenofibroma / Fibroma (ovarian fibroma) Ovarian fibroma is classically associated with Meigs syndrome. It is a benign solid ovarian tumor of stromal origin. Meigs syndrome = ovarian fibroma + ascites + right-sided pleural effusion, resolving after tumor removal.
43. Pelvic organ prolapse involving herniation of the anterior vaginal wall and urinary bladder into the vaginal lumen is called? Answer: Cystocele (anterior wall prolapse) A cystocele = anterior compartment defect where the bladder herniates into the vaginal canal through the anterior vaginal wall. Also called anterior vaginal wall prolapse.
44. Classification of pyelonephritis according to COURSE is: Answer: a. Primary (uncomplicated) and b. Chronic Classification by course: Acute and Chronic. Classification by origin: primary (ascending) vs secondary (hematogenous/obstructive). The answer should be: Acute and Chronic pyelonephritis.
45. What is true about SECRETORY diarrhea? (repeated question) Answer: b. Interferes with reabsorption - active electrolyte secretion Same as Q38. Secretory diarrhea involves active Na+/Cl- secretion, persists with fasting, large volumes, no osmotic gap. Osmotic diarrhea (option a) stops with fasting.
46. Renal cause of secondary nephritic syndrome is: Answer: Glomerulonephritis (IgA nephropathy, MPGN, etc.) Among the options, renal causes of nephritic syndrome include primary glomerulonephritides. Infection, drugs, neoplasia, systemic diseases are extra-renal/secondary causes. The purely renal (primary) cause would be a primary GN.
47. Contraction of gallbladder in hypotonic dyskinesia by USG is: Answer: b. Less than 1/2 of the previous volume Normal gallbladder ejection fraction (after fatty meal/CCK) = >40% (contracts to less than 60% of original, i.e., ejects >40%). In hypotonic dyskinesia, contraction is reduced - less than 1/2 reduction would indicate poor ejection (<40% EF). Standard: contraction to >2/3 of original = poor function (ejected <1/3).
48. Renal clinical manifestation of pyelonephritis? (repeated question) Answer: a. Syndrome of intoxication (fever, chills, malaise) Pyelonephritis manifests with: fever/chills (intoxication syndrome), flank pain/CVA tenderness (pain syndrome), and lower urinary symptoms (dysuria, frequency). Decreasing total diuresis (oliguria) can occur in severe cases.
49. Congenital uterine anomaly resulting from COMPLETE failure of fusion of the two Mullerian ducts? Answer: Uterus didelphys (complete duplication - two separate uteri, cervices) Complete failure of Mullerian duct fusion = uterus didelphys (two completely separate uteri, cervices, and often vaginas). Uterus bicornis = partial fusion failure. Uterus septatus = fusion occurred but resorption of septum failed.
50. 65-year-old woman, ovarian tumor with dense fibrous stroma mixed with nests of transitional epithelium resembling Walthard cell rests? Answer: Brenner tumor Brenner tumor = benign ovarian tumor with dense fibrous stroma and nests of transitional-type (urothelial) epithelium resembling Walthard cell nests. Most are benign; occur in older women.
51. Classification of pyelonephritis according to PERIOD is: Answer: b. Acute and c. Chronic (with subphases) Classification by period: Acute pyelonephritis; Chronic pyelonephritis (with stages: active, latent, remission, exacerbation). The full classification includes: Period of full clinical and laboratory manifestation → partial remission → complete remission.
52. Classification of pyelonephritis according to period - includes: Answer: b. Acute, c. Chronic, with Period of partial remission (d) Same concept as Q51 - periods of pyelonephritis include acute phase, phases of remission (partial, complete), and chronic renal insufficiency.
53. A 26-year-old female with acute lower abdominal pain, vaginal spotting, and positive home pregnancy test. Her last menstrual period was [missed] - likely diagnosis? Answer: Ectopic pregnancy (until proven otherwise) Young woman + positive pregnancy test + pelvic/lower abdominal pain + vaginal spotting = ectopic pregnancy until ruled out. Requires urgent TVUS and serum beta-hCG.
54. Type of benign degeneration that occurs most frequently in uterine fibroids during pregnancy due to rapid growth outpacing blood supply? Answer: Red (carneous) degeneration Red (carneous) degeneration is the most common type of fibroid degeneration in pregnancy, caused by venous thrombosis and infarction. Presents with acute pain, fever, and uterine tenderness in pregnancy.
55. Triggering factor of Asthma is: Answer: b. Atopy Atopy (genetic predisposition to IgE-mediated sensitization) is the single strongest risk/triggering factor for allergic asthma. While genetic predisposition exists, atopy specifically is the key trigger factor. Strong emotional expressions can trigger asthma but are non-atopic triggers.
56. Membranous nephropathy is the type of: Answer: b. Secondary nephrotic syndrome Actually: Membranous nephropathy is a cause of primary (idiopathic) nephrotic syndrome - the most common cause in adults. It can also be secondary (to cancer, HBV, drugs, SLE). The answer depends on the exact options - idiopathic membranous = primary nephrotic syndrome.
57. Most common anatomical site for an ectopic pregnancy implantation? Answer: a. Ovarian surface? No - Ampulla of the fallopian tube The ampulla of the fallopian tube is the most common site (~70%) for ectopic pregnancy implantation. Order: ampulla > isthmus > fimbria > interstitial > ovary > cervix > abdominal.
58. "Autoimmune" Rheumatologic Disease is: (repeated) Answer: c. Connective Tissue Disease Same as Q29. Autoimmune = CTDs. CRMO and periodic fever syndromes = autoinflammatory diseases.
59. Mild Persistent Asthma is when: Answer: FEV1 or PEF ≥80% predicted, with PEF or FEV1 variability 20-30%, symptoms >2 days/week but not daily Mild persistent asthma: symptoms >2 days/week but <daily, nighttime symptoms 3-4x/month, FEV1 ≥80% predicted, PEF variability 20-30%.
60. Which examination position is standard for performing routine gynecological evaluations and Pap smears? Answer: b. Dorsal lithotomy position The dorsal lithotomy position (supine with hips flexed and abducted, feet in stirrups) is the standard position for gynecological examination, Pap smear, and pelvic procedures. Trendelenburg is used for laparoscopy/surgery.
