A healthy, asymptomatic, nulliparous 36-year-old woman requests your advice because she has been
unsuccessful at achieving pregnancy over the last 13 months, despite regular menses. Performing an
initial physical examination, you detect a firm, non-tender, multinodular uterus whose size corresponds
to that at approximately 8 to 10 weeks of pregnancy, which is consistent with leiomyomata uteri. The
remainder of the medical history and physical examination is within normal limits, as is her husband's

and luteal-phase progesterone measurement. Your next best step is to recommend

normal pelvic ultrasonography

hysterosalpingogram (HSG)

in vitro fertilization - embryo transfer (IVF-ET)

desire childbearing. She has had three laparoscopic procedures in the last 18 months that showed minmal peritoneal adhesions, with no change in the pain. Appropriate management of this includes a:

a staging laparotomy and debulking for her presumed ovarian cancer
c:
a CT scan to get the exact dimensions of the mass

A 42-year-old woman, G2P2, who had a laparoscopic tubal fulguration 7 years ago, has abnormal uterine
bleeding. Her menstrual cycle has been 28-30 days with a menstrual flow of 5-6 days. During the last 6
months, the interval has varied from 14 to 35 days and the menstrual flow has lasted from 1 to 14 days.
The uterus is irregular and firm and consistent in size with an 8-week gestation. Both ovaries are palpably normal in size. Urine pregnancy test is negative. The most appropriate next step in management is
a:
endometrial sampling
b:
laparoscopy
