1. What is the most common symptom in all clinical types of abortion EXCEPT:

• A. Lower abdominal pain
• B. Per vaginal bleeding
• C. Show
• D. Backache

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C. 'Show' is not a common symptom in all types of abortion. Lower abdominal pain, per vaginal bleeding, and backache are common symptoms associated with abortion. Lower abdominal pain may result from uterine contractions, per vaginal bleeding is a typical presentation, and backache can be a symptom due to the process of abortion. 'Show' refers to the mucus plug that blocks the cervix during pregnancy and is not a typical symptom of abortion.

2. Which one of the following is not a stage in the ovarian cycle of the menstrual cycle?

• A. Recruitment of Graafian follicle
• B. Selection of dominant follicle
• C. Luteal phase
• D. Formation of corpus luteum

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. The recruitment of the Graafian follicle is indeed a stage in the ovarian cycle. During the ovarian cycle, the primary follicles are recruited to develop further, leading to the formation of the Graafian follicle. The selection of the dominant follicle, luteal phase, and formation of the corpus luteum are other essential stages in the ovarian cycle. Therefore, option A is not correct as it is a crucial phase in the process of ovulation and fertilization.

3. In which part of the fallopian tube is tubal abortion most common?

• A. Ampullary portion
• B. Isthmus
• C. Interstitial portion
• D. Infundibulum

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Tubal abortion is most common when the ovum implants in the interstitial portion of the fallopian tube. This location is the narrowest part of the tube, making it more prone to obstruction or difficulty in the passage of the fertilized ovum. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because tubal abortion is more likely to occur in the interstitial portion rather than the ampullary portion, isthmus, or infundibulum of the fallopian tube.

4. Which of the following investigations is done in Pelvic Inflammatory Disease?

• A. Paracentesis
• B. Culdocentesis
• C. Hysterectomy
• D. Douching

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Culdocentesis is the correct procedure performed to assess the pelvic cavity, often used in the diagnosis of Pelvic Inflammatory Disease. Paracentesis involves the aspiration of fluid from the abdominal cavity, not typically done for PID. Hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus and is not a diagnostic investigation for PID. Douching is a hygiene practice and not a diagnostic procedure for PID.

5. A menstrual disorder with irregular or continuous bleeding from the uterus is known as:

• A. Menorrhagia
• B. Metrorrhagia
• C. Polymenorrhoea
• D. Epimenorrhoea

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Metrorrhagia is the correct term for irregular or continuous bleeding from the uterus. Menorrhagia refers to heavy menstrual bleeding, not necessarily irregular. Polymenorrhoea is characterized by frequent menstrual periods, while Epimenorrhoea is not a recognized medical term related to menstrual disorders.
