How to prepare for Obstetrics and Gynecology for NEET PG 2022: Simplified

The preparation strategy topic-wise of obstetrics and gynaecology are as follows:

Gynaecology: 

Gynaecology Oncology

One of the most important topics of the subject is gynaecology oncology. This topic must be revised one day before the exam as it can be tough to remember all of these. The essential subtopics include Ca ovary, ca, Ca cervix and Ca Endometrium. All these three topics are consequential because of NEET PG. Students are also advised not to cram the topics but to understand the concepts effectively. 

Students can follow a systematic approach to learning. For example, you can start with the pelvic node, its stages and connect with the Ca Cervix, Ca Ovary and Ca Endometrium. If Inguinal mode is concerned, what are Ca Cervix, Ca Ovary, and ca Endometrium’s. Students are also required to prepare for the prognostic factors and effects of Gynecology cancers. One question invariably can come related to gynaecology cancers. 

Primary Amenorrhea

It is another essential topic in Primary Amenorrhea. Students are required to emphasize the simple approach of Primary Amenorrhea with a patient and delayed puberty. The other essential sub-topic of Primary Amenorrhea includes Turner’s syndrome. You can also learn the difference between Mullerian agenesis, turner’s syndrome, and insensitivity syndrome. 

Case scenarios, treatments, methods are also a must-read. Case studies include how to treat a patient with Primary Amenorrhea, approach a patient if she has Primary Amenorrhea, the different ways to approach the patient, etc. These topics are sufficient to answer the multiple-choice questions related to the topic. 

PCOS 

PCOS is one of the most common problems in girls, and this topic cannot be ignored. It is considered a central part of the subject. You can find one or two short questions on the topic, such as Pathophysiology of PCOS, how you treat it, different methods to treat it, lab findings, etc. 

Other topics 

Other topics to study are Kallman syndromes, intersex, MRKH, CAH, treatment of CAH, lesions, steps for the Laparotomy, Drugs (Endometrial Ablation and Read Mirena), Dermoid, etc. 

Obstetrics

Study the details of CTG and NST, biophysical profile, patterns of CTG during labour, different dynamics of amniotic fluid, a common type of CTG, doppler of the uterine artery, MCA velocity, assessment of the anaemia, ductus venosus ‘M’ wave, etc. 

Other topics 

Other important topics of Obstetrics include Abortions, H mole and Ectopic pregnancy. These topics are vital and must be given prominence too. Students must study all these three topics in detail to grasp the complexities and different approaches to the situation.
