  B)
  These lesions usually respond well to oral antiviral medications.
  C)
  Treatment of this problem is usually successful, but if untreated, it can lead to sterility.
  D)
  The bacteria that cause this disease are often latent for several years at a time, and you would be contagious for the entire period.

Answer to Question 1

Ans:
A

Feedback:

Molluscum contagiosum is considered a benign and self-limiting viral illness. Oral antivirals are not a common treatment, and it is not noted to lead to sterility.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
A

Feedback:

Pain control is central to treatment of endometriosis, and surgical treatment is ideally performed laparoscopically, though hysterectomy is sometimes indicated. Bleeding is not a common symptom of endometriosis, and neither corticosteroids nor male androgens are common treatments.
