Ectopic Intramural Isthmic Pregnancy: Case Report.

Intramural pregnancy (IMP) is a rare type of ectopic pregnancy where the embryo implants within the uterine myometrium. This condition carries a high risk of massive hemorrhage, uterine rupture, and potentially life-threatening complications. We present a case of a 35-year-old patient who underwent in vitro fertilization (IVF) and was diagnosed with an IMP located in the back-isthmian portion of the uterus by ultrasound scan.

The Prevalence of Long-Term Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Among Women Who Previously Experienced Postpartum Urinary Retention-A Cross Sectional Study.

: Postpartum urinary retention (PPUR) typically resolves within the first three days following delivery. However, in rare instances, it may persist beyond 72 h and, in some cases, extend for several weeks. The current study aimed to evaluate long-term sequelae in women who endured PPUR following vaginal delivery.

Fertility sparing surgery in patients with advanced borderline ovarian tumors: Oncologic outcomes of a single-institution cohort.

Introduction: The purpose of this single-center retrospective analysis is to evaluate the long-term feasibility and oncologic safety of fertility-sparing surgery (FSS) in patients with advanced borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs).

Methods: Patients with FIGO stage IIA-IIIC BOTs treated with FSS between 1985 and 2021 were evaluated.

Results: A total of 86 patients were included, the majority having serous histology (90.

Case Report: Post-splenectomy bulky pelvic splenosis in an adolescent with hereditary spherocytosis.

Splenectomy is a well-established therapeutic approach for pediatric hematologic disorders, especially in the case of hereditary spherocytosis (HS). In addition to the commonly acknowledged short- and long-term infectious and thrombotic complications, also splenosis represents a rare but noteworthy complication of splenectomy. Splenosis is characterized by the auto-transplantation and growth of splenic tissue in ectopic locations, following trauma or splenectomy.

The Evil Twins of Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis on Interstitial Cystitis/Painful Bladder Syndrome and Endometriosis.

Background: Chronic pelvic pain is a debilitating condition affecting quality of life. Endometriosis is one of the leading causes of CPP, but recent studies highlighted the role of interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/PBS) in causing CPP. Only some studies addressed the coexistence of these two conditions, which seems more frequent than what is supposed, leading to diagnostic delays and unnecessary surgeries.

Association between Physical Activity and Menstrual Cycle Disorders in Young Athletes.

Our study aims to evaluate clinical predictors of menstrual cycle disorders in female athletes who compete in running disciplines. This is a prospective observational study. Women were recruited between January and May 2022.

Superinfection of Rectovaginal Endometriosis: Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Background: A peculiar complication of endometriosis is a superinfection. However, the superinfection of extra-ovarian endometriosis is anecdotal, and only a few cases have been described. We wanted to present the first cases of the superinfection of rectovaginal endometriosis and to perform a literature review of the superinfection of extra-ovarian endometriosis.

Pelvic organ prolapse and vaginal cancer: A systematic literature review.

Background: Primary vaginal cancer is a rare gynecologic malignancy. Few cases describing the concurrence of a vaginal tumor with advanced genital prolapse are reported in the literature and there is no consensus on optimal treatment.

Objectives: To investigate available evidence on presentation, treatment, and outcomes of these concurrent conditions.

Major post-partum hemorrhage rate in a I level hospital: data analysis of substandard care and near-miss cases.

Background: Post-partum hemorrhage continues to be a leading cause of maternal mortality and morbidity. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of major hemorrhage, near-miss cases and substandard care in a I level hospital.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of pregnant women between 2003 and 2018 who had a blood loss ≥1500 mL or who required one or more blood transfusions.

Addressing Vulvovaginal Atrophy (VVA)/Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM) for Healthy Aging in Women.

Vaginal health is an essential component of active and healthy aging in women at midlife and beyond. As a consequence of hormonal deprivation and senescence, the anatomy and function of urogenital tissues are significantly affected and vulvovaginal atrophy (VVA) may occur. In a high proportion of postmenopausal women, progressive and chronic VVA symptoms have a strong impact on sexual function and quality of life.
