BACKGROUND: Disorders leading to pathological (most commonly, hyperplastic) processes in the endometrium often occur during perimenopausal period, addition natural changes associated with a physiological decrease function of hormone-producing and hormone-dependent organs.
 AIM: This study aimed investigate clinical morphological features endometrial period.
 MATERIALS AND METHODS: We ...

Aim. To compare the basic endocrine profile and outcomes of in vitro fertilization (IVF) in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), ovulatory polycystic ovaries (PCO), or normal ovaries (NO). Methods. The basic clinical features and in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer outcome in patients receiving IVF or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) were retrospectively analyzed. Results....

A nation-wide cross-sectional study was initiated to assess gynaecological and obstetrical symptoms in an unselected cohort of women with moderate and severe von Willebrand disease (VWD) in the Netherlands. A total of 423 women aged ≥16 years were included. Bleeding severity was measured using the Tosetto Bleeding Score (BS). Menorrhagia, defined as occurrence of ≥2 menorrhagia symptoms, was re...

A 43-year-old woman presented with severe anaemia secondary to menorrhagia. Pelvic ultrasound showed a large intramural posterior fundal fibroid. Hysteroscopy showed the fibroid distorting the endometrial cavity, precluding Mirena® device insertion. As she was initially hesitant to have a hysterectomy, medical management with the oral contraceptive pill (OCP) and tranexamic acid was instituted,...

background dysfunctional uterine bleeding (dub) is the most common gynecologic disorder in women of reproductive age. medical treatments are often ineffective. endometrial ablation is an alternative to hysterectomy for these women. objective to evaluate the response to treatment rate of the cavaterm tm plus technique for management of menorrhagia secondary to dysfunctional uterine bleeding (dub...

OBJECTIVE The prevalence of bleeding disorders, notably von Willebrand disease (vWD), among adult women with objectively documented menorrhagia is consistently reported to be 10% to 20% and is even higher in adolescents presenting with menorrhagia. OPTIONS Diagnostic tools and specific medical and, where appropriate, surgical alternatives to management are reviewed and evidence-based recommen...

The corollary follow up study carried presents variation in electrolyte content of serum during menstrual, follicular, ovulatory and luteal phases of menstrual cycle. Variation in sodium, potassium and chloride were found to be parallel with each other. Their level increase significantly from follicular to ovulatory phase and falls significantly during luteal phase. Bicarbonate levels are highe...

BACKGROUND The significance of polycystic ovarian morphology and its relation to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is unclear, but probably it is associated with higher androgen and insulin levels and lower sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) in absence of identifiable differences in gonadotropin dynamics. The aim of this study was to evaluate ovarian morphology in patients affected by PCOS with...

Objectives: To investigate the clinical effects of transcervical interstitial microwave irradiation of adenomyotic tissues as an alternative to hysterectomy. Methods: Thirty-three patients who were candidates for hysterectomy for the treatment of adenomyosis associated with menorrhagia were treated by interstitial microwave irradiation using a specifically developed transabdominal ultrasound pr...
