This study compares the clinical efficacy and safety of a thermal uterine balloon system with hysteroscopic endometrial resection in the treatment of dysfunctional uterine bleeding. In all, 147 women were treated by two experienced gynaecological surgeons: one performed 73 thermal balloon ablations and the other 74 endometrial resections between November 1994 and April 1998. The inclusion crite...

Aims: This study aims to determine the effect of myometrial thickness on amount postpartum bleeding and investigate its role as an auxiliary method in predicting hemorrhage.
 Methods: prospective includes 305 pregnant women two groups, vaginal delivery, cesarean section patients. The fundal, mid anterior, lower uterine segment myometrium thicknesses were measured. In period, type delivery ...

UNLABELLED During the third stage of labour there are a lot of causes of significant hemorrhage. The commonest causes of acute hemorrhage are the uterine atony, the retained placenta, the lower tract lacerations, uterine rupture, placenta accreta, hereditary coagulopathy.

BACKGROUND Uterine artery pseudoaneurysms are dangerous and can lead to severe hemorrhage. We report an uncommon cause of a giant pseudoaneurysm in a missed miscarriage in a woman with a cesarean scar pregnancy. CASE PRESENTATION The patient was a 25-year-old Chinese woman with a missed miscarriage in a cesarean scar pregnancy. Curettage was performed under ultrasound monitoring. A uterine ar...

Caesarean scar pregnancy is one of the rarest forms of ectopic pregnancy. Transvaginal ultrasound and color flow Doppler provides a high diagnostic accuracy. A delay in diagnosis and treatment can lead to uterine rupture, major hemorrhage, hysterectomy and serious maternal morbidity and mortality. Early diagnosis can offer treatment options of avoiding uterine rupture and hemorrhage, thus prese...

Spontaneous rupture of uterine vessels, though rare, is a life threatening condition occurring during pregnancy or the peripartum period. The maternal and perinatal mortality may be as high as 40 and 30 % respectively [1]. Though more than 100 cases of rupture of uterine vessels have been reported during pregnancy and puerperium, only five cases have been reported during labor [2]. The case und...

Postpartum hemorrhage due to uterine atony is the primary direct cause of maternal mortality globally. Management strategies in developed countries involve crystalloid fluid replacement, blood transfusions, and surgery. These definitive therapies are often not accessible in developing countries. Long transports from home or primary health care facilities, a dearth of skilled providers, and lack...
