Evaluation of risk factors for necrotic tissue resections in elderly patients with groin hernia.

The hirsutism scoring system should be population specific.

The aim of our study was to evaluate severity of hirsutism, assessed via the Ferriman-Gallwey scoring system in 12 different androgen-sensitive skin areas among 65 consecutive hirsute patients with functional androgen excess (polycystic ovary syndrome and idiopathic hirsutism) from the Central Anatolian region of Turkey. Results of this descriptive study showed that the buttocks/perineum, sideburn, and neck areas greatly contributed to the total hirsutism score, rather than the upper arm, upper back, and upper abdomen.

Associated factors with urogenital score in natural and surgical menopause.

Objective: To anticipate the factors associated with urogenital symptoms in both natural and surgical menopause.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed comprising 267 cases with spontaneous menopause and 87 surgical menopause cases without any use of hormone replacement therapy. Sociodemographic characteristics, reproductive and medical history, urogenital scale and psychological subscale of Greene Climacteric Scale were assessed and correlated with the age of menopause, time past since last menstrual period, parity, body mass index (BMI), mode of delivery among two groups.
