Article Synopsis
- - Uterine fibroids are the most common gynecological tumors, affecting 20-50% of women over 30, often leading to menorrhagia (heavy bleeding) and requiring treatment options like open abdominal myomectomy, which carries risks of significant blood loss and transfusions.
- - A study at Barau Dikko Teaching Hospital assessed the effectiveness of intravenous tranexamic acid in reducing blood loss during open abdominal myomectomy, involving 36 patients randomly assigned to receive either tranexamic acid or a placebo alongside a peri-cervical tourniquet.
- - Results indicated that women receiving tranexamic acid experienced less blood loss (mean of 947.65 ml) compared to the placebo group

Introduction: The burden of sickle cell disease (SCD) is high in Sub-Saharan Africa, including Nigeria, and with improved care and survival, reproductive health issues, including menstruation, have become increasingly important and may impact on long-term health and social wellbeing.

Methodology: Using a cross-sectional study design, a semi-structured questionnaire was administered and information collected on bio-demographic data, medical history of SCD, reproductive, and menstrual history.
Background: Prevalence of infertility in sub-Saharan Africa is high yet fertility care, its development and access is limited in resource-poor countries like Nigeria so infertile women resort to different forms of treatment. This study aimed to determine the use and pattern of previous treatments.
Methodology: This was a descriptive Cross Sectional study conducted at a tertiary hospital in North-Western Nigeria.
