Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how common intrauterine synechiae (scar tissue) are after women undergo medically-treated postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) and how different treatment methods might influence this condition.
- Conducted at Angers University Hospital, the study involved 83 women who experienced PPH, with diagnostic hysteroscopy performed 12 weeks after delivery to check for synechiae.
- Findings showed that 24% of participants had mild synechiae, with second manual uterine examinations and bimanual massage identified as key risk factors, indicating a need for more research on the long-term effects of these complications.
Article Synopsis
- The updated clinical practice guidelines aim to improve the first-line management of infertility in couples by revisiting existing recommendations based on recent research.
- A systematic review was conducted by expert working groups on five major themes, resulting in 28 PICO-formulated questions addressing both male and female infertility assessments, environmental factors, ovulation induction, and reproductive surgery techniques.
- Key recommendations include tailored fertility evaluations based on the woman's age, specific tests for both partners, and the dismissal of certain outdated procedures, with an emphasis on evidence-based approaches to optimize infertility treatment.
