Introduction: Current evidence does not support the routine use of rectal enemas (REs) because they have not been associated with reduced rates of puerperal infection, degree of perineal tear, or duration of labor. A recent literature review recognized knowledge gaps regarding the uses of RE during labor including women's perceptions, pain, and satisfaction.
Objectives: To report pregnant women's knowledge, attitudes, perceptions, pain, and satisfaction associated with the use of RE during labor.
Introduction: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder and is one of the most common causes of infertility. The study aimed to investigate the association between endometrial polyp and infertility in PCOS in a high-incidence region such as the Middle East. Also, to identify the most common risk factors for endometrial polyp(s) in PCOS patients with infertility.

From inception until January 2022, five information sources were screened: Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Google Scholar, Scopus, PubMed and Web of Science. Quality assessment was done through the Cochrane Risk of Bias (version 2) assessment tool.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFPurpose: COVID-19 infection is normally followed by several post-COVID effects. This study aimed to investigate to evaluate menstrual changes in females following COVID-19 infection, and to evaluate female perception about the effect of COVID-19 on their menstrual cycles.
Methods: During this cross-sectional survey-based study, a convenience sample of 483 women from Jordan and from Iraq, who had infected with COVID-19 were invited to fill-out the study questionnaire.
Aim: This study aims to evaluate the effect of endometrial polyp resection by office hysteroscopy during fertilisation/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) treatment cycle on pregnancy rate.
Setting And Design: A retrospective observational study (case series).
Materials And Methods: Twenty-five patients from a total of 346 patients that started IVF/ICSI treatment due to different causes of infertility over the period from January 2018 to December 2019 underwent an office hysteroscopy during ovarian stimulation (day 7-8) due to suspected endometrial polyp by transvaginal ultrasound and confirmed at day 7 of ovarian stimulation were retrospectively investigated.
Objective: To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) infusion after adhesiolysis in patients with intrauterine adhesions (IUAs) by establishing the evidence from published randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
Methods: PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), and Google Scholar databases were screened from inception till June 2021. Risk of bias of included studies was evaluated according to the Cochrane's Collaboration tool.
Purpose Of Review: The purpose of this review is to investigate the use and efficacy of fertility tracking applications as a natural contraceptive method since there has been a worldwide increase in the development and use of applications that monitor the menstrual cycle and fertility window. An anonymous online survey had been conducted in order to achieve this goal, and a total of 375 married women from Jordan responded to our survey.
Recent Findings: Topics discussed include fertility awareness-based methods (FAM) of contraception in which mobile applications fall into, and their efficacy and failure rates, comparing them with other methods of contraception while taking into account the typical and perfect use of each method.
Research Question: What is the association between hydrosalpinx and pregnancy loss and the effects of treatment for hydrosalpinx?
Design: A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the risk of pregnancy loss, and the benefit of treatment in women with hydrosalpinx. Searches were conducted on MEDLINE, Embase, the Cochrane Library and Web of Science.
Results: A meta-analysis of 14 observational studies showed a 74% relative increase in the risk of pregnancy loss in women with hydrosalpinx compared with women without hydrosalpinx (relative risk [RR] = 1.
