This comprehensive review provides an in-depth examination of congenital anomalies of the female genital tract, explicitly focusing on the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) Müllerian Anomalies Classification. The classification system is crucial for standardizing communication and guiding accurate diagnoses in clinical practice. The review explores the diverse clinical presentations, etiological factors, and diagnostic modalities associated with these anomalies.

- * Healthcare workers should maintain a high suspicion for this condition in patients with a history of cesarean delivery, as timely diagnosis and treatment are crucial.
- * The case study discusses a 24-year-old woman who, after nine weeks of missed periods and a previous cesarean, was initially treated with medication before undergoing surgery for the suspected scar ectopic pregnancy.
Article Synopsis
- * A 34-year-old woman with AUB and severe anemia was treated with UAE, which initially seemed successful, allowing her to be discharged after the procedure.
- * Later, she developed DVT in her right leg, but timely medical intervention, including an inferior vena cava filter and thrombolysis, helped prevent serious outcomes like pulmonary embolism or death.
Article Synopsis
- Placenta-mediated pregnancy complications (PMPCs) are harmful conditions affecting mothers and babies, with high levels of maternal serum homocysteine (Hct) linked to these risks.
- A study of 810 low-risk pregnant women found that 27.65% had elevated Hct levels, which significantly correlated with the development of PMPCs like preeclampsia and fetal growth restriction.
- The research suggests that monitoring Hct levels during pregnancy could lead to early interventions to prevent PMPCs, emphasizing the need for larger studies in rural healthcare settings.
Article Synopsis
- * The patient's condition included pleural effusion, which was treated with drainage, and she received Azithromycin as the preferred antibiotic due to her recent childbirth.
- * The successful recovery highlights the importance of thorough fever evaluations in regions where scrub typhus is common, recommending testing even when typical symptoms are not present in postpartum patients.
Birth order has a significant impact on perinatal and long-term outcomes. Preterm birth rates, ranging from 5% to 18%, are regrettably still high in industrialized and developing countries, making them the main contributor to infant mortality and morbidity. Infection, cervical pathology, uterine overdistension, progesterone deficiency, stress on the mother and fetus, allograft reaction, allergic phenomena, and likely more unknown factors are just a few of the causes of preterm birth syndrome.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFUterine fibroids are a prevalent disease that most commonly affects women of reproductive age group and causes symptoms such as abnormal uterine bleeding that can have a detrimental impact on their quality of life. Being in the reproductive age group, fertility-conserving modalities in the form of hormonal therapy, myomectomy, hysterectomy, and uterine artery embolization (UAE) remain the main treatment options. Uterine artery embolization is one of the treatment options for select cases of fibroid uterus.
