The aim of this study was to compare pregnancy outcomes after medical (ulipristal acetate [UPA]), surgical (myomectomy) and radiological (uterine artery embolization [UAE] or thermal ablation) therapy for fibroids in women. A systematic review was conducted and ScienceDirect, PubMed, Web of Science and Cochrane Library databases were thoroughly searched from 2000 to 2018. Only primary research was included with independent extraction of articles by two reviewers, using a standardized form.

- Transvaginal oocyte retrieval is crucial for in-vitro fertilization, and this study compares pain relief methods—specifically conscious sedation alone versus conscious sedation with TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation).
- In this double-blinded randomized trial, women undergoing oocyte retrieval will be split into two groups: one receiving active TENS and the other receiving a placebo, with pain levels measured using a visual analog scale.
- The study seeks to assess not only pain levels but also women's satisfaction and any postoperative side effects, potentially highlighting TENS as an effective, low-cost method for pain relief in assisted conception.

Mullerian cyst of the uterus, also known as endosalpingiosis, is rare and often can be misdiagnosed as adnexal cyst on pelvic sonography.
