Role of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Pelvic Organ Prolapse Evaluation.

: The primary method for assessing pelvic floor defects is through physical examination. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a radiological technique that is useful for identifying the underlying defects of pelvic floor structures that require surgery. The primary aim of this study was to find correspondence between the clinical and radiological staging of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) before and after vaginal surgery.

Incidental Diagnosis of Pseudomyxoma Peritonei: A Case Report.

Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a rare clinical condition characterized by disseminating gelatinous ascites within the peritoneal cavity with mucinous implants on peritoneal surfaces. We present the case of a patient incidentally diagnosed after laparoscopy: definitive diagnosis after the histological examination was PMP. A 37-year-old female patient with a medical history of infertility and mild pelvic pain was found to have several collections in the pelvis and an amount of free fluid into the Douglas pouch at ultrasound examination.

Intravaginal 6.5 mg prasterone administration in postmenopausal women with overactive bladder syndrome: A pilot study.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of vaginally prasterone administration on postmenopausal women with genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) affected by overactive bladder syndrome (OAB). A secondary aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of prasterone on VVA and quality of life (QoL).

Study Design: Thirty-two postmenopausal women with GSM and referred OAB symptoms received treatment with daily intravaginal prasterone 6.

Ultralow 0.03 mg vaginal estriol in postmenopausal women who underwent surgical treatment for stress urinary incontinence: effects on quality of life and sexual function.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of low-dose, intravaginal estriol ovules in postmenopausal women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) before and after transobturator tape (TOT) placement, assessing vaginal health, quality of life (QoL), and sexual function.

Methods: Ninety-six postmenopausal women affected by SUI and scheduled for TOT placement were enrolled. Women were randomized and divided into two groups through 1:1 at baseline (T0): study group (group A, n = 48) and control group (group B, n = 48).

Comparative randomized study on the sexual function and quality of life of women on contraceptive vaginal ring containing ethinylestradiol/etonogestrel 3.47/11.00mg or 2.7/11.7mg.

The objective of the study was to evaluate the sexual function and quality of life (QoL) of healthy women on a new contraceptive vaginal ring (CVR) containing ethinylestradiol (EE) 3.47 mg and etonogestrel (ENG) 11.00 mg (study group) manufactured with a new polymer composition compared to EE 2.

Does vaginal estriol make urodynamic changes in women with overactive bladder syndrome and genitourinary syndrome of menopause?

Objectives: OAB is a common finding in postmenopausal women. Hypoestrogenism is the root cause of many signs and symptoms of Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (vaginal dryness, atrophy, dyspareunia, urinary disorders, etc.).

Effects of Urinary Incontinence Subtypes on Women's Sexual Function and Quality of Life.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of different subtypes of urinary incontinence (UI) on sexual function and quality of life (QoL).

Materials And Methods: Ninety-three women with UI were enrolled in the observational study. By the urodynamic findings, 32 women (34.

Effects of ultralow topical estriol dose on vaginal health and quality of life in postmenopausal women who underwent surgical treatment for pelvic organ prolapse.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of low concentrations of vaginal estriol gel in postmenopausal women with pelvic static disorders before and after vaginal surgical treatment, assessing vaginal health, sexual function, and quality of life (QoL).

Methods: Women affected by genital prolapse were enrolled. Vaginal health, QoL, and sexual function were investigated at baseline (T0), before surgery (T1), and 13 weeks after surgery (T2).

Activity of isoflavones and berberine on vasomotor symptoms and lipid profile in menopausal women.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a food supplement combination based on isoflavones and berberine (ISB) in the treatment of menopausal symptoms and dyslipidaemia. Isoflavones are extracted from soy and absorbed in the body after being activated by lactobacillus. Berberine, extracted from the plant Berberis aristata, lowers plasma cholesterol and triglycerides (TG) by increasing low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors and reducing hepatic synthesis of TG.

TOT does not affect the urethral sphincter innervation: a pilot study.

Introduction And Hypothesis: To exclude a neuromuscular denervation damage due to prosthetic mini-invasive surgery using transobturator tape (TOT) by pre and postoperative electromyography (EMG) of the striated urethral sphincter.

Methods: Seventeen women with SUI were enrolled by urogynecologic and urodynamic examination. Each of them underwent EMG of striated urethral sphincter performed by 25-mm concentric needle that was put in as far as 5 mm inside internal urethral sphincter.
