Overactive bladder symptom score - translation and linguistic validation in Bengali.

Aims: Overactive bladder symptom score (OABSS) in English consists of four questionnaires. We proposed to make Bengali version and linguistic validation.

Settings: Online survey.

Urge suppression and modified fluid consumption in the management of female overactive bladder symptoms.

Background: At the initial management of overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome urge suppression technique along with other behavioural modification could be a good option.

Methods: Prospective experimental study conducted between 2015 and 2019. Women complaining of OAB were enrolled.

International Urogynecology Consultation Chapter 1 Committee 5: relationship of pelvic organ prolapse to associated pelvic floor dysfunction symptoms: lower urinary tract, bowel, sexual dysfunction and abdominopelvic pain.

Introduction And Hypothesis: This article from Chapter 1 of the International Urogynecology Consultation (IUC) on Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) establishes the prevalence of lower urinary tract disorders, bowel symptoms, vulvo-vaginal/lower abdominal/back pain and sexual dysfunction in women with POP.

Methods: An international group of nine urogynecologists/urologists and one medical student performed a search of the literature using pre-specified search terms in Ovid, MEDLINE, Embase and CINAHL from January 2000 to March 2019. Publications were eliminated if not relevant or they did not include clear definitions of POP or the symptoms associated with POP.

Modified vaginal hysterectomy for chronic non-puerperal complete uterine inversion: video presentation.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Chronic non-puerperal complete uterine inversion is a relatively rare condition. Abdominal Haultain's operation is the usual management. We present such a case with fundal fibroids managed by modified vaginal hysterectomy.

Cesarean bladder injury - obstetrician's nightmare.

Urinary bladder is an adjacent viscus susceptible for intraoperative injury during cesarean section (CS). Prolonged labor, scarred uterus, intraabdominal adhesion, emergency CS, advanced labor, cesarean hysterectomy etc., are the predisposing factors for bladder injury during CS.

Single-dose nonavalent HPV vaccine: Need of the hour.

Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccination of the preadolescent (9-14 years) females is the potential solution to eradicate carcinoma cervix. Nonavalent vaccine provides wider coverage than the quadrivalent vaccine. On long-term follow-up, even after single-dose HPV vaccination, the antibody titer remains good.

Extraperitoneal uterosacral ligament suspension by using the cervix as a traction device.

The present video demonstrates extraperitoneal uterosacral ligament suspension (ULS) while performing vaginal hysterectomy for POP-Q stage 3 prolapse. The ULS bites were taken before severing the uterosacral ligament using the cervix as a traction device. Two ULS sutures were applied on each side to the distal half of the intermediate part.

Approach to a woman with urinary incontinence.

Urinary incontinence is a bothersome situation to the ailing woman. Many times, the woman does not come to medicos due to shyness, and if she comes also she does not reveal all the information. Hence, a sympathetic and structured approach will help to provide judicious management to these women.

Modified extraperitoneal uterosacral ligament suspension for prevention of vault prolapse after vaginal hysterectomy.

Introduction And Hypothesis: During vaginal hysterectomy, extraperitoneal uterosacral ligament suspension (ULS) bites can be taken before removing the uterus. We evaluated this modified extraperitoneal ULS for vault prolapse prevention.

Methods: Study period was 3.

Prevalence and age-wise distribution of Human Papillomavirus type 16/18 infections among hospital screened women of a peri-urban area in West Bengal: Impact of socio-demographic factors.

Background: We undertook the current study on cervical Human Papillomavirus (HPV) prevalence along with cytology in women visiting the Gynecology Out-patient Department of a hospital for common gynecological ailments, subsequent to our earlier population-based study on HPV prevalence from India.

Methods: We analyzed data on cervical-cytology (Pap smears) and PCR-based molecular detection of HPV infection along with socio-demographic variables (N = 696).

Results: We identified 36.

B-Lynch Brace Suturing in primary post-partum hemorrhage during cesarean section.

Primary atonic post-partum hemorrhage during lower segment cesarean section, which was not controlled by ecbolics--oxytocin, methylergometrine, 15-methyl-prostaglandinF2alpha--was managed by applying a B-Lynch Brace Suture. The test of potential efficacy was the control of hemorrhage by bimanual uterine compression. Six primigravida patients at their term gestation, who underwent emergency cesarean section, all except one under spinal anesthesia, received this type of suture.
