The effect of hysterectomy types on vaginal length, vaginal shortening rate and FSFI scores.

Objective: Vaginal length (VL), size and width may show individual differences among women. Hysterectomy causes VL shortening in patients, and this shortening varies according to the type of hysterectomy performed. Some studies in literature have shown that the shortened VL after hysterectomy may cause dyspareunia and have a negative effect on female sexuality.

Does being infected with SARS-CoV-2 in the first-trimester increase the risk of miscarriage?

Aim of this study is to investigate whether the risk of miscarriage increases in pregnant women who had COVID-19 in first trimester. Our study included 52 patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection detected by RT-PCR and 53 patients with negative RT-PCR test in samples taken with nasopharyngeal swab in the first trimester between March 1 and December 31, 2020. Complete abortion, incomplete abortion, blighted ovum, intrauterine exitus, biochemical pregnancies were accepted as in the miscarriage group (MG).

Dynamic thiol/disulphide homeostasis and ischemic modified albumin levels in isolated oligohydramnios.

Objective: Oligohydramnios is defined as amniotic fluid index in ultrasonographic measurement is less than 5 percentile according to gestational age, the amniotic fluid volume is ≤ 5 cm, or if the single deepest dial is < 2 cm. The condition of oligohydramnios that not with fetal structural/chromosomal abnormalities, intrauterine growth retardation, intrauterine infection and maternal disease is described as isolated oligohydramnios (IO). The aim of this study is to examine whether oxidative stress and reactive oxygen species (ROS) have a place in the pathophysiology of IO.

Examination of Treatment Duration, Treatment Success and Obstetric Results According to the Vaginismus Grades.

Introduction: In patients with vaginismus, the treatment becomes more challenging and the treatment may take longer as the grade of vaginismus is higher or worsens. However, the differences regarding treatment duration, success, and treatment methods by grades are not evident in the literature.

Aim: The aim of this study is to answer the question, "Does the number of treatment sessions, dilator requirement, treatment success, pre-& post-treatment FSFI scores and obstetric results of vaginismus patients change depending on the vaginismus-grade?"

Methods: The patients were divided into 4 grades according to the Lamont classification.

Are the body shape index, the body roundness index and waist-to-hip ratio better than BMI to predict recurrent pregnancy loss?

Purpose: Etiology could not be determined in approximately 50% of recurrent pregnancy loss cases, and it was named unexpected recurrent pregnancy loss(URPL). A body shape index(ABSI), body roundness index(BRI), and waist-to-hip ratio(WtHR) are new indexes that are superior to BMI in showing body fat distribution. We aimed to investigate the potency of ABSI, BRI, and WtHR in URPL, their superiority to BMI, and their suitability for clinical use.
