Human papilloma virus vaccination and attitudes towards contraception: a cross-sectional study.

Human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccination may result in misconceptions that encourage young women to adopt risky contraceptive practices. The purpose of this article was to investigate whether HPV vaccination status was associated with choice of contraceptive method and adoption of risky sexual behaviour. Vaccinated and non-vaccinated visitors to a university department paediatric and adolescent gynaecology clinic were asked to anonymously fill in a survey comprising questions on sociodemographic characteristics, sexual history, opinions on contraception and attitudes towards contraception.

Since the surgical procedures performed for benign and malignant tumors are quite different, pre-operative differential diagnosis is key. In this case report we compare the levels of biomarkers CA 125 and HE4 in the differential diagnosis of a suspicious ovarian tumor.
