Quality of life following vaginal reconstructive versus obliterative surgery for treating advanced pelvic organ prolapse.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Although colpocleisis is effective in selected women, the low-morbidity obliterative procedure for treating pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and its impact on postoperative quality of life (QOL) have rarely been studied. Our aim was to assess QOL in women after colpocleisis and compare it with that of women after reconstructive vaginal surgery.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study included women (aged 35-85 years) with POP who underwent obliterative or reconstructive surgical correction during 2009-2015.

Effect of Local Estrogen Cream on Vaginal Health after Pessary Use for Prolapsed Pelvic Organ: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Currently, there is no evidence whether local estrogen cream should always be used in conjunction with a pessary as atrophic prevention. There is still no consensus about the long-term safety of local estrogen cream. Therefore, it is recommended to use hormone for the shortest duration as possible.

Effectiveness of pelvic floor muscle training in incontinent women at Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital: a randomized controlled trial.

Objective: To compare the effects ofthree different pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) in stress urinary incontinence (SUI) women.

Material And Method: Sixty-eight eligible SUI women who could perform pelvic floor muscle contraction correctly were randomly allocated to the three diferent PFMT protocols, exercise every day (GJ), exercise three days per week (G2), and exercise plus abdominal training three days per week (G3). The primary outcome was pad test.

Follicular flushing during oocyte retrieval in assisted reproductive techniques.

Background: Ultrasound guided transvaginal aspiration of oocytes has replaced other methods of oocyte retrieval for in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). However, there is controversy over whether flushing yields a larger number of oocytes and a higher potential for pregnancy than aspiration only.

Objectives: To determine whether follicular aspiration and flushing increases live birth or ongoing pregnancy rates and the number of oocytes over aspiration alone in women undergoing IVF and ICSI.

Slow programmable and ultra-rapid freezing of human embryos.

Aim: To compare the outcomes of slow freezing with ultra-rapid freezing (URF) of cleavage-stage human embryos on aluminum foil.

Methods: Two-cell mouse embryos were used to test our method of ultra-rapid freezing. The embryos were randomly allocated to a non-frozen control (208 embryos), and slow (204 embryos) or ultra-rapid freezing groups (204 embryos).

Clinical, endocrine and ultrasonographic features of polycystic ovary syndrome in Thai women.

Aim: To study the prevalence, reproductive hormone profiles and ovarian sonographic appearance of Thai women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Methods: One thousand and ninety-five women were screened for oligomenorrhea/amenorrhea, and the clinical symptoms of hyperandrogenism. Ovarian morphology and volume were assessed by ultrasonography in diagnosed cases.
