Torsion of the fallopian tube and acute pelvic pain: an unusual presentation of genital tuberculosis.

A case of a genital tuberculosis found during laparoscopic evaluation for recurrent acute pelvic pain is presented. The symptoms of genital tuberculosis can vary greatly, and a laparoscopic approach is effective for making the diagnosis. Clinicians should consider tuberculosis as a differential diagnosis when encountering clinical presentations of pelvic pain and ascites.

Endometrial polyps and their implication in the pregnancy rates of patients undergoing intrauterine insemination: a prospective, randomized study.

Background: It was our intention to determine whether hysteroscopic polypectomy before intrauterine insemination (IUI) achieved better pregnancy outcomes than no intervention.

Methods: A total of 215 infertile women from the infertility unit of a university tertiary hospital with ultrasonographically diagnosed endometrial polyps (EP) undergoing IUI were randomly allocated to one of two pretreatment groups using an opaque envelope technique with assignment determined by a random number table. Hysteroscopic polypectomy was performed in the study group.
