Objectives: The safety of cesarean myomectomy has been proven by previous studies. Our study aimed to reveal the long-term perinatal, obstetric, and surgical outcomes of cesarean myomectomy (CM) by comparing different CM techniques.
Material And Methods: This retrospective multicentric case-control study involved 7 hospitals and included 226 singleton pregnancies that underwent repeated cesarean section (CS) between 2015 and 2020.
Ovarian endometriomas have a negative impact on a patient's reproductive potential and are likely to cause a reduction in ovarian reserve. The most commonly employed ovarian reserve parameters are anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and antral follicular count (AFC). Surgical management options of endometrioma include cystectomy, ablative methods, ethanol sclerotherapy and combined techniques.

- The study examines the relationship between maternal biomarkers (PAPP-A, b-hCG, and AFP) during pregnancy and the risk of spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB).
- Higher ratios of AFP to PAPP-A (above 7) and AFP to b-hCG (above 0.6) are linked to significantly increased risks of sPTB.
- These findings suggest that measuring specific biomarker ratios in the first trimester could help identify women at higher risk for preterm birth, potentially aiding in management strategies.
Objective: This study aims to psychometrically validate the Turkish version of the Vulvovaginal Symptom Questionnaire (VSQ).
Methods: Postmenopausal women with and without genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) were included as the target population and the control group. Psychometric properties were validated both for sexually active (21 items) and passive women (16 items).
