Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of hysteroscopic myomectomy in the treatment of symptomatic submucous leiomyomas and long-term outcomes.
Study Design: A total of 107 patients with abnormal uterine bleeding (n = 84) and/or infertility (n = 23) were submitted to hysteroscopic resection.
Main Outcome Measures: control of menorrhagia and reproductive outcome.
Results: Abnormal uterine bleeding was controlled in 68 out of 84 patients with one procedure; 15 needed a second procedure for incomplete resection. Five patients had menorrhagic pathology relapse. Among 23 patients with associated infertility pregnancy was achieved in eight cases, seven went to term and one miscarried; one patient needed a second procedure. The mean follow-up was 36 months (24-60). Three patients were lost at follow-up.
Conclusions: Transcervical hysteroscopic resection of submucous myomas is effective for control of abnormal uterine bleeding. Further studies are needed to define the value of such procedure in the treatment of infertility. Short and long-term results are strictly correlated to the possibility of obtaining a complete resection, which is conditioned by degree (0, 1, 2) and number of myomas.

Objective: Previous studies found younger age was associated with an increased risk of hysterectomy after hysteroscopic surgeries (HS) due to abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of age on the incidence of hysterectomy after HS for treating AUB in Taiwan.
Methods: This was a nationwide population-based retrospective cohort study which utilized the Taiwan National Health Insurance Database.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of cervical length on procedure time and VAS pain scores during office hysteroscopy. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 50 patients who underwent office hysteroscopy for various indications such as abnormal uterine bleeding and infertility. Exclusion criteria included active vaginal infection, previous cervical surgery, and chronic pelvic pain.

Background: Cervical cancer disparities persist among minoritized women due to infrequent screening and poor follow-up. Structural and psychosocial barriers to following up with colposcopy are problematic for minoritized women. Evidence-based interventions using patient navigation and tailored telephone counseling, including the Tailored Communication for Cervical Cancer Risk (TC3), have modestly improved colposcopy attendance.

Background: Alterations in lipid metabolism were reported to impact human fertility; however, there is limited evidence on the association of lipid metabolism with embryo implantation as well as the etiology of recurrent implantation failure (RIF), especially regarding arachidonic acid metabolism.
Methods: Experimental verification research (16 RIF patients and 30 control patients) based on GEO database analysis (24 RIF patients and 24 control patients). The methods in bioinformatics included differential gene screening, functional enrichment analysis, protein-protein interaction network, cluster analysis, weighted gene co-expression network analysis, and so forth.
