Objectives: To study the prevalence of occult stress urinary incontinence (SUI) among Indian women with genitourinary prolapse, and determine the risk of developing SUI after vaginal hysterectomy and pelvic floor repair in Indian women with occult SUI.
Methods: A prospective cohort study of 78 women with significant genitourinary prolapse without symptoms of SUI was conducted at Christian Medical College, Vellore, India. Before the surgical intervention, the prolapse was repositioned using a pessary and a Pyridium (Parke Davis, Morris Plains, NJ, USA) pad test was performed to detect occult SUI. The primary outcome studied was the risk of developing postoperative urinary incontinence.
Results: Preoperatively, 67.9% of women were found to have occult SUI. The prevalence of SUI was 43.6% postoperatively, and 64.2% of the women with a positive result to the preoperative Pyridium pad test after pessary insertion were found to have urinary incontinence postoperatively. Postmenopausal women had twice the risk of developing occult SUI.
Conclusion: Preoperative testing is useful to identify women with genitourinary prolapse who have occult SUI. Women with a positive result may need a systematic clinical evaluation and urodynamic studies to characterize the incontinence. They can be then counseled preoperatively regarding concomitant anti-incontinence procedures.

Background: Asthenozoospermia (ASZ) accounts for about 20-40% of male infertility, and genetic factors, contributing to 30-40% of the causes of ASZ, still need further exploration. Radial spokes (RSs), a T-shaped macromolecular complex, connect the peripheral doublet microtubules (DMTs) to a central pair (CP), forming a CP-RS-DMT structure to regulate the beat frequency and amplitude of sperm flagella. To date, many components of RSs and their functions in human sperm flagella remain unclear.

We report the case of a woman in her early 30 s who was diagnosed with Robert's uterus. She had been experiencing progressive dysmenorrhea for a decade and sought treatment for infertility at our hospital. Preoperative ultrasound imaging resulted in a misdiagnosis of a complete uterine septum with an accompanying ovarian cyst.

Background: To a large extent, the ovarian reserve determines a woman's reproductive potential. The etiological and pathological mechanisms of diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) remain unclear, and no reliable treatment is currently available for DOR. Adipokines and cytokines in follicular fluid (FF) play pivotal roles in follicular development and maturation.

Androgen excess and metabolic abnormality largely contribute to the pathogenesis of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), which primarily precipitates ovarian dysfunction and infertility in reproductive-age women. Impaired mitochondrial function and epigenetic alteration have been linked to the development of PCOS. However, it is unknown whether acetate would exert a therapeutic effect on ovarian mitochondrial dysfunction in PCOS.

Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome is a disorder marked by the congenital absence of the uterus and vagina. Patients with this condition often present with primary amenorrhoea and normal secondary sexual characteristics. The diagnosis of MRKH syndrome has profound implications for a patient's fertility and psychological well-being, necessitating a multidisciplinary approach that includes psychosocial support.
