Introduction: Postpartum ovarian vein thrombosis is an uncommon complication; incidence varies between 0.002% and 0.05%. It most often occurs during the 2-15 days following delivery.
Case Presentation: A 22-year-old pregnant woman at term presented to hospital with uterine contractions, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. After delivery an ovarian vein thrombosis was diagnosed.
Conclusion: Low-molecular weight heparin with broad-spectrum antibiotics are the accepted therapy in non-complicated cases of postpartum ovarian vein thrombosis.

Does Pelvic Congestion Cause Bladder Symptoms-Potential New Indication to Treat Pelvic Congestion.

Sydney Fibroid Clinic, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
Background: Pelvic Congestion Syndrome (PCS) is a condition characterised by chronic pelvic pain resulting from the dilation and reflux of veins within the pelvis. While pelvic pain is the primary symptom of PCS, other associated symptoms may vary among individuals. Bladder symptoms have been commonly observed in PCS, including increased urination frequency, urinary urgency, nocturia and rarely haematuria.

Objective: For patients with contraindications to hormone therapy, the absence of effective treatments for ovarian dysfunction post chemotherapy represents a critical issue requiring resolution. Local administration of mitochondria may enhance ovarian function in premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) by ameliorating diminished mitochondrial activity. Nevertheless, there is a paucity of literature on the efficacy of mitochondrial transplantation through intravenous injection, a less invasive and more convenient method than local injection, for the improvement of ovarian function in POI following chemotherapy.

Study Question: Is elevated plasma molybdenum level associated with increased risk for idiopathic premature ovarian insufficiency (POI)?
Summary Answer: Elevated plasma molybdenum level is associated with an increased risk of idiopathic POI through vascular endothelial injury and inhibition of granulosa cell proliferation.
What Is Known Already: Excessive molybdenum exposure has been associated with ovarian oxidative stress in animals but its role in the development of POI remains unknown.
Study Design, Size, Duration: Case-control study of 30 women with idiopathic POI and 31 controls enrolled from August 2018 to May 2019.
Ultrasound characteristics and risk factors of female patients with pelvic varicose veins and concomitant chronic pelvic pain.

Beijing Shijitan Hospital, Beijing, China. Electronic address:
Objective: The study aims to elucidate clinical and ultrasonographic characteristics of female patients diagnosed with pelvic varicose veins (PVVs) and to assess potential risk factors associated with incidences of chronic pelvic pain (CPP) in this population.
Methods: Clinical and ultrasound data were retrospectively collected from female patients with PVVs at Beijing Shijitan Hospital between December 2017 and October 2022. Patient cohorts were divided into two groups based on whether they had been experiencing non-periodic pelvic pain over 6 months, consistent with the symptoms of CPP.
