Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate outcomes after standardized transvaginal prolapse repair with nonanchored mesh and a vaginal support device.
Study Design: Postoperative vaginal support was assessed by pelvic organ prolapse quantitative examination after repair of symptomatic stage II/III prolapse. Validated questionnaires assessed pelvic symptoms and sexual function. Visual analog scales quantified experience with the vaginal support device.
Results: One hundred thirty-six women received the planned surgery; 95.6% of the women returned for the 1-year assessment: 76.9% of the cases were stage 0/I; however, in 86.9% of the cases, the leading vaginal edge was above the hymen. Pelvic symptoms, quality of life, and sexual function improved significantly from baseline (P < .05). Median visual analog scale scores for vaginal support device awareness and discomfort were 2.6 and 1.2, respectively (0 = none; 10 = worst possible).
Conclusion: Vaginal support, pelvic symptoms, and sexual function improved at 1 year, compared with baseline, after trocar-free prolapse repair with nonanchored mesh and a vaginal support device.

To continue working during menses, female sex workers (FSW) may use unhygienic absorbents to hide their menstrual status. The menstrual disc may provide a solution. Little is known about men's knowledge and views, specifically around sex during menstruation with FSW, a population who are particularly vulnerable to violence which may be heightened during menses.

Background: Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is the leading cause of maternal mortality worldwide, and effective training in PPH rescue techniques is crucial. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of combining case-based learning (CBL) and problem-based learning (PBL) with simulation teaching methods in improving midwifery trainees' technical proficiency in managing PPH.
Methods: This quasi-experimental study involved 76 trainees who received PPH training at Peking University Third Hospital from March to July 2023.

Background: Early initiation of breastfeeding is defined as giving breast milk to the newborn within one hour of birth. It strengthens the link between mother and child, promotes cognitive development, and lowers the chance of obesity and non-communicable diseases during the prime years of life. Nowadays, only 50% of newborns worldwide receive breast milk within their first hour of life.
