Complex clinical and ultrasound examination of 81 women with chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) of the pelvis was analyzed. All the patients had left-side regional renal venous hypertension which caused valvular insufficiency of the left ovarian vein with spread of the reno-ovarian blood reflux onto the pampiniform, uterovaginal, presacral, vesical and rectal plexuses. Right-side cavaovarial reflux of blood was found but in 29.6% of the patients and in combination with reno-ovarial reflux caused complete decompression of the venous outflow from the pelvis. The treatment was performed depending on the stage of CVI of the pelvis. At the stage of compensation (59.3% of patients) complex conservative treatment was used, at the stage of subcompensation (17.3%)--sclerotherapy, at the stage of decompensation (23.4%)--operative dissection of gonad veins. Excellent results were registered in 34.5%, good--in 43.2%, satisfactory--in 21%, unsatisfactory in 1.2% of the patients. On the basis of self-assessment of quality of life 77.8% of the patients thought to be completely restored, 16%--improved, 6.2% of women had no changes.

Pelvic floor muscle training patient reported Outcome Measures (PROM) (PFMT-P): Turkish adaptation and its validity and relibiality.

Objective: Although there are several patient reported outcome measures (PROM) regarding knowledge, source of knowledge and practice about pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT), there is a lack of a valid and reliable PROM that includes the practice component of PFMT along with knowledge and source of knowledge. There is no valid and reliable measurement tool in Turkish used for this purpose. In this context, the aim of our study is to evaluate the psychometric properties of Pelvic Floor Muscle Training Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROM) (PFMT-P) and to test whether it is a valid and reliable measurement tool for Turkish women.

Pelvic floor disorders (PFDs), as a silent alert, is one of the pervasive debilitating health concerns among women all over the world, such that in developed countries, one in four women, suffers from PFDs. Validity and reliability of the Australian Pelvic Floor Questionnaire (APFQ) has not been determined in Iran, so to determine APFQ's psychometric characteristics, we decided to conduct this study on women of reproductive age in Tabriz city, Iran. This methodological cross-sectional study was intended to determine the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the APFQ-IR in 5 steps including "translation process, content validity, face validity, construct validity (exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses and examination of ceiling and floor effects) and reliability" on 400 reproductive age women referring to health centers in Tabriz city, Iran, with cluster random sampling method in the period between May 2022 to September 2022.

Background: Every year, millions of women worldwide suffer in silence from pelvic floor disorders (PFDs) as an annoying health problem. Despite the high prevalence rate and negative effects of PFDs on the quality of life, the validity and reliability of pelvic floor distress inventory-short form (PFDI-20) has not been confirmed for Iranian women of reproductive age. Hence, this study aimed to determine measurement properties of PFDI-20 among women of reproductive age in Tabriz, Iran.

Objective: To assess the prevalence and spectrum of FMD and other extracoronary arterial abnormalities in patients with SCAD vs controls.
