AI Article Synopsis
- Imperforate Hymen (IH) is a rare congenital condition affecting about 1 in 2000 female births that requires surgical intervention, typically hymenotomy or hymenectomy.
- The authors reported two IH cases with varying symptoms and introduced a virginity-preserving surgical technique to accommodate cultural sensitivities.
- This procedure avoids the use of antibiotics and catheters, aiming to create an intact hymen while addressing both medical and social concerns for unmarried girls.
Article Abstract
Imperforate Hymen (IH), an obstructive congenital anomaly of the female genital tract, is seen in 1 in 2000 female births. Treatment of IH is hymenotomy or hymenectomy. Different types of incisions are mentioned in the literature. We reported two cases of IH with different clinical presentations and described a simple virginity preserving and socially acceptable procedure to protect the virginity of the patient. In cultures and religions where the destruction of the hymen is a social problem in unmarried girls, virginity sparing surgery should be chosen in gynecological practice. Here we described a simple procedure without need for prophylactic antibiotic treatment and foley catheter application to form an intact annular hymen in two cases.

The potential of endogenous -alkane profiling for the assessment of extra virgin olive oils (EVOO) adulteration (blends with cheaper vegetable oils) has been studied by relatively few authors. Analytical methods used for this purpose often involve tedious and solvent-intensive sample preparation prior to analytical determination, making them unattractive. A rapid and solvent-sparing offline solid phase extraction (SPE) gas chromatography (GC) flame ionization detection (FID) method for the determination of endogenous -alkanes in vegetable oils was, therefore, optimized and validated.

Effective nutrition therapy is a pressing issue in obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) management. As such, this research aimed to determine the performance of a revised dietary strategy built on the protein-sparing diet in obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus with regard to obtaining a rapid and stable improvement in glucometabolic control, body weight, body composition, and energy metabolism when applying the strategy in just twenty-one days. The revised protein-sparing diet differs from the traditional protein-sparing modified fast (PSMF) because it does not include foods.

Purpose Of The Study: The aim of this study was to show the clinical results of postoperative evaluation of cases of imperforate hymen that presented at our center during a 21-year period.
Methods: A Foley's catheter was inserted in 74 patients of imperforate hymen who reported to the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Meram Faculty of Medicine, Necmettin Erbakan University, between January 1, 1996, and December 31, 2016 with history of pelvic pain. In each case, the hymen was opened via a circular incision from the central of the distended.
