Introduction: Intrauterine devices (IUD) are viewed as important contraceptive methodologies to prevent unintended pregnancy.
Areas Covered: This expert opinion examines the place of frameless devices for use in young women in order to minimize side effect, improve patient comfort and maximize continuation of use to help reduce unintended pregnancies.
Expert Opinion: Frameless designed IUDs have the ability to be used in both small and large uterine cavities of varied shapes and can significantly reduce abnormal bleeding, pain, embedment and expulsion and likely account for higher continuation rates than that seen with framed IUDs.

Background Hysteroscopy, a minimally invasive procedure for diagnosing and treating intrauterine pathologies, can be challenging due to inadequate cervical dilation, leading to procedural difficulties and patient discomfort. Misoprostol, a synthetic prostaglandin E1 analog, is increasingly used for cervical ripening to ease hysteroscopic procedures. Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of misoprostol for cervical ripening prior to hysteroscopy.

The microbiota plays a significant role in the predisposition and development of immune diseases, as well as various inflammatory processes. Importantly, the proper colonization of the fetal digestive system is influenced by maternal microbiota, the method of pregnancy completion and the further formation of the microbiota.

Background: The early colonization and establishment of the microbiome in newborns is a crucial step in the development of the immune system and host metabolism. However, the exact timing of initial microbial colonization remains a subject of ongoing debate. While numerous studies have attempted to determine the presence or absence of intrauterine bacteria, the majority of them have drawn conclusions based on sequencing data from maternal or infant samples taken at a single time point.
