Objective: To estimate long-term outcomes of biopsy-confirmed cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 1 (CIN1) or normal cervix and identify the cofactors during disease progression.
Methods: In 1999, a cervical cancer screening cohort in Shanxi, China, enrolled 1997 women aged 35-45. They were followed up at year 6, 11, and 15 after enrollment with high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) DNA testing, liquid-based cytology, and visual inspection with acetic acid. Progression, persistence, and regression rates were calculated, stratified by baseline hrHPV and cytological status. Risk factors associated with hrHPV acquisition, persistence, and progression were examined.
Results: The cumulative rates of progression to CIN2+ among CIN1 over 6, 11, and 15 years were 7.5%, 21.4%, and 24.0%, respectively; the regression rates to normal cervix were 85.0%, 76.7%, and 72.9%, respectively. Over 6, 11, and 15 years, 0.7%, 2.9%, and 5.2% of normal cervix developed CIN2+, respectively, but over 90% remained normal after 15 years. CIN1 or normal cervix positive for hrHPV had significantly higher progression rates to CIN2+ than those without hrHPV. Similarly, the severity of cytological status was found to be associated with an increased risk of developing CIN2+. Women who had an earlier sexual debut were at a higher risk of acquiring new HPV infection and repeated HPV infections.
Conclusions: Clinical follow-up strategies for women with CIN1 or normal cervix could be adjusted accordingly based on hrHPV/cytology status.

Introduction/purpose: It is well-documented in the literature that the placenta migrates during pregnancy; however, studies regarding placental cord insertion (PCI) migration are scarce. This longitudinal, prospective study aimed to determine whether PCI migration is a true phenomenon, to assess whether the PCI can change classification during pregnancy and to determine the validity of PCI site documentation including follow-up of abnormal PCI.
Methods: Eighty-three participants who had first, second and third trimester ultrasound examinations at a Western Australian private imaging practice over a 12-month period between November 2021 and November 2022 were recruited.
<b>Background and Objective:</b> Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in Indonesia, where traditional herbal treatments like <i>Zanthoxylum acanthopodium</i> (andaliman) are culturally used. Investigating protein biomarkers such as E7, pRb, EGFR and p16 can help assess the efficacy of these treatments. <b>Materials and Methods:</b> There were 5 groups in this study: 2 control groups (C- and C+) and 3 treatment groups (each receiving one of three doses).

The patient presented with severe dyspareunia and dysmenorrhea. Imaging revealed a complex Müllerian anomaly and hysteroscopic treatment was agreed.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Complete bicorporeal uterus, double cervix and obstructive longitudinal vaginal septum (classified as U3bC2V2 according to ESHRE/ESGE classification) is a rare congenital anomaly of the genital tract. This condition is typically associated with ipsilateral renal agenesis and is known as Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome or OHVIRA (Obstructed HemiVagina and Ipsilateral Renal Anomaly) syndrome. The primary symptoms include dysmenorrhea and pelvic pain, which usually manifest after menarche due to haematocolpos in the obstructed hemivagina.

Background: Cervical ectropion is frequently associated with vaginal symptoms requiring therapeutic intervention. However, no scientific consensus has been reached regarding the use of local re-epithelialization therapy to prevent severe bleeding, wound inflammation, and infection of cervical lesions.
Objective: The aim of our study was to investigate the aspect of the cervix by colposcopy after a 3-month treatment with an intravaginal medical device in the context of postoperative care of the symptomatic ectropion.
