A case is reported of the presence of an intrauterine device into the bladder due to uterine perforation with calculus formation in a 39 year old woman, with two pregnancies after its installation. The patient was seen for complaints of pelvic pain, pollakiuria, dysuria and tenesmus, without uterine sintomatology. The case was studied in July of 1993 in the General Hospital "Vicente Guerrero" of Acapulco. To our knowledge only 19 previous cases have been reported in the literature of migration of an intrauterine device into the bladder with calculus formation. The literature is reviewed and we discuss the clinico-radiological findings.

Unlike high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC), which mainly affects postmenopausal women, mucinous ovarian carcinoma (MOC) affects younger patients, with a median age at diagnosis of 53 years, and is rare among premenopausal women. After they receive anticancer treatment, these women encounter specific issues involving fertility preservation (FP) and/or pregnancy, which potentially require assisted reproductive technology (ART) as well as the prescription of hormonal contraception (HC) or hormone replacement therapy (HRT). We reviewed the available literature in PubMed/Medline concerning the risks of the development of ovarian cancer (OC), including MOC, associated with ART, HC and HRT, and literature on the impact of ovarian stimulation in the context of FP and/or ART, HC and HRT in women previously treated for OC, including MOC.

NPs play a pivotal role in preventing unintended pregnancies in the US. This article provides a comprehensive update on emergency contraception (EC) trends, emphasizing the persistent challenge of reducing unintended pregnancies-a key health priority in the Healthy People 2030 initiative.
