Diagnostic and therapeutic hysteroscopy in Ethiopia: a retrospective study on practice and outcomes.

Background: Hysteroscopy is considered the standard for evaluating the uterine cavity. Limited data exists regarding hysteroscopy in Ethiopia. Therefore, the objective of the study was to describe the diagnostic and operative hysteroscopic procedures at St.

Clinical Characteristics, and Prevalence of Hepatic and Bone Mineral Density Abnormalities in Patients with Sheehan Syndrome: Data from a Tertiary Care Centre.

Objective: Sheehan syndrome (SS), or postpartum pituitary necrosis occurs due to reduced vascular supply following postpartum hemorrhage, often linked to coagulation abnormalities, and pituitary antibodies. A smaller sella turcica volume is a risk factor for SS, consequent to compressive effects on the pituitary stalk. Hypopituitarism in SS increases the risk of metabolic liver and bone diseases.

Age and serum Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) levels as predictors of time to return of menses after chemotherapy.

Chemotherapeutic agents result in the loss of growing follicles, which can manifest as amenorrhoea. Alkylating chemotherapy (AC) is known to be more gonadotoxic than non-alkylating chemotherapy (NAC). Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH), an indirect marker of ovarian reserve, and age have been investigated as predictors of ovarian function after chemotherapy, however little is known about the time to return of menses.

McIndoe Vaginoplasty in MRKHS: Case Report and Literature Review.

Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome (MRKHS) is a rare congenital disorder characterized by agenesis of the uterus and upper two-thirds of the vagina. It affects around 1 in 4000-5000 females and is of two types: type 1, also known as isolated Müllerian aplasia or Rokitansky, which involves only uterovaginal agenesis, and type 2, presents as uterovaginal agenesis along with renal, cardiac, and other organ anomalies. Despite the absence of vaginal and uterine structures, individuals with MRKHS typically present with normal secondary sexual characteristics and ovarian functions.

Osseous metaplasia of the endometrium presenting as haematometra: a rare presentation.

Osseous metaplasia of the endometrium is a rare condition involving the bone tissue in the endometrial cavity. Its presence along with haematometra is an infrequent condition and is not reported until now. We present a case of a woman in her mid-30s with primary infertility and secondary amenorrhoea.

Telerehabilitation with a Patient Diagnosed with Acromegaly and Bilateral Total Loss of Vision Secondary to Pituitary Macroadenoma: A Case Report.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused unprecedented disruptions in the lives of people, inducing a change in social behavior because of quarantine and physical distancing measures for health safety. It greatly affected not only the general population but also the healthcare system, forcing healthcare providers and consumers to adjust from the traditional mode of in-person consultation to telemedicine to enable safe and prompt delivery of adequate and efficient patient care. A 35-year-old female was diagnosed with acromegaly secondary to pituitary macroadenoma, presenting as a 10-year history of weight gain, amenorrhea, hand and feet enlargement, coarse facial features, and bilateral vision loss.

Unveiling the Unknown: Nicaragua's First Recorded Case of Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser Syndrome.

Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome is a congenital disorder affecting the female reproductive system, primarily characterized by the absence or underdevelopment of the uterus and upper two-thirds of the vagina, with preserved ovarian function and normal secondary sexual characteristics. It is a rare disease though prevalence may vary based on genetic and environmental factors. This report details a case of a 26-year-old female patient with a history of smoking, alcohol use, and prior inguinal hernioplasty, presenting with primary amenorrhea and inability to engage in vaginal intercourse.

Contraception with levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system versus copper intrauterine device: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Background: Globally, approximately 19.4% of women of reproductive age use intrauterine contraception, encompassing both copper intrauterine devices (Cu-IUDs) and levonorgestrel intrauterine devices (LNG-IUDs). Despite current guidelines endorsing intrauterine contraception as a primary method, there remains debate regarding device selection.

Challenges in laparoscopic gonadectomy for complete androgen insensitivity syndrome with nonpalpable inguinal glands.

Introduction And Importance: Laparoscopic gonadectomy for nonpalpable glands in the inguinal canal, particularly in patients with Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (CAIS), presents technical challenges and is infrequently reported. While laparoscopic surgery in young women is minimally invasive and offers cosmetic advantages, it may require an additional inguinal incision depending on gonad location.

Case Presentation: A 16-year-old phenotypic female with a chief complaint of primary amenorrhea was diagnosed with 46, XY karyotype and CAIS.

Ectopic acromegaly with tumoral range hyperprolactinemia and apoplexy with a dramatic regression of pituitary hyperplasia.

Acromegaly due to ectopic secretion of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) is a rare disorder. The signs and symptoms of ectopic acromegaly are indistinguishable from acromegaly due to a somatotroph adenoma. A 35-year-old female presented with secondary amenorrhea for 10 years, intermittent headache, and reduced vision in both eyes for 4 years, which worsened over 4 months before presentation.
