Abnormal Uterine Bleeding due to Retention of Fetal Bones after Abortion: A Case Report

Background: Retention of fetal bones is a rare cause of abnormal uterine bleeding. Others may present as subfertility, chronic pelvic pain, abnormal vaginal discharge, menometrorrhagia, dysmenorrhea and spontaneous expulsion of bony fragments. Incidence is 0.26% among patients undergoing hysteroscopy. Aim: To document a pattern of presentation of retained fetal bone and its management. Case Presentation: Our patient is an 18-year old who presented with vaginal bleeding of four weeks duration and managed for abnormal uterine bleeding due to retained fetal bone following second trimester abortion. Conclusion: The use of transvaginal ultrasound in making diagnosis of retained fetal bone is effective. Treatment by removal of bones through evacuation by dilatation and curettage or hysteroscopy brings about resolution of symptoms. Use of pelvic ultrasonography to confirm complete evacuation of the uterus after abortion especially second trimester abortion could aid in early diagnosis and management of incomplete abortion.

Clinical and Demographic Profile of Women with Uterine Fibroids Living in Puerto Rico

Introduction: Uterine leiomyomas, or fibroids, are prevalent benign tumors affecting up to 70% of reproductive-age women in the United States, significantly impacting productivity and quality of life. Despite their commonality, the epidemiology and clinical patterns of leiomyomas in Puerto Rico remain inadequately researched. Methods: This study conducted a secondary data analysis using clinical, menstrual cycle characteristics, and demographic data from self-administered questionnaires of women undergoing diagnostic laparoscopy for endometriosis in Puerto Rico. Chi-square tests and t-tests analyzed categorical and continuous variables, respectively (p Results: Among 1,610 endometriosis cases, 312 included uterine fibroids. Prevalence estimates were 10.3% (40 years). Primiparous women averaged 22.14 years, with 40.71% having 2 - 3 pregnancies and 26.28% experiencing miscarriages. Symptoms included infertility (29.5%), dyspareunia (40.7%), severe pain (50%), and dysmenorrhea (75.6%). Comorbidities included ovarian cysts (52.2%) and abnormal uterine bleeding (37.8%). Conclusions: Advanced age, parity, and comorbidities like diabetes and hypertension were prevalent in our cohort. Understanding the epidemiological profile of women living in Puerto Rico with uterine fibroids is crucial for improving diagnostic awareness and enhancing patient care.

Acute recurrent cerebral infarction caused by moyamoya disease complicated with adenomyosis:A case report

BACKGROUND Moyamoya disease is essentially an ischemic cerebrovascular disease.Here,we describe a case of acute recurrent cerebral infarction caused by moyamoya disease with concurrent adenomyosis which,to our knowledge,is the first in the literature.A literature review is also presented.CASE SUMMARY A 38-year-old female presented to the Research and Treatment Center of Moyamoya Disease in our hospital with"left limb weakness"as the main symptom.She was diagnosed with acute cerebral infarction and moyamoya disease through magnetic resonance imaging and digital subtraction angiography.Prior to this,she had experienced a prolonged menstrual period of one-month duration.This was investigated and adenomyosis was diagnosed.After passing the acute cerebral infarction phase,the patient underwent surgery for adenomyosis followed by combined cerebral revascularization.During the postoperative follow-up,improvements of the perfusion imaging stage and modified Rankin Scale were observed.A review of the literature showed only 16 reported cases of gynecological diseases complicated with stroke.The clinical characteristics,pathogenesis,therapeutic effects,and long-term prognosis of these cases have been studied and discussed.CONCLUSION In patients with moyamoya disease,early management of gynecological-related bleeding disorders is essential to prevent the complications of cerebral events.

Application of Comprehensive Health Education in Nursing of Patients with Metrorrhagia and Metrostaxis Treated by Hysteroscopic Electrotomy

Objective:To explore the application of health education in the nursing care of patients with metrorrhagia and metrostaxis after hysteroscopic electrotomy and the effect on the occurrence of disease complications.Methods:Totally 70 patients admitted from March 2018 to March 2019 were randomly divided into two groups.The control group was given routine nursing,while the observation group was given comprehensive health education combined with routine nursing.The unhealthy emotions(anxiety and depression)of patients were assessed using Hamilton Depression Scale(HAMD)and Hamilton Anxiety Scale(HAMA).The incidence of complications,and surgical related matters were recorded and compared between two groups after nursing interventions.Results:A lower HAMD score,A lower HAMA score,a shorter hospitalization time,a shorter operation time and a less intraoperative bleeding volume,a lower incidence rate of complications(massive bleeding and uterine perforation),and a higher degree of patients’cooperation in surgery were shown in observation group compared with control group after nursing intervention(P all<0.05).Conclusion:The application of health education in the nursing of metrorrhagia and metrostaxis patients can relieve the patients’anxiety and depression,improve their understanding and mastery of relevant disease knowledge and their ability to cope with bleeding and their self-health care,as well as reduce the incidence of complications and the length of hospital stay and promote the rehabilitation of patients.Therefore,it is worthy of clinical application.

Atypical endometrial hyperplasia in a 35-year-old woman:A case report and literature review

BACKGROUND Atypical endometrial hyperplasia(AEH)is a common precancerous lesion of endometrial carcinoma(EC).The risk factors for AEH and EC directly or indirectly related to estrogen exposure include early menarche,nulliparity,polycystic ovarian syndrome,diabetes,and obesity.Both AEH and EC rarely occur in young patients(<40-years-old),who may desire to maintain their fertility.Evaluating the cancer risk of AEH patients is helpful for the determination of therapeutic plans.CASE SUMMARY We report a rare case of AEH in a 35-year-old woman who presented to the Hunan Provincial Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital with a large mass in the uterus.She married at 20-years-old,and had been married for more than 15 years to date.Several characteristics of this patient were observed,including nulliparity,limited sexual activity(intercourse 1-2 times a year)in recent years,and irregular vaginal bleeding for 2 years.Gynecological examination revealed an enlarged uterus,similar to the uterus size in the fourth month of pregnancy,and the uterine wall was relatively hard.Curettage was performed based on transvaginal sonography and magnetic resonance imaging results.Findings from the pathological examination were typical for AEH.The patient was cured after treatment with the standard therapy of high-dose progesterone.CONCLUSION In patients with intrauterine lumps that may be malignant,a pathological report should be obtained.

Possible Effect of COVID-19 Vaccines on Menstruation in Cape Coast, Ghana, West Africa: Case Series Report

Covid-19 was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization;it has caused more than 4,697,099 deaths worldwide. Since the discovery of Vaccines, the rate of infections and deaths are declining in countries that were able to conduct mass vaccination, making the vaccines the most effect tool in the fight against Covid-19. However, there is still vaccination skepticism. The side effects of vaccines could fuel more skepticism. There are emerging possible new side effects such as abnormal uterine bleeding post Covid-19 vaccination, for which health care providers and the population should be aware. In this paper, we are reporting three (3) cases of abnormal uterine bleeding which seems to be linked to Covid-19 vaccines. We reported two incidents of heavy menstrual bleeding and one incident of inter-menstrual bleeding which are likely associated with COVID 19 vaccination, even though the causality could not be confirmed. Also both types of vaccines, Messenger RNA and Adenovirus vector could possibly be associated with abnormal uterine bleeding. As research is still ongoing, more knowledge would be available, meanwhile, healthcare providers and the population should be made aware of the new possible side effects of Covid-19 vaccines.
