Increases In Risk

Abstract Gonorrhea and chlamydia are important causes of pelvic inflammatory disease. Chlamydia also causes long-term sequelae, but the role of gonorrhea is unclear. We followed 300 000 reproductive-aged women for 10 years for ectopic pregnancy and tubal infertility; our findings suggest both infections confer similar increases in risk of these outcomes.

Line Therapy

The European guideline for the management of pelvic inflammatory disease includes evidence-based advice on the investigation and treatment of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). It has been updated to acknowledge the role of Mycoplasma genitalium as an important cause of PID with testing now recommended for women presenting with possible PID and for the male partners of women with confirmed M. genitalium infection. Recent evidence suggests that serious adverse events are uncommon when using moxifloxacin and its use is now recommended as a first-line therapy, especially in those women with M. genitalium PID. The potential utility of MRI scanning of the pelvis in excluding differential diagnoses has been highlighted. The use of doxycycline is now suggested as empirical treatment for male partners of women with PID to reduce exposure to macrolide antibiotics, which has been associated with increased resistance in M. genitalium.

Control Study

The increase in the incidence of ectopic pregnancy in the last 20 years, with the serious compromise of the woman's obstetric future and the life-threatening complications caused by it, makes ectopic pregnancy a very current problem, frequently encountered in Obstetrics-Gynecology clinics The aim of this study is to compare how risk factors and management can influence the incidence and the risk of recurrence of ectopic pregnancy. This paper presents a prospective case-control study for 65 patients, who have been diagnosed serologically and ultrasonically. In the present study, the most common risk factors involved were: pelvic inflammatory disease (46%), ectopic pregnancy (20%), smoking (85%), abortions (55%), and abdominal surgery (43%). In the group of patients studied, patients required surgical and medical treatment, and also a management of expectation. The risk factors that influence recurrence were smoking (100%), pelvic inflammatory disease (84.6%), abortions (53.8%), abdominal surgery (46%). By the type of surgery (laparoscopy or laparotomy), the risk of recurrence varies between 6 and 10% and does not seem to be influenced by it.

Pilot Sample

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is a frequent condition of young women, often resulting in reproductive morbidity. Although Neisseria gonorrhoeae and/or Chlamydia trachomatis are/is recovered from approximately a third to a half of women with PID, the etiologic agent is often unidentified. We need PCR to test for M genitalium among a pilot sample of 50 women with nongonococcal, nonchlamydial endometritis enrolled in the PID evaluation and clinical health (PEACH) study. All participants had pelvic pain, pelvic organ tenderness, and leukorrhea, mucopurulent cervicitis, or untreated cervicitis. Endometritis was defined as≥5 surface epithelium neutrophils per×400field absent of menstrual endometrium and/or≥2 stromal plasma cells per×120field. We detected M genitalium in 7 (14%) of the women tested: 6 (12%) in cervical specimens and 4 (8%) in endometrial specimens. We conclude that M genitalium is prevalent in the endometrium of women with nongonococcal, nonchlamydial PID.

Objective: To find out the causative factors for rising rate of ectopic pregnancy in young women at periphery. Design: Descriptive study. Place and Duration of Study: Maula Bakhsh Teaching Hospital ( Obstetrical and gynaecological unit) Sargodha , from January 2008 – December 2008. Patients and Methods: All patients who were presented in labour room emergency and gynaecological out patients department with confirmed diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy on USG were included in the study. A pre-formed proforma was used to record the details about the demographic features, pre-existing risk factors for ectopic pregnancy, clinical features at presentation and management. Results: Frequency of ectopic pregnancy was too high in our study compared to international studies. Majority of patients were young and nullipara. Leading risk factor is pelvic inflammatory disease due to septic induced abortion. 92% of patients had acute presentation. Conclusions: Rising rate of ectopic pregnancy was found in young, nulliparous women secondary to pelvic inflammatory disease. The frequency can be reduced by awareness of reproductive health care, liberal contraceptive utilization, acceptable adequate planned family. Early diagnosis and timely referral may be helpful in treating the patients prior to tubal rupture with decreased morbidity and mortality.
