The article presents a review of the literature in recent years on the problem of peritoneal pelvic adhesions in women of reproductive age. The main issues of etiology and pathogenesis of peritoneal pelvic adhesions as one of the leading causes of reproductive dysfunction, chronic pelvic pain and surgical complications in patients of reproductive age are highlighted. It has been shown that the main etiological preconditions for formation of adhesions and the development of adhesive intestinal obstruction are a peritoneal injury, intraabdominal bleeding, presence of infection, influence of various aggressive substances, local antibiotic therapy, and regional tissue ischemia. Peritoneal commissures have high health and social significance due to a wide range of surgical procedures causing peritoneal trauma and to a high frequency of adhesive process. Pelvic adhesion is a dynamic differentiated cell vascularized structure. Development of an active inflammatory process, which involving cells and proinflammatory mediators may be into a stage of tissue remodeling, collagen formation, that is the initial symptoms of adhesions. A vicious circle and a cascade of mutually supporting changes leads to adhesive disease and patients’ disability. Whatever reasons of adhesions are, ones are a major cause of pelvic pain, infertility and ovarian failure. Though the researches of the pathophysiological mechanisms of growth of adhesions are going on the attempts to determine effective methods to prevent adhesions do not rule to expected results. Keywords: peritoneal adhesions, adhesive disease, etiology, pathogenesis, prevention, treatment, reproductive age.

Abstract Background Family planning services deliver a wide range of benefits to the well-being of females and the community. It can curtail the risk of maternal and neonatal mortality through the reduction in abortions and pregnancies. The government of Pakistan has been struggling to convince people about the usefulness of family planning programs. However, different factors related to social norms, values, and culture are important to determine the success of these programs. One such factor is the patriarchal structure of Pakistani society where most of the household decisions are made by men. The objective of this research is to examine the role of the husband’s attitude towards the usage of contraceptives for the unmet need of family planning (UMNFP) among married women of reproductive age (MWRA) in Pakistan. Method The dataset of Pakistan Demographic and Health Survey 2017–18 is utilized to examine the role of the husband’s attitude towards the usage of contraceptives in UMNFP among MWRA in Pakistan. Results The UMNFP was considerably lower among MWRA between 40 years and above compared to women 15–19 years. The odds of UMNFP were higher among women and men who were educated up to the primary level compared to those with no education. Odds of UMNFP were higher among women from the poor wealth quintile compared to the poorest wealth quintile; similarly, it was significantly lower among women who were from the richer and the richest wealth quintile compared to the poorest wealth quintile. The odds of UMNFP were lower among women who were employed compared to those who were not employed. Lastly, the odds of UMNFP were higher among women whose husbands opposed to using contraceptives, who perceived that there was a religious prohibition for such use and when a decision on the contraception use was solely made by the husband. Conclusions Husband’s attitude towards the usage of contraceptives is an important predictor of UMNFP. Liaising with the community and religious leaders to persuade people particularly men about the usefulness of family planning programs and encouraging men to understand their women’s say in using contraceptives should be encouraged.

Menstrual Flow

The pelvic endometriosis is considered a relatively common, benign, estrogen-dependent disease associated with complaints of pelvic pain and infertility, affecting 6% to 10% of women of reproductive age. The etiopathogenesis of the disease is based on some theories and hypotheses. Classical theories include the hypothesis of migratory pathogenesis by retrograde menstrual flow, the theory of celomic metaplasia, the theory of embryonic rest or even iatrogenic deposition during abdominal surgical procedures

Endometriosis remains an unresolved problem in gynecology. The urgency of the fight against this disease is due to its high prevalence among women of reproductive age. Endometriosis, especially its infiltration forms, affects all aspects of the patients life, its clinical manifestations pelvic pain, dyspareunia, dysmenorrhea, dyschezia, lead to social disadaptation, problems in personal life, depression and anxiety. The socio-economic burden of the disease motivates researchers to further study the pathogenesis of endometriosis and search for pathogenetically justified pharmacological solutions.

The Impact

This study aimed to examine the impact of a wide range of demographic, socioeconomic, and community factors on the double burden of malnutrition among women of reproductive age using longitudinal data. We used data about 11,348 women of reproductive age who participated in the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS), a longitudinal survey, between 1989 and 2015. Nutritional outcomes were categorized into four groups, namely underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obesity, with normal weight as reference. A multinomial logit model was fitted due to geographic clustering and repeated observations of individuals. The prevalence of underweight decreased over time from 1991 but has tended to rise again since 2004, while the prevalence of overweight/obesity continued to rise between 1991 and 2015. Improved individual factors, socioeconomic status, and community urbanization reduced the risk of underweight but elevated the risk of overweight and obesity. The medium levels, rather than the highest levels, of household income and community urbanization are associated with a higher risk of overweight and obesity. The notable increase in underweight prevalence is a cause for concern to be addressed along with efforts to curb the rising tide of overweight. In order to enhance the nutritional status of women of reproductive age, it is essential to improving the community environment, levels of education, and living environment from a wider context. Long-term and targeted plans are urgently needed for nutrition improvements among the different populations.

Endometriosis is predominantly a disease of women of reproductive age group. Endometriosis is not uncommon in adolescents. Presentation tends to focus on pain, especially intractable dysmenorrhea and chronic pelvic pain. In around 60% of patients with endometriosis symptoms start in adolscence. Pain unresponsive to treatment is the usual indication for a Laproscopy. The appearance of endometriotic lesions is different from that of adults. Medical and surgical options for treatment are available. Endometriosis may be progressive and adverse effects may go beyond pain and cause infertility.

Hyperandrogenism syndrome, the main manifestations of which are pathological hirsutism, acne, oily seborrhea, androgenic alopecia, accompanies a wide range of diseases of the female reproductive system, manifested by various disorders of menstrual function and infertility. Isolated hirsutism is also a serious psychological and cosmetic problem, especially since almost one in ten women of reproductive age have excessive hair growth. To get rid of "excess" hair, women use various methods. However, in severe manifestations of hyperandrogenism or in the case of severe and moderate hirsutism, it is advisable to use systemic antiandrogenic therapy.

Fibroid, also called leiomyomas, is common tumor of the uterus. Usually, women of reproductive age are at risk of getting it. However, majority of these women develop fibroid (s) by the age of 50 years. This condition usually causes painful and unpleasant symptoms such as; heavy bleeding, prolonged periods, inter-menstrual bleeding, abdominal pain and cramps, anemia, pelvic pain and pain during sexual intercourse, among others. Abnormal bleeding, such as bleeding that occurs with fibroids and heavy periods, often lasts more than 10 days per month. This fibroid symptom involves persistent bleeding between cycles, which can severely impact one’s quality of life. Abnormal bleeding, especially in fibroids, can be taken as missing three or more periods in a woman who had been having regular monthly period, or periods that last less than 21 days or more than 35 days apart from each other. Another indication of an abnormal period is bleeding through multiple pads and tampons in a short amount of time.

Gynecological Disorder

Ovarian cystadenofibroma (CAF) is a rare ovarian tumor originating both from epithelial and stromal components being, however, classified as epithelial tumors. CAF prevalence among all ovarian tumors does not exceed more than 1.7 %. CAFs are commonly asymptomatic, in extremely rare cases of large tumor or ovarian torsion pain sensation may be noted. External genital endometriosis (EGE) is a chronic gynecological disorder that occurs in women of reproductive age and cause infertility and pelvic pain. EGE prevalence comprises around 10 % in women of reproductive age, 20–50 % in women with infertility, and almost 90 % in women with chronic pelvic pain. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is method of choice in diagnostics of such pathology due to the high natural soft tissue contrast and functional techniques such as diffusion-weighted images (DWI) and dynamic contrast enhancement (DCE). Surgery planning, necessity for systemic therapy or follow-up directly depend on imaging and diagnostic laparoscopy results. Here we present a clinical case of rarely combined serous papillary CAF with extended EGE accompanied with consequences of intra-tumoral hemorrhage. Case study demonstrates main visualization characteristics that provide correct differential diagnosis and exclude malignancy transformation.

Introduction: Despite having one of lowest rates of newly diagnosed HIV infections among former Soviet countries, Tajikistan has a substantial level of discriminatory attitudes towards people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). While initial attempts were made to explore discriminatory attitudes of a wide range of professionals, women’s general attitudes towards PLWHA received less scholarly attention. Employing a nationally representative sample from the 2000 and 2005 Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS), sociodemographic determinants of HIV-related discriminatory attitudes of women aged 15-49 in Tajikistan were identified and examined over time.Methods:  A representative sample included 5,453 women of reproductive age from the capital city and four regions of Tajikistan. Two dichotomized scenarios  representing the agreement to let an HIV-infected teacher continue teaching in school and the willingness to buy food from an HIV-infected cashier were constructed. Univariate and multivariable analyses of HIV-related discriminatory attitudes were obtained using Stata 14.Results: Insignificant but positive changes were observed in the women’s attitudes between 2000 and 2005. Logistic regression models showed that negative attitudes were associated with the lack of knowledge of HIV/AIDS prevention methods, endorsement of HIV/AIDS transmission misconceptions, and never having been tested for HIV (p≤0.001). Women living in the rural areas, married, with lower education, and from low income households were less tolerant towards PLWHA.Conclusions: The data from Tajikistan underscore the persistence of HIV-related discriminatory attitudes among low socioeconomic status women. The study findings can be potentially used to target the disadvantaged groups and guide the design and implementation of programs that promote voluntary HIV-testing, raise awareness about HIV/AIDS prevention methods, and help dispel transmission misconceptions.
