Endometriosis is the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. Endometriosis affects 10-15% of all women in reproductive age group and 70% of the women with chronic pelvic pain. The risk of malignant transformation in an endometrioma has been reported to be low, though there is an increased risk for certain gynecological as well as non-gynecological carcinomas with endometriosis. We present a case diagnosed as having endometrioma transforming into a malignant tumor in a young female. We intend to emphasize that all the clinicians should make their patients aware of the malignant potential of endometriosis and a strict follow up of all cases being treated conservatively should be a must.

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.

Endometriosis is a gynecological condition recognized by the existence of ectopic endometrial tissue outside the uterus. It is predominantly present in females of reproductive age group and is one of the main causes of infertility. Even with a predictable prevalence of 11% in females and considerable historical explanations adopted from the seventeenth century, the diagnosis of endometriosis still remains doubtful. The conventional concepts on histological basis of endometriosis are explained by a number of theories. Medical signs of endometriosis contain prolonged pelvic ache, dyspareunia, repeated menstrual discomfort and chronic pelvic pain which can severely affect the excellence of life and health of the patient. In this review we will discuss the prevalent theories for the diagnosis of endometriosis and suggestions to identify the condition well in time for better control and management

<p><strong>Objective</strong>: This interventional study has undertaken to assess the gonadal function of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) patients within reproductive age group following single dose of radioactive iodine (131I) therapy/ablation.</p><p><strong>Patients and Methods:<em> </em></strong>A total of 69 patients (25 male and 44 female) of DTC were included in this study, those were referred for 131I ablation after total thyroidectomy. Following RAI, these patients were followed-up three times at three months interval.  The usual I-131 dose was 75 or 100 m Ci for ablation of thyroid residues and 150 mCi for treatment of nodal metastasis. All the patients were interviewed about menstrual (female only) and reproductive history and investigated of the level of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), testosterone of male patients and FSH, LH, estradiol (E<sub>2</sub>) of female patients before administration of  131I and three, six and nine months after therapy.</p><p><strong>Result</strong>: In this study all of the 25 (100.0%) male patients showed high FSH level after three months of therapy. The mean± SD FSH level of male patients was found significantly (p-0.001) higher (15.59±7.53 IU/L) after three months of therapy than the pretherapy (4.85±2.57 IU/L) level.  The mean± SD of FSH level was significantly declining in six months and nine months of follow up. The mean± SD of LH hormone level of these patients was found 6.1±3.67 IU/L in pretherapy which was significantly increased to 7.67±4.33 IU/L after three months. The mean LH level was 7.20±3.98 IU/L at six months follow up and 7.3±3.5IU/L after nine months. The differences of LH level between 3 months to 6 months and 6 months to 9 months are not statistically significant. No significant change was observed in testosterone level throughout the study period. In female, five patients developed irregular menstruation (changed duration of cycle or lighter amount), three patients developed amenorrhea associated with hot flashes within six months of 131I administration. Biochemical study of the patients with amenorrhoea showed markedly elevated serum FSH, LH level and declined E<sub>2 </sub>level. The FSH, LH levels of the two patients with amenorrhea became normal within study period and one patient had persistent amenorrhea at 9 months. E<sub>2</sub> level raised slowly.</p><p><strong>Conclusion</strong>: A single dose of radio-iodine (131I) therapy causes impairment of gonadal function of male patients within reproductive age group. In case of female patients the effect is insignificant. The effect is usually reversible and gonadal function of the patients restores within the study period.</p><p>Bangladesh J.

Introduction: Knowledge of pelvic inflammatory disease and its epidemiology is essential to understand reproductive morbidity in women. This paper estimates the level of association between demographic factors and pelvic inflammatory disease in women in their reproductive age. Methods: A descriptive study done in Humla, Kritipur and Baudha by organizing a health camp. Women of reproductive age group and who have lower abdominal pain, pervaginal discharge, fever, and dysparunia were included in the study after taking informed verbal consent from the patient. Patients who have lower abdominal pain and pervaginal discharge were diagnosed as pelvic inflammatory disease. Results: Diagnoses of pelvic inflammatory disease were made in 30% of attendances amongst women aged between 16 to 48. Increased risk of pelvic inflammatory disease was associated with smoking (P<0.0001), age groups 31 – 40 yrs (44.6%),in rural areas(45%) and people who are illiterate (P<0.0001). Among 400, 383(95%) were reported ever using a modern contraceptive. Conclusion: The prevalence of pelvic inflammatory disease was 30% in reproductive age group and was significantly associated with smoking.doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/mjsbh.v13i1.12992

Introduction: Rapidly increased global prevalence of overweight and obesity has also affected women of reproductive age group. Pregnant women who are obese at booking have an increased risk for complications, both for themselves and their babies during pregnancy and childbirth. Women who are obese are at risk for gestational diabetes, miscarriage, preeclampsia, increased incidence of cesarean section, anesthetic complication, postpartum hemorrhage, thromboembolism, perineal trauma, and wound infection. There is an increased risk of stillbirth, congenital anomalies, prematurity, macrosomia, poor APGAR scores, and neonatal death in babies of obese mothers. This study investigated the effect of Maternal BMI on the mode of delivery and perinatal outcome. Methods: This is a prospective cohort study of 100 primigravidas of the reproductive age group done at Shivpuri District Hospital over a period of a year. We categorized them on the basis of their BMI at booking and studied the mode of delivery and perinatal outcome. Results: Elective cesarean and emergency cesarean were more common with obese women whereas most of the normal weighted and underweight women underwent spontaneous labor and induced labor. Maternal and fetal complications were more pronounced in the overweight and obese groups. Babies also had an increased risk of poor APGAR scores with the increasing BMI of the mother. Conclusion: Input of skilled birth attendants is essential to improve intrapartum outcomes. Obstetricians need to be acutely aware that obese patients form a high-risk population with an increased incidence of cesarean section, postpartum hemorrhage, and perineal trauma.

Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumors in women in the reproductive age group. The incidence of fibroids during pregnancy varies between 1.6 and 10.7%. In 10% of these cases, fibroids lead to complications. The management in symptomatic patients is conservative, and the surgical treatment is delayed until after birth due to its risks. In the last two decades, it has been shown that myomectomy can be an alternative treatment in selected cases, especially in second-trimester pregnancies. However, the data on the success of myomectomies performed earlier in pregnancy are limited. In this case report, we present two cases who were admitted to our clinic during the first trimester of pregnancy and had complicated fibroids. The diagnosis, the follow up and the treatment are presented with the review of the literature.

ABSTRACT Background Various prognostic factors in assisted reproduction procedures have been described and analyzed which includes woman's age, cause of infertility, ovarian response and uterine receptivity, the semen quality, and the body mass index (BMI). Optimal BMI is required for an optimal response. There is controversy among various reports, which is partly caused by the varying focus of investigators and differences in study designs, which led us to examine the relationship between BMI, in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) outcome in our unit. Objective To study impact of BMI on IVF outcome prospectively Materials and methods It is a prospective study over a period of 1 year in the age group 25 to 35 years attending the IVF clinic was conducted at a tertiary infertility center in Bangalore, India between November 2010 and October 2011. Results There is a close association of increased BMl in particular when BMl is > 30 kg/m2 and the reduced outcomes of IVF/ ICSI treatment in the form of decreased clinical pregnancy and higher early pregnancy loss. Furthermore, increased BMl is related to higher dosage and duration of gonadotropins requirement increased risk of cancellation and fewer collected oocytes. Conclusion Obesity is associated with an increased risk of early pregnancy loss. Also need of high dose of gonadotropin, less number of collected oocytes is observed. Implantation rate, pregnancy rate and miscarriage rate was comparable but live births are high in normal weight and overweight as compared to extremes of BMI. So will be appropriate to recommend life style modifications including weight loss to achieve an appropriate BMI prior to IVF. How to cite this article Sharma R.

Background: Menstruation is described as the exclusive sign of femininity. The age of menarche is determined by general health, genetic, socio-economic, nutritional factors, geographic location, exposure to light and psychological state. Objective of current study was to determine the magnitude of menstrual problem among young females of age group17-25 years of medical and paramedical college. Methods: The present study has been conducted on 300 young female students studying in the department of obstetrics and gynaecology in collaboration with paramedical and nursing college, RIMS and R. Saifai, Etawah over a period of 18 months January 2015 to July 2016, with an objective to determine the magnitude of menstrual problem among on young female students of age group 17-25 years.Results: Mean age of the study population was 21.98 years. The mean age of menarche was found to be 13.50 years with standard deviation of 1.315. This was also in accordance with the results of previous studies. The average duration of menstrual blood loss was found to be 4.28 days with standard deviation of 1.092. The average duration of normal blood flow for reproductive age group as estimated is 2-5 days. The mean of menstrual cycle length came out to be 29.79 days with a standard deviation of 4.87. The average amount of blood loss during each menstrual cycle was found to be 65.39 ml with a standard deviation of 11.81. Conclusions: It was concluded that the mean age of menarche was found to be 13.50 years with standard deviation of 1.315. The average duration of normal blood flow for reproductive age group as estimated is 2-5 days.

Introduction: Leiomyomas are benign mesenchymal tumours of smooth muscle origin. They are the most common uterine masses in women of reproductive age group and may be related to the hormonal status. Urethral leiomyomas are very rare. According to the literature, the mean diameter of the urethral leiomyomas is 3.7 cm. Case report: We report a case of a very large leiomyoma of the urethra. A 40-year-old women woman was admitted to our department for a giant vaginal mass. She complained of haematuria, dysuria, recurrent urinary tract infections and dyspareunia. The physical evaluation demonstrated a 6 × 5.5 cm neoformation involving the distal tract of the urethra. The patient underwent an ultrasonography and then a magnetic resonance that suggested the diagnosis of leiomyoma. The neoformation was excised through a suburethral incision. Conclusions: The patient was discharged after 3 days and no intraoperative and postoperative complications occurred. The Foley catheter was removed after a week. The patient was continent to urine, and at 6 months follow-up, the patient was symptom free and no recurrences occurred.
