Muller cyst is very rare. It is found in about 5% of azoosperm patients. It is a residual embryological vestige of the female genital organ in men. It is a collection developed in the residual uterine cavity of man called the prostatic utricle. [1] it is a benign lesion, most often congenital, rarely acquired. This lesion may be asymptomatic or symptomatic, and may in rare cases be associated with renal agenesis. [2] various means of treatment, treatment is compulsory for cysts that are symptomatic and / or complicated by subfertility. We report here a case of mullers cyst in a young patient treated by puncture and evacuation.

Introduction: Healthy women of reproductive age have a vaginal pH around 4.5, whereas little is known about pH in the upper genital tract. A shift in the vaginal microbiota may result in an elevated pH in the upper genital tract. This might contribute to decreased fertility and increased risk of preterm birth. Therefore, we aimed to measure pH in different compartments of the female genital tract in both nonpregnant and pregnant women, stratifying into a normal and abnormal vaginal microbiota. Material and methods: In this descriptive study, we included 6 nonpregnant, 12 early-pregnant, and 8 term-pregnant women. A pH gradient was recorded with a flexible pH probe. An abnormal vaginal microbiota was diagnosed by a quantitative polymerase chain reaction technique for Atopobium vaginae; Sneathia sanguinegens; Leptotrichia amnionii; bacterial vaginosis-associated bacterium 1, 2, 3, and TM7; and Prevotella spp. among others. Results: In all participants we found the pH gradient in the lower reproductive canal to be most acidic in the lower vagina and most alkaline in the upper uterine cavity. Women with an abnormal vaginal microbiota had an increased pH in the lower vagina compared to the other groups. Conclusions: There is a pronounced pH gradient within the female genital tract. This gradient is not disrupted in women with an abnormal vaginal microbiota.

Introduction: (1) The female genital tract is constituted by the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus (body/corpus and cervix), vagina, and vulva. Female genital tract lesions can be benign or malignant. Our study was carried out to nd out the frequency of various histopathological lesions including neoplasms of female genital tract. Materials and Methods: Our study is retrospective conducted over 2 years period. Data was collected from case records of patients presenting to Goa Medical College and histopathology reports obtained from Dept of pathology. Data was represented in form of charts and tables. The analysis of statistical data of variables was done using SPSS software version 22. Signicance was calculated using chi square test. Value of p <0.05 was considered signicant. Results: Out of total 270 subjects studied, 229 were having benign lesions and 41 had malignant lesions.The mean age was 49.5 years. Leiomyoma was diagnosed in (40.58%) cases. In abnormalities of endometrium proliferative endometrium was seen in 37.6%. Chronic cervicitis was seen 78.74% cases. Among the ovarian lesions, 67.74% cases were simple follicular cysts. Cervical cancer was found in 73.17% cases followed by ovarian malignancies in 19.51 % cases, endometrial carcinoma in 4.87% cases and vulvar cancer in 2.44% cases. Among the malignant tumors (58.54%) cases were postmenopausal women. Conclusion: Microscopic assessment and clinico-pathological correlation of lesions is necessary as grossly identiable benign lesion may harbour a focus of malignancy. It aids to appropriate management in the postoperative period. A concerted effort should be done towards prevention of cancers, by creating awareness through health education in addition to implementation of screening methods.

Toward the end of his career, Dr. George Papanicolaou became interested in human endometrial explants placed into tissue culture. The initial focus of his studies was on phagocytic cells emanating from endometrial explants and their role in cleansing the uterine cavity after each menstrual cycle and in sterilizing the uterine cavity in the face of infection. Papanicolaou also observed that growth rates of explanted normal and pathologic endometrial tissues differed considerably. Explants of endometrial malignancies exhibited not only increased growth rates but also visible proliferation of cells with readily identifiable cytologic features of malignancy. Acknowledging that cytologic screening for early diagnosis of intrauterine malignancies had up to that point not proven to be reliable as screening for cervical cancer, he hoped that the tissue culture explant technique could prove to be a new adjunctive diagnostic method for the diagnosis of endometrial and other female genital tract malignancies not readily detectible by other diagnostic procedures. Papanicolaou's untimely death in 1962 cut short his progress in this area of study.

ABSTRACT Fibroids are the commonest benign tumors of female genital tract. Though fibroids may not be a sole cause for infertility in majority of cases, but it has been seen that there is an improvement in pregnancy rates after myomectomy. Fibroids that distort the uterine cavity and large intramural fibroids are shown to be associated with adverse effects on reproductive function. Available evidence suggests that submucosal, intramural, and subserosal .broids interfere with fertility in decreasing order of importance. In infertile women and those with recurrent pregnancy loss, myomectomy should be considered only after a thorough evaluation has been completed. Medical management of fibroids has no role in treatment of fertility rather it might lead to delay in the final treatment for infertility. Preoperative medical treatment with a GnRH agonist should be considered for women who are anemic and those undergoing hysteroscopic myomectomy. Subserosal fibroids have least effect on fertility, so they do not need removal before infertility treatment. Keymessage Fibroids are important cause of infertility; Removal of submucousal fibroids is warranted before IVF. Search methodology Data were sourced from the electronic database PubMed, MEDLINE, OVID, Cochrane Database of systematic reviews and published guidelines on fibroids and infertility. Abstracts from papers and posters presented at the international meetings, published and unpublished studies, and expert opinion was considered. How to cite this article Kaur H, Rao KA.

(Abstract)It has long been known that the male and the female human genital tract contain not only organs characteristic of their sex proper, but also certain parts of the opposite sex in a less developed but yet perfectly definite form. Thus the female genital tract is made up of, not only its characteristic organs, the ovaries, tubes, uterus, etc., but also the epoophoron (parovarium) and its duct, the equivalent of the epididymis and ductus epididymis of the testis. In the same way, the human male has his characteristic sexual organs and also the appendix testis and prostatic utricle, the representatives of the fimbriated end of the Fallopian tube and of the lower end of the vaginal tract (hymen mainly, but varying).

Mullerian Anomaly

Robert’s uterus is an asymmetric septate uterus with a noncommunicating cavity and is a rare Müllerian anomaly. We present a rare case of pregnancy in a blind cavity and the first report of ipsilateral renal agenesis. A 23-year-old primigravida woman presented to our hospital at 7 weeks and 3 days of gestation after an abortion had failed. Three-dimensional ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging showed pregnancy in a blind hemi-cavity of Robert’s uterus with an ipsilateral renal anomaly. Surgery was performed by hysteroscopy with laparoscopic and ultrasound guidance. The pregnancy was removed and the asymmetric septum was resected. A single normal uterine cavity with bilateral tubal ostium remained. The treatment was considered to be satisfactory. Menstruation ceased to be painful and the uterus was not scarred. Robert’s uterus can be well evaluated by an experienced ultrasound physician and magnetic resonance imaging. Such patients may have renal agenesis and the urinary system must be simultaneously evaluated. Pregnancy in a blind hemi-cavity is extremely rare and easily ignored by gynecologists and sonographers. Timely and accurate diagnosis of this condition is essential to obtain minimally invasive treatment.

Acute urinary retention is a urological emergency presenting with a sudden inability to pass urine due to mechanical or functional reason characterized by suprapubic pain and distension requiring urgent bladder drainage. Acute urinary retention is ten times more common in males than females. Female genital mutilation comprises all surgical procedures involving partial or total removal of the female external genitalia or other injuries to the female genital organ for cultural and other non-therapeutic reasons. We present an 11 year old girl who was referred from a primary health centre with recurrent history of acute urinary retention following a female genital mutilation done 5 days prior to presentation, she was said to have been having suprapubic tapping of the urine to relive her of the retention as the health providers were unable to identify the urethral orifice for catheterization. On examination; she was in painful distress with complain of suprapubic pain and urge to pass urine, there is tender suprapubic distention, the left upper labia majora, minora and clitoris were severed, the urethral meatus distorted. Examination under anaesthesia with suprapubic cystostomy and urethral catheterisation was done and the patient was placed on sitz bath and genital toileting. We report a case of acute urinary retention in an 11 year old girl following a female genital mutilation five days earlier.
