A prospective study conducted at Lady Willingdon Hospital LHR over two years for prevalence & age distribution of ovarian cyst. According to study 85% ovarian cyst were benign, 13 % cyst were malignant while 2% were borderline malignant. The commonest histopathological type was serous cystadenoma. Only age was not the determining factor for the type of the ovarian cyst.

Background: Adnexal masses are one of the most common pathologies among women of all age groups. Ovarian tumors, alone, represent two thirds of these cases. Malignant ovarian tumors are the fourth most common cause of death in women. Accurate diagnosis is required foremost for proper treatment and management of the patients.Methods: A prospective study done on 100 patients with adnexal masses presenting to Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Kamla Raja Hospital, G.R.M.C, Gwalior from February 2015 to August 2016. Firstly, the cases were studied by ultrasonography then intraoperatively and simultaneous sampling for HPE done. The study included women with clinical symptoms of pain abdomen/ discomfort, bleeding per vaginum, abdominal mass was subjected to ultrasonography, diagnosed with adnexal mass. 100 indicated patients were taken for surgery and intraoperative tissue and fluid samples were taken and sent for HPE.Results: No discordance found regarding laterality of adnexal masses between ultrasonographical findings and surgical findings. 69% cases were devoid of any septation/locules/nodules. Most common pathology found to be ectopic pregnancy. Most common benign ovarian mass encountered was serous cystadenoma (31.1%) and malignant mass was serous adenocarcinoma (12.7%). Apart from 13 malignant adnexal masses, 2 adnexal masses had malignant changes found on histopathological examination. 11 cases were found to be of advanced stage on surgical findings, which then confirmed by HPE.Conclusions: There is positive correlation between ultrasonographical and surgerical evaluation of adnexal masses. Correlation of the lesion’s location and appearance at imaging with the surgical findings will aid in the detection of potential pathology reporting errors.

Background: The life expectancy of women shows an increase as a result of which women experience a long postmenopausal phase. Postmenopausal bleeding is a worrisome symptom occurring in 10 % of the women, making them seek a gynaecology opinion at the earliest. Women in developed countries have a predilection for developing endometrial cancer whereas cancer cervix still dominates in the developing countries. This prospective study was carried out on 75 women presenting with postmenopausal bleeding to the gynaecology clinic at a tertiary hospital set up. The study aimed to find the incidence of postmenopausal bleeding, age distribution, causes and different evaluation methods to confirm the diagnosis.Methods: The present study is a prospective study conducted on 75 postmenopausal women reporting with postmenopausal bleeding at the gynaecology clinic at a tertiary care hospital.              Results: Menopause was noted above 45 years in 84% of the patients and 16% were in 40-45 years age. Postmenopausal bleeding was observed in 50-60 years in 56% of women and 30% above 60 years. The medical problems associated were hypertension (20%), diabetes (11%), obesity (22%), hypothyroidism (4%). 53 women had benign causes while 22 had malignancy.Conclusions: Benign lesions of the genital tract are common causes of postmenopausal bleeding. Carcinoma cervix and endometrium classically present with postmenopausal bleed. Strong suspicion, thorough evaluation and early diagnosis improve the quality of life and reduce the morbidity and mortality.

This is a prospective study of 92 cases , 60 female 32 male presented with different acute abdominal conditions, evaluation of their ultrasonographic examinations had done and its accuracy rate in general was 92.3 percent. this rate reached 100 percent in certain cases as liver abscess, ovarian cyst while it is 95 percent in the diagnosis of calculus cholecystitis and 81.8 percent in the complications of appendicitis . being non invasive , safe and rapid this aid established in the investigation of certain acute abdominal disorders and nowadays routinely used in certain condition.

Ovarian cysts are frequently encountered during pregnancy due to the use of routine prenatal ultrasound. Most of them are benign but in some cases, complications can occur such as torsion, rupture and malignant change. In pregnancy risk of torsion increases 5-fold. It carries significant risk to a pregnant woman and her intrauterine foetus. Here we are reporting a 30-year-old female G3 P1+1L2 with 15 weeks of gestation who presented to antenatal OPD with complain of dull aching abdominal pain for 1 month and nausea and vomiting for 5 days. On ultrasound bilateral ovarian cysts were found, with one of the cyst with multiple septations. She underwent laparotomy, a right sided twisted ovarian cyst was found for which salpingoophrectomy was done. Left sided cyst was simple where cystectomy was done. Her histopathology report showed a bilateral benign serous cystadenoma. Her pregnancy was followed up. She delivered a healthy male baby at term. Ovarian cyst diagnosed in pregnancy can be followed up with serial ultrasound but if associated with complication such as torsion then urgent surgical intervention has to be done.

Background: Infertility is a condition which has medical as well as social impact on the state of the couple. Approximately 10-15% couples are infertile. A wide arena of tests is available for the diagnosis of the causes of infertility. The aim of present study is to correlate the findings of ultrasonography, hysterosalpingography and hysterolaparoscopy in infertility.Methods: It is a prospective study done over 2 years at INHS Asvini hospital, Mumbai. Infertile women underwent ultrasonography, hysterosalpingography and hystero-laparoscopy. Data was assessed using SPSS 17 software.Results: Of 105 patients, on ultrasonography, 22.9% had Polycystic ovaries (PCO), 2.9% had ovarian cyst, 4.8% had fibroid, 4.8% had endometrioma, 3.8% had adnexal mass, 3.8% had polyp. On hysterosalpingography, 18 (17.1%) had left and 20 (19%) had right tubal block, 11 (10.47%) had B/L tubal block, 6 (5.7%) had septate uterus, 6 (5.7%) had hydrosalpinx. On laparoscopy, 12 (11.4%) had PCO, 4 (3.8%) had ovarian cyst, 12 (11.4%) had fibroid, 7 (6.7%) had endometrioma, 19 (18.1%) had left and 18 (17.1%) had right tubal block, 12 (11.42%) had B/L tubal block, 4 (3.8%) had hydrosalpinx. On hysteroscopy, 7 (6.7%) had septate uterus, no polyp seen.On laparoscopy, 21 (20%) had endometriosis, 1 (1.9%) had bicornuate uterus.Conclusions: On comparing the results it was observed that hysterolaparoscopy gives definitive diagnosis and should be considered gold standard, though other modalities of investigation should be considered complimentary and not competing with it, as they are noninvasive.
