Background: Ovarian cyst is a common problem in females of reproductive age group. Objective: To compare the expectant management and use of oral contraceptives for the management of ovarian cysts. Methodology: This was a comparative study, conducted in the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Sheikh Zayed Medical College, Rahim Yar Khan, from January 2017 to December 2018. A total of 870 females were included through non-probability, purposive sampling. Informed verbal consent was obtained. Ultrasound was performed to measure the cyst size, site, and characteristics. The lottery method was used to divide the patients into two groups. Patients in group E received expectant treatment (placebo) and in group OC, patients were prescribed hormonal treatment with combined oral contraceptive (COCP) having ethinyl estradiol 0.03mg and levonorgestril 0.15mg. Then patients were counseled and followed up for one month. After one month, USG was performed again to measure success as cyst resolution. The collected data was analyzed into SPSS 16. Both groups were compared for success by using the chi-square test, taking p-value <0.05 as significant. Results: Mean age of females was 26.42±7.59 years. There were 488 (56%) married females while 382 (44%) were unmarried. Mean cyst size was 3.93±1.28cm. was achieved in 605 (69.5%) females, out of which 259 (59.5%) had expectant management while 346 (79.5%) had oral contraception. Success (Cyst resolution) was achieved in 605 (69.5%) females, out of which 259 (59.5%) had expectant management while 346 (79.5%) had oral contraception. (p=0.00).

Cervical cancer is a malignant disease that remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality among women in the world. In Indonesia, only 5% of women of reproductive age screen for cervical cancer. 76.6% of cervical cancer patients are detected with the disease when they entered the advanced stage. Early detection of cervical cancer is the key intervention in the reduction of incidence and mortality of cervical cancer. Other studies reported that the awareness of women of reproductive age to do cervical cancer screening is still very low due to a lack of knowledge about cervical cancer. This study aimed to determine the correlation of knowledge and participation in early detection of cervical cancer in women in reproductive age. This study used an analytical survey with a cross-sectional approach. The sampling technique used incidental sampling with a total of 36 women in reproductive age. Data analysis used Chi-Square test. Statistical results showed that there was a significant correlation between knowledge of women in reproductive age about cervical cancer and participation in early detection of cervical cancer, which is p value = 0.020 ( 0.05) and coefficient of contingency (r) = 0.423. The level of closeness of the correlation is medium. Therefore, there is a need for tailored services that could improve knowledge of women in reproductive age about cervical cancer to improve participation with a view to preventing cervical cancer by early detection.

Background: Fetal ovarian cysts are the most frequently diagnosed intra-abdominal cysts; however, the evidence for perinatal management remains controversial. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed cases of fetal ovarian cysts diagnosed by prenatal ultrasonography at our institution between January 2010 and January 2020. The following were investigated: gestational age at diagnosis, cyst size, appearance, prenatal ultrasound findings, and postnatal outcomes. Prior to 2018, expectant management was applied in all cases; after 2018, in utero aspiration (IUA) of simple cysts ≥ 40 mm was performed. Results: We diagnosed 29 and seven simple and complex cysts, respectively. Fourteen patients had simple cysts with a maximum diameter < 40 mm, and two of them progressed to complex cysts during follow-up; however, when the diameter was limited to < 35 mm, no cases showed progression to complex cyst. Fifteen of the simple cysts were ≥ 40 mm; three progressed to complex cysts, and two of them were confirmed to be ovarian necrosis. In four patients who underwent IUA, the ovaries could be preserved. Conclusions: IUA is a promising therapy for preserving ovaries with simple cysts ≥ 40 mm in diameter; however, the indications for fetal surgery and the appropriate timing of intervention require further study.

Postpartum hemorrhage constitutes 73% of all the obstetric hemorrhage globally. Thirty-four percent of maternal deaths occurring in Kenya are due to postpartum hemorrhage. In Homa Bay County, postpartum hemorrhage is the leading cause of maternal mortality contributing 38% of all maternal deaths despite several strategies by the ministry of health to reduce occurrence. Previous studies attribute this to poor provision and utilization of essential health services. The possible contextual contribution of health systems determinants of occurrence of postpartum hemorrhage has not been explored in the County. The objective of this study was to establish the health systems determinants of occurrence of postpartum hemorrhage among women of reproductive age 15-49 years in Homa Bay County. The specific objectives were: to identify the quality of health service delivery determinants, and: to describe the human resource for health determinants. This was a cross-sectional study design in which qualitative and quantitative methods were used. The quality health service delivery determinants found statistically significant was level of attention with Pearson chi-square = 5.2872 (P-value = 0.021), while the human resource for health determinants were: change of work stations with Pearson chi-square 6.929 (P-value = 0.008), and increased number of health workers with Pearson chi2(1) = 4.1205 (P-value = 0.042) and skills. The findings have significant importance in constructing and reviewing programs for women of reproductive age focusing on quality service delivery on level of attention, human resource for health change of station, increased number, and skills.
