Menstruation is purely a natural process occurring in a woman’s body each month. It is the visible manifestation of cyclic uterine bleeding due to shedding of endometrium. Endometriosis is a common health problem for women. It is the occurrence of benign ectopic endometrial tissues outside the uterus. Ovarian endometrioma is the most common form of endometriosis. It increases the risk of ovarian cancer in reproductive age group among woman. Although most of the endometriomas are benign, some of them may undergo malignant changes. This is the case report of a 38 year old lady who presented with increased menstrual bleeding with excessive clots, dysmenorrhoea, burning micturition, and dyspareunia. On USG she was detected to have bilateral hydrosalpinx and ovarian endometrioma. Based on the clinical features presented by the patient amapachana, kaphapittasamana and vataanulomana mode of management was given. After six months of internal medications symptoms reduced considerably and there was no endometrial cysts and features of hydrosalpinx in USG.

Abstract Objective: To examine the factors associated with cesarean section among early child bearing women in Nepal.Results: Out of 4006 women of reproductive age group from 1996 to 2016, more than 50% had early pregnancy. The population-based cesarean section (CS) rate was about 10% [95% confidence interval: (8.9-11.6)]. Our logistic regression model showed that women with early child bearing had 32% (p-value <0.05, 95% confidence interval: 0.50- 0.94) less chance of having CS than women of age group 19-29 years. It was also evident that poorest women of same age group had 66% less likelihood of having CS than the richest (p-value: <0.05, 95% confidence interval: 0.29-0.99). Similarly, women from province-1, province-3 and province-4, having complete four antenatal check-ups and delivering in a private institution were associated with CS among early child bearers.

19660 Background: Many women in the reproductive age group are diagnosed with cancer. Reproductive health issues remain an important concern in caring for these women. Based on a case series in our institution and a review of the literature, we found a paucity of literature and clinical acumen regarding reproductive health issues. The purpose of this study was to pilot a survey instrument to develop descriptive data on the reproductive goals of reproductive aged women (15–44yrs) presenting with cancer. Methods: A cross- sectional pilot survey study of 20 selected women diagnosed with various types of cancers presenting to Hematology-Oncology clinic of John.H.Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County, Chicago, from January through July 2006. A survey instrument was developed and performed a reproductive health assessment. Patients were interviewed about their obstetric/menstrual history, contraceptive motivations and choices as well as future child bearing options. Results: Of the 20 patients with mean age of 36.6 years who were surveyed, 90 % had breast cancer. Child bearing was completed by 50%, 45% desired future childbearing, 5% were unsure. Contraception was used by 55 %( n=11) of patients out of which 55 %(n=6) were using abstinence, 45% denied the use of any contraception. Amongst the patients who received chemotherapy with radiation and chemotherapy without radiation, 75% and 72.7% respectively continued to menstruate. Ten percent would continue pregnancy, if they become pregnant while on treatment. Conclusions: The result of this pilot study demonstrates some insight into the reproductive health needs and concerns of women diagnosed with cancer. A reproductive health assessment should be performed on all cancer patients who are in the reproductive age group. We plan a large prospective study providing a larger database that may aid in developing treatment plan. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Background: Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is the second leading cause of bacterial infection worldwide. More female are affected compared to male, particularly in their reproductive age group. Untreated and repeated UTI cases lead to health complication and antimicrobial resistance. Objective: To know the proportion of UTI among women in child bearing age group in Rajshahi and also to know the influence of socio-demographic parameters on UTI incidence in this region. Methodology: A cross sectional descriptive study was conducted on women in their reproductive age group (15-45 years) in Institute of Biological Sciences (IBSc), Rajshahi University and Rajshahi Medical College (RMC) from July 2014 to June 2017 where mid-stream urine samples were collected and cultured following all standard procedure. Positive cultures were compared with sociodemographic parameters to know their association with UTI cases. Result: Out of Total 450 patients screened for UTI, 151 (33.55%) were culture positive. Married women showed the highest rate of UTI 95 (62.91%) compared to single and widowed/divorced women which was 49 (32.4%) and 7(4.6%) respectively. Pregnancy and diabetes showed greater incidence or association with UTI which was 116 (76.8%) and 93 (61.59%) respectively. In all cases combined, symptomatic UTI was much higher than asymptomatic bacteriuria 54 (35.7%). Good hygiene and cleanliness associated with use of sanitary napkins and latrines have greatly reduced UTI rates among women which were 31 (20.5%) and 27 (17.8%) respectively. Conclusion: UTI has a high rate among women in their childbearing age, particularly when associated with pregnancy and diabetes. Good personal hygiene and awareness can greatly reduce its incidence and prevent further complications and most importantly antimicrobial resistance.

Background. Iodine deficiency disorder is a major public health problem in Ethiopia that is more common in women of reproductive age. However, it is not well addressed and there is a lack of information on its prevalence and associated factors in women of reproductive age group. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess goiter prevalence and associated factors among women of reproductive age in the Demba Gofa woreda, Gamo Gofa Zone, Southwest Ethiopia. Methods. A community-based cross-sectional study was used among 584 randomly selected women in the reproductive age group from February 05 to April 20, 2016. A simple random sampling technique was used to select the study kebeles, and a systematic random sampling technique was used to select the study samples. Data were collected through a pretested questionnaire, and the goiter examination was done clinically for each participant. The collected data were coded and entered into a computer for statistical analysis using EpiData version 3.2 and analyzed using SPSS version 20. Variables with a P value ≤0.25 in bivariate logistic regression analysis were entered into multivariate logistic regression analysis, and finally, variables with a P value <0.05 in multivariate logistic regression were considered significantly associated with the dependent variable. Results. The total goiter rate was 43%, 95% CI = 39.2–46.9. Cassava consumption (AOR: 2.02, 95% CI: 1.03–4), salt wash before use (AOR: 3.14, 95% CI: 1.1–11.3), salt use after >2 months of purchase (AOR: 11, 95% CI: 5–26), family history of goiter (AOR: 4.6, 95% CI: 1.4–15.8), and poor knowledge of iodized salt (AOR: 2.7, 95% CI: 1.4–5.5) were significant factors associated with goiter. Conclusion. Iodine deficiency was found to be severe in women of reproductive age in the study area. This showed that women of reproductive age, especially during pregnancy, are exposed to iodine deficiency and its adverse effects at delivery. Thus, they need urgent supplementation with iodine, improved access to foods rich in iodine, and intake of iodized salt. Additionally, health education should focus on the importance of iodized salt, the proper method of use, and the prevention of iodine deficiency, which are highly recommended to minimize the problem.
