Cervical incompetence is characterized by painless dilatation of the incompetent cervix and results in miscarriages and preterm delivery during second trimester. Cervical incompetence occurs in 0.5% to 1% of all pregnancies and has a recurrence risk of 30%. Patients typically present with cervical dilatation in the absence of uterine activity after first trimester usually. Cervical cerclage can be placed via transvaginal, open -transabdominal, or laparoscopic transabdominal approach, preferably before pregnancy. A laparoscopic approach is superior to the transabdominal approach in terms of surgical outcomes, cost, and postoperative morbidity. A laparoscopic approach to cervical cerclage placement is a potentially effective adjunct to the treatment of women at high risk of recurrent preterm birth.

Laparoscopic Sling Procedures

The uterus, or womb, is a muscular structure that's held in place by pelvic muscles and ligaments.If these muscles or ligaments stretch or become weak, they're no longer able to support the uterus, causing prolapse. Uterine prolapse occurs when the uterus sags or slips from its normal position and into the vagina, or birth canal. Uterine prolapse may be incomplete or complete. An incomplete prolapse occurs when the uterus is only partly sagging into the vagina. A complete prolapse describes a situation in which the uterus falls so far down that some tissue rests outside of the vagina. What is vaginal vault? The vaginal vault is the expanded region of the vaginal canal at the internal end of the vagina. The vaginal vault may prolapse after a hysterectomy, as there is no uterus supporting the interior end of the vagina. The incidence of vaginal vault prolapse is approximately 15% after hysterectomy due to uterine prolapse, and approximately 1% after hysterectomy due to oth

A uterine septum is a form of a congenital malformation where the uterine cavity is partitioned by a longitudinal septum; the outside of the uterus has a normal typical shape. The wedge-like partition may involve only the superior part of the cavity resulting in an incomplete septum or a subseptate uterus, or less frequently the total length of the cavity (complete septum) and the cervix resulting in a double cervix. The septation may also continue caudally into the vagina resulting in a double vagina. WHAT COULD BE THE SYMPTOMS? The condition may/maynot result in infertility,thus normal pregnancies may occur.[2] However, it is associated with a higher risk for mi

Hysteroscopic Tubal Cannulation

Image
The uterine tube (fallopian tube) carries an egg from the ovary to the uterus. Unless a biological abnormality, surgery, or ectopic pregnancy caused the loss of one tube, women should have two uterine tubes in their bodies. Fallopian tube obstruction is a major cause of female infertility. Blocked fallopian tubes are unable to let the ovum and the sperm fuse, thus making fertilization impossible. The fallopian tubes can sometimes become blocked or even damaged due to certain conditions that a woman may suffer from. In rare cases, the blockage to the fallopian tubes may have been present since birth as a birth defect, but has gone undetected until the woman reached adulthood and tried to conceive What are the reasons Proximal tubal occlusion? This can occur after infection such as complications from abortion, missed miscarriage, cesarean section or PID. Permanent birth control procedures like Essure block the isthmus.

PCOD OR PCOS Medications

Image
WHAT ARE Lifestyle MODIFICATIONS ? One of the best treatments for PCOS is a healthy lifestyle. A healthy diet, low in refined carbohydrates, is important, as this can help regulate blood sugar levels. Exercise can also help the body regulate insulin and keep excess weight off. Losing weight is challenging with PCOS, but doing so can help reduce the male hormone levels in the body, and some women will begin to ovulate naturally. With a proper diagnosis, lifestyle changes, and PCOS treatment, women can get relief from this condition and the overwhelming health problems it can cause.
