One hundred and fifty-five patients, who had an ultrasonographic diagnosis of endometrioma measuring ³3 cm and underwent surgical excision due to subfertility were the candidates for this study. The exclusion criteria were a) previous ovarian cystectomy, b) removal of one ovary, c) irregular menstrual cycle, d) polycystic ovarian syndrome e) endocrine disorder, f) low AMH (<1ng/ml), g) history of taking medication for endometriosis that could affect ovarian function, e.g., GnRH analogues or oral contraceptives during the 6 months preceding scheduled surgery. To investigate the effect of surgery on ovarian reserve, their FSH, E2 and AMH were measured before and after surgery. Tests were done before surgery and repeated after 3 months and 6 months of surgery. A value of < 0.05 was considered significant. \u0000Results: Mean age of the patients was 31.72 ±2.77 years. The baseline FSH, E2 and AMH were within normal limit. In 63.88% of the cases the cysts were unilateral and 83.22% of the cases the size of the cysts were within 10 cm. To assess the change of ovarian reserve FSH, E2 and AMH were measured in 3 and 6 months after surgery. There was marked declining of AMH level from baseline to both 3 months and 6 months after surgery p is <0.0001. There was no significant change of FSH and AMH between 3 months and 6 months after surgery. \u0000Conclusion: Cystectomy in ovarian endometrioma significantly reduces ovarian reserve, which is menifested by reduced level of AMH. \u0000Bangladesh J Obstet Gynaecol, 2020; Vol. 35(2): 96-101","PeriodicalId":337805,"journal":{"name":"Bangladesh Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130764234","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Now a days Fertility preservation is an important issue because of the constant shifting of childbearing age towards higher ages. The increasing incidence of epithelial ovarian cancer in women with active childbearing potential constitutes a therapeutic dilemma.

Established organ-preserving techniques in early stage epithelial ovarian cancer includes preservation of the contralateral ovary and uterus. \u0000Aim: To report the case of a Epithelial Ovarian Cancer, who had conservative surgery followed by chemotherapy with a good fertility outcome. \u0000Case presentation: A 31-year-old nulliparous woman with a right sided ovarian mucinous cystadenocarcinoma was treated by right adnexectomy and omentectomy followed by chemotherapy.

Low Bone Mineral Density (BMD) is a major risk factor for osteoporosis and fragility fractures. Bone loss is accelerated following cessation of ovarian function and menstruation. Menopause is accompanied by estrogen deficiency and associated with bone loss. Generally accepted risk factors for osteoporosis in women are low BMI, age and duration of menopause. The effect of parity is controversial. So the aim of this cross-sectional observational study was to assess effect of parity on BMD. For this purpose total 100 women aged 50-70 years with parity three or more who had natural menopause were studied over the period of one year. All these women underwent measurement of Bone Mineral Density (BMD) at Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH). Among 100 women 64 were para three to five, 30 were para 6-8 and only six were 9-11 para. BMD of L1-4 and total femur measured among para 3-5 women were (.938±.172,.855±.161) and it was (.851±.170,.769±.155) with para six to eight and (.765±.169, .656±.258) with para 9-11 respectively. ANOVA was done within and between groups, F = 3.996/4.959 ( P = .021/ .009). Negative correlation was found between parity and BMD of L1-4 and total Femur. This negative correlation was statistically significant. It can be concluded that with increasing parity BMD decreases. \u0000Bangladesh J Obstet Gynaecol, 2020; Vol. 35(1): 15-19","PeriodicalId":337805,"journal":{"name":"Bangladesh Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129042640","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of diagnostic curettage in perimenopausal women with abnormal uterine bleeding is to detect endometrial abnormality. \u0000Methods: It was a hospital based cross-sectional study among fifty patients of 45 to 60 years old with history of perimenopausal bleeding, attending the inpatient and outpatient department of Sir Salimullah Medical College and Mitford Hospital, Dhaka.

The women were evaluated by clinical history, examination, transvaginal sonogram and for endocrine and metabolic parameters. The women were divided into 5 groups according to their menstrual phenotypes: i) cycle length 21-35 days ii) oligomenorrhoea or cycle length > 35 days but less than 6 months iii) secondary amenorrhoea or cycle length ³6 months iv) polymenorrhoea or cycle length <21 days v) oligomenorrhoea alternating with polymenorrhea.
