Aim: To evaluate maternal and fetal outcomes in women with placenta previa. Methods: A hospital based retrospective clinical study carried out Obstetrics Gynaecology from 2013 August 2019. Results: The incidence of placenta previa was found to be 0.48%. Maximum patients were referred within the age group of 25-35 years and were multigravida. Mean gestational age at delivery was between 34-36 weeks. Mode of delivery was caesarean section in almost all cases (97.4%). Outcome was studied by need of blood transfusion in 43.6%, postpartum haemorrhage in 43.6%, adherent placenta previa in 20.5%, hysterectomy in 15.4%, ICU admission in 15.4% and no significant effect on perinatal outcome. Conclusion: Incidence of placenta previa is high in patients with previous cesarean section and multiparous women. There is a need for comprehensive obstetrics care to appropriately treat placenta previa and its complications.","PeriodicalId":376391,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Gynecology and Womens Health","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124295381","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}

This review aims to explore the reasons that cervical cancer prevention services are underutilized within the region. A search of PubMed and Cochrane databases, and Google Scholar was done to identify relevant articles. Results showed that a lack of awareness and the resulting misconceptions about cervical cancer and its prevention; low literacy levels; fear of the procedure; and a negative diagnosis were factors that influenced use of prevention services in the Caribbean. Additionally, social factors such as stigma attached to HPV and cancer, physician-related barriers such as communication style and gender, and the health system defects were prominent contributors to the problem. Widespread and aggressive education beginning at the secondary school level; open discussion of cancer-related topics to dispel stigma; reconsidering materials used for dissemination of information; and addressing physician related barriers through use of female chaperons are some of the ways to improve utilization of services. These interventions can increase cervical cancer prevention programs’ effectiveness and women’s participation in the Caribbean, thus reducing the incidence and mortality from cervical cancer in the region.","PeriodicalId":376391,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Gynecology and Womens Health","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128530637","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}

However, self-examination of women is extremely important after menstruation when there are less physiological “bumps” than during the cycle. It is very important that women know their breasts well so that they can notice when something new appears in them. Depending on age and anamnesis, it is extremely important to go for a mammogram and compare images and perform comparative ultrasound examinations.

Jiang","doi":"10.19080/jgwh.2021.21.556067","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.19080/jgwh.2021.21.556067","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction: Polycystic ovary syndrome is a disease from which recent reports show one in five women of reproductive age suffer. The author distinguishes between polycystic ovaries (PCO) as a preclinical condition, or a gentle stage which manifests as prolonged menstrual cycles, even amenorrhea at times, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a typical disease which manifests as a sexual hormonal disorder. Both PCO and PCOS are becoming more widespread and have become common causes of infertility. Most cases manifest as PCO in varied degrees, severe cases of PCOS being less common. Using the TCM diagnostic approach, the author identifies three patterns in PCO and PCOS: Qi deficiency of spleen and kidney, with accumulation of fluid and stasis of blood; Kidney Yang deficiency and accumulation of fluid and phlegm; Liver Qi stagnation and blood stasis. She proposes an effective treatment for each pattern, according to the TCM clinical approach, combining acupuncture with Chinese herbal medicine, which leads to the successful regulation of the menstrual cycle and assisted pregnancies. Treatment methods and typical cases treated in UK have been summarized and reported. Conclusion: Using diagnostic references from Conventional Western Medicine (CWM) can raise the efficacy of TCM methods. The advantage of TCM lies in the treatment of the preclinical state or gentle stage of a serious disease, thus preventing it from progressing to severe stage of the disease. This combined approach has resulted in many patients regaining regular menstrual cycles and subsequently successfully conceiving and giving birth.","PeriodicalId":376391,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Gynecology and Womens Health","volume":"207 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131462288","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}
