Total body water (TBW) was measured early and late in a menstrual cycle in 56 women, 39 of whom had breast pain. The remainder were asymptomatic controls. Most women did not conform to the traditional view that there is a premenstrual increase in TBW. In some TBW decreased, while in others there was no change from the early cycle measurement. No TBW pattern correlated with any syndromes of breast pain or with any psychoneurotic profile.

Ovarian cancer is rarely diagnosed during assisted reproduction. Several case-control and cohort studies have described its incidence within the infertile population well after the assisted reproductive process. We present a case of endometrioid adenocarcinoma that developed during the ovarian stimulation process and show corresponding ultrasound images of its development.

Arrested caudal extension of the fused Müllerian ducts, either complete or segmental, causes obstruction of the outflow tract. We describe a case of agenesis of the uterine isthmus and the procedure to establish the continuity of the outflow tract. A 15-year-old girl with cyclic pelvic pain and amenorrhea was found to have a 3-cm gap between the uterine body and the cervix. After cervico-uterine anastomosis via laparotomy she menstruated normally and was pain-free. Selected cases of arrested Müllerian duct extension can be corrected by primary anastomosis, which establishes anatomical continuity and restores menstruation and, possibly, future fertility.
