<p>Vaginal discharge or fluor albus is a problem that is often found in women. Daily use of panty liner is a predisposing factor of pathological/abnormal vaginal discharge. This paper reviews the correlation between the use of panty liner and vaginal discharge. The aims of this study were to analyze the effect of daily panty liner use as a risk factor of vaginal discharge. This research is done by using the cross-sectional method. The study population is students of the University of Pelita Harapan in the Faculty of Nursery. Sample size calculation was done using the categorical comparative analytical formula and a result of 46 samples were obtained for each population. A questionnaire was used in this research. Statistical analysis is done by using the SPSS 22.0 program with the Chi-Square method. Bivariate analysis on 92 respondents revealed that there is a significant association between the usage of a panty liner and abnormal vaginal discharge (p-value <0.05). Based on bivariate analysis panty liner material is not related to abnormal vaginal discharge (p-value >0.05).</p>
<p>Background: Hydatidiform mole or commonly known as molar pregnancy is one of the gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) caused by an abnormal trophoblast proliferation. About 50% of gestational trophoblast neoplasm (GTN) arises from molar pregnancy. Higher risk of GTN was found in older patient, especially women age ≥40 years old. Management of hydatidiform mole is often faced come challenges, especially in developing country like Indonesia. Although, suction curettage is the most recommended treatment for the evacuation of molar pregnancy, hysterectomy is considerable for women who have completed childbirth and do not wish to preserve their fertility.<br />Case: Here we present case of 48 years old women with hydatidiform mole. Considering the age of the patient and the completion of her childbearing, we decided to do a laparotomy total abdominal hysterectomy for the evacuation of the mole instead of suction curettage. Turned out that this patient had an invasive mole, one of the types of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia.<br />Conclusion: Although suction curettage is the most frequent technique for molar evacuation, hysterectomy is a reasonable option as primary treatment to be performed in older patients and for those who do not wish to preserve their fertility. The other important points such as socio-economic status, education level, and geographical issues should be considered also on managing older patients with hydatidiform mole in developing countries</p>
<p>Intra-Uterine Fetal Demise (IUFD) is defined as death of human conception at age of 20 weeks’ gestation or older or with a minimum 500-g birthweight before complete delivery from the mother and induced termination involved. In 2015, Indonesia has contributed a stillbirth rate of 13 out of 1,000 total births in which 17.1% of the cases were caused by congenital anomalies. Fetal Hydrops as a pathological condition in which there is an accumulation of fluid in fetal soft tissues and serous cavities. With the advancements of sonographic technology, identification of fetal hydrops has become uncomplicated. However, what remains a challenge is to investigate etiology and determine management. In order to plan proper management, the etiology of fetal hydrops must first be determined to predict the prognosis of fetal hydrops. In Indonesia; limited facilities and experts combined with high costs in etiology determination and management have complicated the matter. Furthermore, the strong influence of several Eastern communities’ norms and religious views have further complicated both physicians and patients in decision making. In this report, we present a case of late intra-uterine fetal demise with fetal hydrops, whom was admitted on her 35 weeks age gestation. We performed elective Caesarean Section in order to deliver the stillborn fetus, with no significant post-operative complication. Unfortunately, this condition was actually diagnosed earlier during 20<sup>th</sup> weeks of gestation, hence advised to continue the pregnancy without further evaluation and information to the mother regarding the hydrops condition.</p>
<p><em>The presence of placenta previa may be associated with placenta accreta</em><em><sup>[1]</sup></em><em>.<sup> </sup></em><em>Maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality from placenta previa accreta are considerable and are associated with high demands on health resources. With the rising incidence of caesarean sections combined with increasing maternal age, the number of cases of placenta praevia and its complications, including placenta accreta, will continue to increase</em><em><sup>[2]</sup></em><em>. </em><em>Here, we present a case of placenta previa totalis percreta in previous cesarean section twice. In this case, patient with placenta previa totalis-percreta we diagnosed and prepared proper management with the involvement of multidisciplinary team. We reduced blood loss by performing total abdominal hysterectomy immediately after delivered the baby and the postoperative course was uneventful.</em></p><p><strong><em>Keywords: Cesarean Section-Hysterectomy, placenta accreta, placenta percreta, placenta previa</em></strong></p>
