ObjectiveTo study knowledge regarding genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) and the treatments for it and to analyze treatment adherence during the COVID-19 confinement.MethodsMulti-center observational study including women between 35 and 75 years. An extension study of treatment adherence was conducted during the coronavirus pandemic between March and April 2020ResultsA sample of 2355 women were included. Vaginal dryness was the most frequently identified symptom (74.3%). Lubricants were the best-known treatments (69.6%), followed by local estrogens (25.7%); 66% of the women did not speak to their gynecologist about sexuality. Comparative analyses were conducted according to age, menopausal status, type of menopause, place of residence, type of health care received and level of education. During the coronavirus confinement period, adherence to treatments for vulvovaginal atrophy was poor in 72.5% asked (n=204). Reduced sexual activity (p>0.001) and coronavirus diagnosis (p=0.003) were significantly associated with poorer treatment compliance. ConclusionsThere is great lack of knowledge of the treatments used for GSM. Most women do not talk to their gynecologist about sexuality. Adherence to treatments during the coronavirus confinement has been worryingly low.
El linfoma no Hodgkin de ovario es una patología infrecuente, más aun el ovárico primario. Caso Clínico: Presentamos el caso de una paciente con antecedente de diverticulitis aguda y varios episodios posteriores de dolor abdominal agudo, fiebre y aumento de reactantes de fase aguda con pruebas de imagen no concluyentes. A pesar de la buena respuesta inicial al tratamiento antibiótico, durante uno de los episodios la paciente precisa intervención quirúrgica urgente. Durante la intervención se halla una enfermedad tumoral avanzada con diagnóstico histológico de linfoma difuso de células grandes B. Conclusión: En el diagnóstico diferencial ante una sintomatología similar a la de nuestra paciente, se debería tener presente la posibilidad de un linfoma ovárico, a pesar de su baja incidencia.
