Background: In women of reproductive age, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent endocrine condition. Menstrual irregularities (oligomenorrhea or amenorrhea), hirsutism, persistent acne, androgen-dependent alopecia, abdominal obesity, hypertension, and infertility are all clinical signs of PCOS.Objective: To assess the success of pregnancy in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome.Materials and Methods: This observational cross-sectional study was carried out in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Khwaja Yunus Ali Medical College and Hospital, Enayetpur, Sirajganj, Bangladesh from June 2020 to May 2022 for a period of two years. Women diagnosed with PCOS were willing to participate in our study were recruited from obstetrics Out patient Department (OPD) and antenatal ward of Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Khwaja Yunus Ali Medical College and Hospital. After obtaining an informed consent from them, a detailed interview schedule containing socio- demographic details, menstrual/marital/ obstetric/past/personal/ family history was taken.Results: Concerning complications Preeclampsia was found in 5 (9.1%) of the PCOS patients but not in the non-PCOS patients. The differences in gestational age and mode of birth between the two groups were not statistically significant (p>0.05). Perinatal outcome: 21 (39.6%) PCOS patients were admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), compared to 11 (20.0%) non-PCOS patients. Which of the two groups was statistically significant (p<0.05).Conclusion: The present study suggested that preeclampsia is a relatively common condition, and complications such gestational hyperglycemia, gestational hypertension, and preeclampsia were frequent in the PCOS group. In comparison to the non-PCOS group, the PCOS group had considerably greater rates of low birth weight and NICU admission. KYAMC Journal Vol. 14, No. 01, April 2023: 30-34
CA-125 (cancer antigen 125, carcinoma antigen 125, or carbohydrate antigen 125) also known as mucin 16 or MUC16 is a protein of mucin family glycoprotein that is encoded by the MUC16 gene. It is the most frequently used biomarker for ovarian cancer. It may also be elevated in other cancers, including endometrium, fallopian tube, lung, breast and gastrointestinal cancer and in a number of relatively benign conditions, such as endometriosis, menstruation and pregnancy. High plasma levels of more than 200 U/mL are usually suggestive of malignancy but rarely found in benign conditions of female genital tract, like endometriosis. Very high CA- 125 level is suggestive of ovarian malignancy, was noted in case of ovarian endometrioma. This paper describes a case of a 36 years old lady, mother of 2 children, was admitted with large abdominal mass and abdominal pain. CA-125 was found 3500 U/ML. Ovarian malignancy was suspected. During laparotomy, ruptured endometrioma was noted and it was supported by histopathological report which mentioned," No malignancy seen". Endometrioma can't be excluded in high CA-125 level even without features of endometriosis.KYAMC Journal Vol. 9, No.-3, October 2018, Page 139-140
Uterine rupture is a disastrous obstetric complication, occurring mostly in second and third trimesters. The risk of uterine rupture markedly increases with previous uterine surgeries. Termination of early pregnancy failure by misoprostol is common. However, its use in women with scarred uterus is speculative and usually puts the obstetricians in a stressful condition. Here we present a case of rupture of a scared uterus in the first trimester after using mifepristone and misoprostol. A 25 years old parous lady presented with uterine rupture after taking mifepristone and misoprostol by herself to induce abortion for unwanted pregnancy. Immediate laparotomy was done and the defect was repaired. Termination of pregnancy in a woman with scarred uterus by mifepristone and misoprostol can lead to uterine rupture. It should be used cautiously under close supervision or other routes (vaginal or oral). KYAMC Journal Vol. 10, No.-1, April 2019, Page 57-59
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
