“…Uterine fibroids occur more frequently in women aged 30–50 years and is strongly associated with obesity, nulliparity, and a positive family history [3, 4]. Despite it being so common, uterine leiomyoma is an extremely rare cause of acute urinary retention in women with just a handful of reported cases in the literature [5–8].…”

Introduction Acute urinary retention is a rare occurrence in women necessitating further investigation. Potential underlying causes may be broadly classified into obstructive, neurological, pharmacological, and psychogenic categories. Case A 36-year-old nulliparous female presented to the Emergency Department with a two-day history of acute urinary retention. Point-of-care ultrasonography and CT scan imaging confirmed the presence of a large uterine mass causing compression of the bladder. The acute retention was relieved with urethral catheterization. A Uterine leiomyoma was confirmed on histology after hysterectomy. Discussion Once the acute urinary retention has been relieved by insertion of a urethral catheter, the underlying cause of the obstruction must be determined. Although uterine leiomyoma is a fairly common finding in the general population, it is an extremely rare cause of acute urinary retention in women with just a handful of reported cases in the literature.

“…The identification of a method which is the safest for the patient and carries the lowest risk associated with reducing the possibility of a full-term delivery is the key to solving the problem of UF-related infertility [59]. It is worth adding that numerous women completely resign from surgical treatment because of possible complications or surgery-related stress [61]. Therefore, MRgFUS/MR-HIFU appears to be an optimal treatment modality in those patients.…”

Iron Deficiency Anemia

Iron is an important element in living systems as it participates in a series of metabolic processes including DNA synthesis and oxygen and electron transport. Iron deficiency is the most common cause of anemia globally being an important healthcare problem. If left untreated, iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) can cause significant morbidity and often is the result of a more serious underlying condition. Correcting iron deficiency and replenishing iron reserves are important objectives of a well-conducted treatment, but diagnosis should prompt further investigation to establish the cause for potential reversal. Age, tolerance, preferred route of administration, and severity of anemia are some of the patient's characteristics which require an individualized approach.
