Their socioeconomic condition is very backward. Because of forced or early marriage, women are compelled to work as breadwinner of family or worker of household. Some women have obligation to work during pregnancy or immediately after delivery. Since many male cohorts have gone abroad, society resorts to women for labor. Occupational hazards of women are different based on geography, rural-urban environment, ethnicity (or caste) and even religion. Commonest of them are lack of safety devices, sexual harassment, domestic/workplace violence, injuries and occupational diseases. Their effects on psychology are lowered dignity (including self-esteem), trauma, melancholy, depression, early aging and other neurotic disorders. Their effects on reproductive health are sexual deprivation, uterine prolapse, molestation at workplace, sexually","PeriodicalId":220356,"journal":{"name":"Interventions in Gynaecology and Women’s Healthcare","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128043736","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cervical dilatation is mandatory for the insertion of intrauterine tandems in any of the techniques cited above. Pain and discomfort may eventually be limiting factors of the outpatient procedure and may lead to unsatisfactory results in terms of adequate position of the applicator set. We reviewed the current sedation and anesthetic options for comfort and safety procedures when performing HDR-BT. Int Gyn & Women’s Health Copyrights@ Antonio Cassio Assis Pellizzon.

As humans go older, physical conditions decline which leads to many illnesses. Depression constitutes the most common emotional disorder found in older people. Estimates of the prevalence of major depressive disorder of the elderly range from 2% 10% of those 65 and older [1]. Depression can be treated by administrating antidepressants, electroconvulsive therapy, Transcranial magnetic stimulations, cognitive behavioral and interpersonal therapies, lifestyle modifications and alternative therapies [2,3]. The alternative therapies encompass a variety of approaches which includes acupuncture, aroma therapy, laughter therapy, biofeedback, chiropractic treatments, guided imagery, dietary supplements, hypnosis, massage therapy, meditation, relaxation and yoga [4]. There is growing empirical literature on the effectiveness of laughter therapy on depression on elderly [5]. The objectives of the study were to compare the mean pre-test depression score of senior citizens between the experimental and control group. We also intended to compare the mean pre-test depression score of senior citizens in the experimental group. The mean pre-test depression score of senior citizens in the control group was compared. The mean post-test depression score of senior citizens between the experimental and control group was compared and evaluated. We also aimed to find out the association between level of depression and selected socio demographic variables of senior citizens in the experimental and control group UPINE PUBLISHERS Open Access L Interventions in Gynecology and Women’s Healthcare Research Article ISSN: 2637-4544 DOI: 10.32474/IGWHC.2018.02.000143 Int Gyn & Women’s Health Copyrights@ Satyajit P, et al.

{"title":"Impacts of Uterine Leiomyomata on Women’s Quality of Life","authors":"M. Allah, F. Basama, A. Elnahas, Ameer Osman Abaker","doi":"10.32474/IGWHC.2018.02.000139","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.32474/IGWHC.2018.02.000139","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Most women with Uterine Leiomyomata (UL) attribute various negative experiences in their lifetime to symptoms related to UL such as: abnormal uterine bleeding, various pressure symptoms and pelvic pain. Most of the research on UL examined the efficacy of treatment modalities, but only few researchers have addressed the impact of the disease on the women’s HealthRelated Quality of Life (HRQL). Methods: This is a descriptive, prospective, hospital-based qualitative study. The data was collected by: Focus Group (FG) interviews and by structured questionnaire. 200 women with symptomatic UL were recruited over a period of 6 months. The data was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) data analysis tool, Version 20. Results: The majority of women (98%) graded their symptoms as moderate or severe. The mostly affected group are those in the reproductive age (20 to 39 years). 69% of the employed women claimed that the disease has affected their work and 55% of them reported UL as a reason for their absence from work. 27.2% of all women think that the disease has moderately restricted their social and physical activities, whereas 66.4% think the impact on their work is severe. 28.3% of all women think that their sexual life was moderately dysfunctional because of the disease and 52.2% think the effect was severe. 36.8% and 61.6% of all women reported moderate to severe psychological concerns respectively, such as: the sensation of fear, feeling of unfairness, and discouragement. Conclusions: Uterine leiomyomata are a common health concern for women in the child-bearing age. Symptomatic UL has apparently a negative impact on: women HRQL, sexual and social lives and it appears to affect their work performance. There is no significant correlation between the women symptoms and type of employment; however, the study is suggestive of a possible positive correlation between the women severity of symptoms and: social activities, energy, mood, sense of control, and sexual function.

Increasing use of this device has led to an increase in its related complications. These complications include infection (1%), uterine perforation (0.1%), expulsion of device (5%), failure to prevent pregnancy as well as ectopic pregnancy (0.5-1%), menstrual problems like menorrhagia or dysmenorrhea, migration into the pelvis cavity(misplacements) (5%) and the frequent clinical problem is the lost tail or loss of the filament at the external cervical os [2]. There were so many studies about IUCD and its sequelae. The commonest and most attractive area is misplacement or migration and loss of IUCD thread. Clinicians from all over the world proved that hysteroscope is the best option to find the lost device in the uterine cavity. There were studies recommending usage of hysteroscopy for embedded or displaced IUCD. A study by Zuan Chong Feng et al. mentioned that hysteroscopy with an ultrasound B-scan is of great value not only for precise location but also for its removal under direct vision, particularly in the management of patients with broken and/or embedded IUCD pieces [3]. A study by Dwyer and James revealed that the incidence of difficulties associated with IUCD removal may occur in up to 9% of follow-up visits of women who have been fitted with IUCD [4]. According to the evidence, incidence of intrauterine device perforation is 0.87 per 1000 insertions [5]. (Ofer Markovitch et al.) Most perforations occur at the time of insertion and the risk is increased in the 4-8 weeks postpartum. When the string is found to be missing, pregnancy must be excluded, and the endometrial cavity explored. Ultrasonography can often determine if the IUCD is in the uterus; most IUCDs that perforate the uterus are often found in the pelvis [5].","PeriodicalId":220356,"journal":{"name":"Interventions in Gynaecology and Women’s Healthcare","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131856550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
