Background: Women receiving endocrine adjuvant (EA) therapy after breast cancer treatment report high rates of menopausal symptoms including vasomotor symptoms (VMS). VMS impact quality of life and can lead to treatment discontinuation and reduced survival, but existing literature evaluating symptom burden and impact is limited. The REAL-world evIdence on vasomotor and other Symptoms in menopausal womEn (REALISE) study aimed to evaluate physician and patient perceptions of symptom burden and impact in women experiencing VMS while receiving EA therapy for breast cancer.

Fragile X Syndrome is a confirmed cause of Primary Ovarian Insufficiency (POI). The frequency of women who carry a premutation is 1/300. This has many consequences with the most significant being the loss of reproductive hormones and infertility. However, there are 5-10% of spontaneous pregnancies. For this reason patients must be informed by genetic counselling of the risk of having a newborn who may carry a premutation or Fragile X Syndrome. We report the case of 33-year-old woman referred for 5-month-long amenorrhea. In the study, serum gonadotropins were found at menopausal range. The patient became pregnant without medical intervention and before having the results of the genetic study, which was diagnostic of carrier of Fragile X Syndrome premutation with 90 expanded CGG repeats. An amniocentesis was performed afterwards, which reported the 46XX newborn to be positive for complete mutation of Fragile X Syndrome, with 200 expanded CGG repeats. Finally, a girl with correct weight was born by vaginal delivery at 37.5 weeks. She presented late and slow psychomotor development in the first years of life and is currently receiving paediatric neurology follow-up.

Introduction & Rationale: This case highlights the multidisciplinary approach used in the management of sexual dysfunction in post-menopausal women. A 52-year-old Chinese female presented with an 8-month history of worsening dyspareunia, low libido and secondary anorgasmia. She was on continuous menopause hormone therapy (MHT) that was initiated 2 years prior. Her initial presenting complaints were hot flushes, sleep disruption, vaginal dryness and mood instability – all of which resolved with MHT. She was found to have secondary vaginismus contributed by stressors that perpetuated the sexual dysfunction cycle. Predisposing factors included mild stress incontinence since the birth of her second child 18 years ago and work-related stress. Psycho-social factors included anxiety about not being able to satisfy her husband’s sexual needs leading to his infidelity, and the impact on her marriage.
