  2. Pelvic organ prolapse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelvic_organ_prolapse

    When operating a pelvic organ prolapse, introducing a mid-urethral sling during or after surgery seems to reduce stress urinary incontinence. [13] Transvaginal repair seems to be more effective than transanal repair in posterior wall prolapse, but adverse effects cannot be excluded. [14] According to the FDA, serious complications are "not rare ...

  3. Uterine inversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uterine_inversion

    If efforts at manual replacement are not successful surgery is required. [1] After the uterus is replaced oxytocin and antibiotics are typically recommended. [1] The placenta can then be removed if it is still attached. [1] Uterine inversion occurs in about 1 in 2,000 to 1 in 10,000 deliveries. [1] [4] Rates are higher in the developing world. [1]

  4. Etonogestrel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etonogestrel

    Side effects of etonogestrel include menstrual irregularities, breast tenderness, mood changes, acne, headaches, Marca da besta epanom, and others. [4] Etonogestrel is a progestin , or a synthetic progestogen , and hence is an agonist of the progesterone receptor , the biological target of progestogens like progesterone . [ 16 ]

  5. Transvaginal mesh - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transvaginal_mesh

    Generally, the position and incisions for transvaginal mesh are determined by the corresponding pelvic muscle defect, which differs from patient to patient. [3] The implantation usually starts with anterior colpotomy, which is an incision on the anterior vaginal wall to assess the vesicovaginal space in front of the vagina.

  6. Uterus transplantation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uterus_transplantation

    During transplant surgery, the surgeon must join the cervix of the transplanted uterus to the vagina using stitches. Over time, during the healing process, this area can form excessive scar tissue that narrows the vaginal canal and reduces the flexibility and diameter of the vagina, causing stenosis. [60] Side effects of immunosuppressants:

  7. Hormonal intrauterine device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hormonal_intrauterine_device

    Other effects include making the inside of the uterus become fatal to sperm [86] [89] and thinning of the endometrial lining, but this is not the usual function. [90] [91] Ovulation is not inhibited in all cases. [86] [92] Numerous studies have demonstrated that IUDs primarily prevent fertilization, not implantation. [53]

  8. Vaginal stenosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaginal_stenosis

    It is one of the most prevalent side effects, affecting about one third of people undergoing pelvic radiation therapy. [ 12 ] [ 13 ] Radiation-induced stenosis can be a late reaction to treatment. Damage to the vaginal epithelium causes abnormal collagen production that leads to atrophy , loss of muscle, decreased blood flow, hypoxia , and ...

  9. Hormonal contraception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hormonal_contraception

    The same cervical mucus changes occur as with very low dose and intermediate dose progestogens. In anovulatory cycles using progestogen-only contraceptives, the endometrium is thin and atrophic. If the endometrium was also thin and atrophic during an ovulatory cycle, this could theoretically interfere with implantation of a blastocyst (embryo).
