Hysteroscopy can be used in conjunction with laparoscopy or other methods to reduce the risk of perforation during the procedure. [9] Endometrial polyp. Polypectomy. Abnormal uterine bleeding; Adenomyosis; Endometrial ablation [10] (Some newer systems specifically developed for endometrial ablation such as the Novasure do not require hysteroscopy)
The average onset age of menopause after hysterectomy with ovarian conservation is 3.7 years earlier than average. [23] This has been suggested to be due to the disruption of blood supply to the ovaries after a hysterectomy or due to missing endocrine feedback of the uterus.
Caesarean sections require a large incision of the uterus, which can lead to complications such as blood loss, postoperative pain, anaemia due to continuing blood loss, fever and possible wound infection, breastfeeding issues, difficulty passing urine, future fertility problems, and/or possible complications in future pregnancies including ...
Obstetric anesthesia or obstetric anesthesiology, also known as ob-gyn anesthesia or ob-gyn anesthesiology, is a sub-specialty of anesthesiology that provides peripartum (time directly preceding, during or following childbirth) [1] pain relief for labor and anesthesia (suppress consciousness) for cesarean deliveries ('C-sections').
Dilation (or dilatation) and curettage (D&C) refers to the dilation (widening or opening) of the cervix and surgical removal of sections and/or layers of the lining of the uterus and or contents of the uterus such as an unwanted fetus (early abortion before 13 weeks), remains of a non-viable fetus, retained placenta after birth or abortion as well as any abnormal tissue which may be in the ...
The size and shape of the uterus will determine how many cycles are required. [10] Water-thermal ablation – For roughly 10 minutes, warm fluid is delivered into the uterus. The uterine lining is destroyed by the heat. This technique has the benefit of being usable in patients who have uteri that are shaped differently due to abnormal tissue ...
Menopause itself begins after one’s final menstrual cycle. The transition is never going to be simple or easy for anyone, but it can surely be improved if we rethink classifying the topic as taboo.
However, there are cases where these overlapping terms do not coincide. For example, the intact D&E procedure may be used to remove a deceased fetus (e.g., due to a miscarriage or feticide) that is developed enough to require dilation of the cervix for its extraction. [19]
