ABSTRACT
With the incidence rate of female tumors rising year by year and its younger trend, the demand for fertility preservation is increasing. The application of fertility preservation technology in young female tumor patients, as well as its ethical, legal, and psychological aspects, posed certain challenges. The effectiveness and safety of the technology, as well as the ethical and legal issues faced in the implementation process, such as the health of offspring after preserving the patient’s fertility, patient reproductive autonomy, and the handling of frozen reproductive materials, were all open to discussion. Fertility preservation was not only related to technology and healthcare, but also involved the psychological and emotional needs of patients and their families. In addition, the laws and regulations on fertility preservation need to be further improved, to better protect the reproductive rights of young tumor patients and provide safe legal protection.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical value of MRI in the diagnosis of oblique vaginal septum syndrome(OVSS),and to improve the diagnostic level for this disease.Methods Clinical and imaging data of 8 patients (7 adolescent females and 1 female in fertility period)with vaginal septum syndrome were analyzed retrospectively.All participants were evaluated by ultrasound examination before MRI scanning,and 1 of them underwent enhanced MRI scan.Results Among the 8 patients with OVSS,the main findings of MRI includes uterine deformity (4 double uterus,3 mediastinal uterus,1 double angle uterus with uterine septum),oblique vaginal septum (7 right oblique septum and 1 left oblique septum).All subjects presented with ipsilateral renal agenesis,and 4 patients with endometriosis,1 patient with ureteral distortion and ectopic opening and 1 patient with double inferior vena cava.6 patients suffered with hemorrhage in the posterior chamber of oblique septum and 2 patients with empyema.Hemorrhage in the contralateral vagina were observed in 3 cases,while no significant abnormality was found in other 5 cases.Conclusion MRI scan has an important clinical value on the diagnosis of OVSS and can provide crucial information for the optimal individual treatment.
