ABSTRACT

O sangramento uterino anormal é um distúrbio frequente que pode ocorrer em qualquer idade entre a menarca e a menopausa, mas concentra-se principalmente em seus extremos, logo após a menarca e no período perimenopausa, quando ocorrem alterações no eixo hipotálamo-hipófise-ovário, que levam com muita frequência à anovulação. O sangramento uterino disfuncional, considerado diagnóstico de exclusão, pode ser ovulatório ou anovulatório. O manejo do quadro pressupõe que o sangramento agudo seja coibido e que se evite a recidiva; para tanto, é fundamental que se estabeleça o diagnóstico etiológico. Os autores fazem uma revisão objetiva sobre o assunto, dando ênfase ao diagnóstico e tratamento da doença.


Abnormal uterine bleeding is a clinical problem wich may occur at any time during the reproductive years; however, it is most prevalent during perimenarche and perimenopause, when women tend to have anovularoty cycles. Disfunctional uterine bleeding is a prevalent disease that affects women from adolescence to menopause. The treatment should control the acute bleeding and avoid the recidive. The etiological diagnosis is fundamental for this purpose. The authors make an objective review about dysfunctional uterine bleeding herein, focusing on the diagnosis and treatment of the disease.

ABSTRACT

Conocer la frecuencia de defectos hemostáticos en mujeres con sangrado uterino anormal. Se estudiaron 55 mujeres de edades comprendidas entre 17 y 55 años, que presentaban sangrado uterino anormal. En cada paciente se realizó un estudio que comprendió: Historia clínica, examen físico (incluido examen ginecológico), biopsia endometrial, ultrasonograma transvaginal y pélvico y estudio hemostático a través de la determinación de los tiempos de protrombina y de tromboplastina parcial, concentraciones de factor VIII (FVIII), factor von Willebrand (FvW) y IX y agregación plaquetaria con epinefrina, ADP, colágeno y ristocetina. Hospital Nuestra Señora de Chiquinquirá, e Instituto de Investigaciones Clínicas “Dr. Américo Negrette”, Facultad de Medicina. Universidad del Zulia, Maracaibo, Venezuela. En todas las mujeres se halló una alteración orgánica, funcional o mixta en el área genital. Los tiempos de coagulación y las concentraciones de los factores estudiados fueron normales con excepción de una paciente cuya concentración de FVIII fue de 0,47U/μL. La agregación plaquetaria mostró alteraciones en el 51,1 por ciento de los casos. La frecuencia de alteraciones de la coagulación en mujeres con sangrado uterino anormal, fue similar a la de la población general, por esta razón no se justifica que todas las pacientes con sangrado uterino anormal, se sometan a un estudio de coagulación; sin embargo, la alta frecuencia de agregación plaquetaria anormal, se debe tomar en cuenta antes de decidir una conducta quirúrgica.

ABSTRACT

This case s presented to show that leech infestation is still not uncommon in Iraq especially of the genital tract. Leech infestation, could cause menorrhagia in women. A 45 years old multiparous woman from Sinjar's rural areas in Mosul province, attending the out patient department with severe vaginal bleeding, and a history of moderate, continuous vaginal bleeding for four months. She underwent diagnostic curettage three months before, which revealed normal secretory endometrium. The infected woman was pale and hypotensive with features of chronic iron deficiency anemia. Speculum and gynecological examinations demonstrated no abnormalities. Total abdominal hysterectomy as an emergency was done with preservation of both ovaries; bleeding persisted postoperatively; re-assessment by speculum pelvic examination revealed leech infestation of the vagina. The Leech belongs to Phyllum Annelida, class Hirudinea, and order Rhychobdellida. An infestation with leeches should be considered in patients who present with menorrhagia and history of immersion in fresh water lakes or streams in tropical infested areas. Leech infestation is not common in gynecological practice, and is rare nowadays as water supplied to all cities and villages is passing through filtration and disinfection process. Leech infestation should be remembered, as a cause of menorrhagea, in areas where using river water and sitting at riverside is habitual for women in infested rural areas

ABSTRACT

To compare the combined diagnostic reliability of sonohysterography and endometrial biopsy with fractional curettage with hysteroscopy in the initial evaluation of women with abnormal uterine bleeding. Department of obstetrics and gynecology, faculty of medicine, Al-Azhar University cross sectional study in 2004 all perimenopausal women with abnormal uterine bleeding were offered inclusion, with 100 completed the study. An endometrial biopsy was performed at the time of initial evaluation. Routine transvaginal ultrasonography was then used to measure the uterus, ovaries, and endometrial stripe thickness, followed immediately by sonohysterography to evaluate the symmetry of endometrial wall thickness and delineate any intraluminal masses. Definitive histopathologic sampling was obtained by fractional curettage with hysteroscopy and statistically compared with the diagnoses arrived at by endometrial biopsy and sonohysterography. The combination of endometrial biopsy and transvaginal sonohysterography positively correlated with the surgical findings >95% of the time, with a sensitivity and specificity of 94% and 96%, respectively [confidence interval 91% to 99%]. No patients with endometrial hyperplasia or cancer were misdiagnosed. Sonohysterography combined with endometrial biopsy is a reliable tool for evaluating women with abnormal uterine bleeding

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Apresentar os resultados da experiência clínica inicial de 100 casos de mulheres portadoras de miomatose sintomática que foram submetidas a embolização das artérias uterinas como forma de tratamento principal. Apresenta-se, também, extensa revisão bibliográfica sobre o tema, para determinar as indicações e contra-indicações, bem como as eventuais complicações do método. MATERIAL E MÉTODO: Cem pacientes com miomatose sintomática foram submetidas a embolização das artérias uterinas como única forma de tratamento. O principal sintoma que indicou a intervenção foi o aumento do fluxo menstrual em 79 pacientes e dor associada à miomatose em 21. O diagnóstico de miomatose foi realizado por meio de ultra-sonografia em 75 pacientes, e pela associação de ultra-sonografia e ressonância magnética em 25 pacientes. O volume uterino médio avaliado por esses métodos de imagem resultou em 487 cm³. Os procedimentos foram realizados em duas instituições hospitalares: uma pública, onde foram atendidas 56 pacientes dependentes do Sistema Unico da Saúde (SUS), e outra particular, onde foram atendidas 46 pacientes com plano de assistência médica. Setenta e seis pacientes foram avaliadas clinicamente após 12 semanas da realização da embolização uterina. RESULTADOS: O procedimento foi completado com sucesso em 97 por cento dos casos, utilizando-se técnica convencional. O acompanhamento e a avaliação clínica após 12 semanas evidenciou que houve melhora dos sintomas em mais de 90 por cento das pacientes. Verificou-se, ainda, redução de volume uterino de 52 por cento. Não foram observadas complicações técnicas ou clínicas relevantes. CONCLUSÃO: A técnica de embolização uterina para tratamento da miomatose sintomática é um método simples, eficiente e seguro


PURPOSE: To report the initial clinical experience after the treatment of 100 women suffering of symptomatic fibroids who were submitted to uterine artery embolization as the main form of treatment. We also present an extensive review of literature on the subject in order to determine the indications and contra-indications, and the possible complications of this method. MATERIAL AND METHOD: One hundred patients with symptomatic fibroids were submitted to uterine artery embolization as the main form of treatment. The main symptoms that justified the intervention were increased menstrual flow in 79 patients and pain related to the fibroids in 21 patients. Diagnosis was made using ultrasound alone in 75 patients and ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging in 25 patients. The mean uterine volume measured using these imaging methods was 487cm³. The procedure was performed in two Institutions: 56 procedures in a public Institution in patients attended by the public health system, and 46 patients with health insurance treated in a private clinic. Seventy-six patients were followed clinically during 12 weeks after uterine embolization. RESULTS: The procedure was done with success in 97% of cases using a conventional technique. Clinical follow-up after 12 weeks showed symptomatic improvement in over 90% of the patients. Reductions of the uterine volume of up to 52% were also observed. No relevant technical and/or clinical complications were seen. CONCLUSION: Uterine artery embolization for the treatment of symptomatic fibroids is a simple, efficient and safe procedure.

ABSTRACT

Estudiar las características, clínicas, diagnóstico y resultados terapeúticos, en pacientes con el síndrome de útero didelfo, hemivagina obstruida y agenesia renal homolateral. Estudio retrospectivo de siete casos, atendidos entre 1977 y 1997, con diagnóstico comprobado por la clínica, imágenes (ecografía, radiología, tomografía axial computada o resonancia magnética nuclear) y/o laparoscopia. Hospitales Chiquinquirá y "Manuel Noriega Trigo" y consulta ginecológica privada. La presentación clínica es proteiforme, con diferentes motivos de consulta. Las imágenes y la laparoscopia son decisivas en el diagnóstico. Un procedimiento quirúrgico simple de drenaje hemático seguido de plastia de un orificio para garantizar permeabilidad ulterior, con resultados positivos, tanto para la fertilidad como para otros motivos de consulta. Las malformaciones de útero y vagina deben ser detalladamente conocidas por el ginecólogo, para garantizar un diagnóstico a edades tempranas, evitándose así complicaciones como endometriosis pélvica y el deterioro funcional del riñon único. La canalización cérvico-vaginal del lado patológico, es el enfoque terapeútico recomendado

ABSTRACT

A menorragia é um problema ginecológico comum em adolescentes. Os dois primeiros anos pós-menarca geralmente säo anovulatórios e a maioria dos casos de sangramento excessiva resulta da imaturidade do eixo hipotálamo-hipófise-ovário. Entretanto, o diagnóstico diferencial deve incluir coagulopatias, tireoidopatias e Síndrome de Ovários Policísticos, entre outros. A fisiopatologia do sangramento excessivo ainda näo está bem definida mas acredita-se que alteraçöes hemostáticas e hormonais estejam envolvidas. Para o diagnóstico da etiologia da menorragia, a história menstrual e a idade ginecológica (tempo decorrido desde a menarca) säo fundamentais. Um hemograma e uma ecografia transvaginal podem auxiliar bastante. O tratamento pode variar desde a tranqüilizaçäo e acompanhamento da adolescente, até a terapia medicamentosa agressiva. O tratamento cirúrgico é incomum

ABSTRACT

A retrospective audit of 117 patients was undertaken in the Department if Gynaecology at City General Hospital, Stoke-on-Trent, U.K. to assess the efficacy of transcervical resection of endometrium [TCRE] in women presenting with menstrual disorders. Patient satisfaction with the procedure was noted at 3, 6, 12 months. A total of 117 TCRE were performed. Three were abandoned in favour of hysterectomy due to major operative complications [2 for perforation of uterus and 1 for uncontrollable bleeding]. Three patients [2.6%] with primary haemorrhage were controlled by tamponade. Glycine toxicity was noted. Of 82 patients followed up for 6 months, 67 [81.7%] had oligomenorrhea or amenorrhoea while among 35 patients followed up for 12 months, 33 [94%] had oligomenorrhea and amenorrhoea. TCRE is a relatively new technique which represents an advance in the management of menstrual problems. Careful audit of results with long term follow up will determine the exact place of this technique in Gynaecology
