RESUMO

@#Objectives: The objectives of our study were to determine the mean age of onset of thelarche and menarche, to determine the ages of each stage of puberty and to investigate if there are any ethnic differences in these ages amongst female adolescents in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study involving three secondary schools in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur. A total of 730 students were recruited via stratified random sampling. Self-administered survey forms on menstruation and puberty were used. Results: Out of 730 recruited respondents, 385 (52.74%) completed the survey and informed consents were obtained from their parents/legal guardians. Our respondents’ ages ranged between 13 to 17 years old with the median (IQR) age of 14.00(2.00) years. With regards to ethnicity, 329 (85.50%) were Malay, 46 (11.90%) were Chinese, 9 (2.30%) were Indian and 1(0.30%) was a Bajau. The mean age for breast development (thelarche) and menarche were 11.72 ±1.10 and 11.97±1.11 years respectively. The majority, 363 (94.30%), out of 385 respondents had attained menarche. There appeared to be a later onset of puberty amongst Malays comparatively. Conclusion: The mean ages of pubertal onset and menarche amongst female adolescents in the Cheras area are similar to those reported worldwide.

RESUMO

Ectopic pregnancy is defined as an extrauterine pregnancy. We report three cases where the ectopic pregnancies were implanted in different sites. The first case was a 28-year-old in her second pregnancy at 9 weeks gestation. She presented with painless vaginal bleeding. Ultrasound showed unruptured cornual pregnancy with hCG level of 7456mIU/ml. A single dose of 75mg IM methorexate was given and she responded well with significant reduction of hCG level. The second case, a 26-year-old gravida 5 para 2+2, with 2 previous ectopic pregnancies and bilateral salpingectomy, conceived via in-vitro fertilization (IVF). She presented with acute abdomen and one episode of syncope at 8 weeks 4 days gestation. Laparotomy showed ruptured ectopic pregnancy at the left tubal stump requiring a left salpingectomy. The third case was a 26-year-old, gravida 5 para 2+2, with two previous vaginal deliveries and two previous first trimester miscarriages. Her menses was irregular since she took injectable progestin. She presented to the emergency department with sudden onset of lower abdomen pain. Urine pregnancy test was positive. Ultrasound showed empty uterus, no adnexal mass but there was significant free fluid in the cul-de-sac. During laparoscopy, a ruptured ovarian pregnancy was diagnosed and salpingo-oophorectomy performed. There was no significant risk factor contributing to ectopic pregnancy identified in the first and third case. In the second case, despite previous bilateral salpingectomy, the patient still had ectopic pregnancy in the left fallopian tube remnant.
