Relevance: Studies show that between 41% and 91.5% of young women, school-aged and university-aged, are affected by dysmenorrhea. Primary dysmenorrhea, which is caused by the production of prostaglandins, is defined as cramping pain in the lower abdomen and/or pelvis occurring just before or during menstruation, in the absence of other...
Nephrogenic metaplasia in a female person with spinal cord injury: chronic irritation caused by Foley balloon was aggravated by a large uterine fibroid pressing upon the bladder wall for several years: a case report - Spinal Cord Series and Cases
Chronic irritation caused by urinary catheter may predispose to metaplastic changes in the bladder and very rarely, nephrogenic metaplasia. A 53-year-old lady with T-2 paraplegia and urethral catheter drainage for ..... see more
Discussion: Catheter reaction and nephrogenic metaplasia was found in the left superolateral wall of the bladder where the large uterine fibroid was pushing the balloon of the catheter against the bladder wall for more than seven years. The patient decided to undergo surgery to remove the large fibroid and thereby prevent further pressure...
High grade sarcoma with chondrosarcomatous differentiation in primary uterine leiomyosarcoma; A rare case and review of literature

Conclusions: CM should be considered a reliable and safe approach to prevent the need for another surgery for remnant leiomyoma. Herein, surgeons performed CM when uterine leiomyomas were large, of the subserosal type, or few. Standardized treatment guidelines for myomectomy during CSs in pregnant women with uterine fibroids should be...
