Positive peritoneal cytology, deep myometrial invasion and stage II-IV endometrial cancer were significantly more common in patients with a BMI of <25. There were no significant differences in tumor grade, surgical technique, surgical morbidity or adjuvant radiotherapy between the BMI groups. Recurrence and cancer-related mortality rates were not affected by the BMI.

The third trimester is the independent variable for both decreased sexual activity frequency and sexual function scores in pregnancy. Counseling about sexuality during pregnancy is not frequent in the clinical setting, but conversations about this topic should happen on a regular basis during prenatal care visits.

Hyperemesis gravidarum is not associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Endocervical brushing was proved to be as accurate with respect to diagnostic yield as ECC but less painful, evaluating the endocervical canal. It can be an alternative for evaluation of the cervical canal pathology in patients with low grade cytologic abnormalities but devoid of the misinterpretation of stromal invasion; ECC should be preferred in patients with a suspicion of invasive disease.

Objective:To compare the value of the basal serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) level with most of the established ovarian reserve tests. Material and Methods:A total of 141 infertile women was studied prospectively. On cycle day 3, serum levels of AMH, inhibin B, estradiol (E), FSH and LH levels were measured, and the number of early antral follicles (2-6 mm in diameter) estimated at ultrasound scanning to compare the strengths of hormonal-follicular correlations. Results:The mean age of the participants was 29.18±5.54. The mean AMH and total AFC on day 3 were 2.23±1.90 ng/ml and 8.35±2.83, respectively. Serum AMH levels were more tightly correlated (p<0.001) with number of the early antral follicle count (r=0.467, p<0.0001) than age and serum levels of FSH (r=-0.400, p<0.001; r=-0.299, p<0.001 respectively). No correlation was detected between serum levels of inhibin B, E 2 , and LH (r=0.154, p=0.06; p=0.31; r=-0.085 and r=0.067, p=0.42) and AFC. Conclusion:Serum AMH levels showed a strong correlation with AFC, and also this correlation is stronger than the other ovarian reserve parameters.
