Background: Fibroids are the most common benign tumours of the uterus. They can be asymptomatic or might present with different symptoms varied from heavy menstrual bleeding, dyspareunia, abdominal distension, or pressure-related bladder symptoms etc. Present study was done with the aim to assess the clinical features of uterine broids.Material &methods:It was a retrospective Hospital based study conducted over a period of six months in which 131 women who attended Gynecology OPD of a tertiary care teaching hospital in Rajasthan from January to June 2019 with complaints of menstrual disorders with anemia or abdomino-pelvic mass with pain and feeling heaviness in the abdomen were included.Results: Out of 131 women, 37 (28.2%) women presented to Gynecology OPD with abdomino-pelvic mass without any menstrual abnormality while 94 (71.8%) women were symptomatic. 53.4% women presented with Heavy menstrual bleeding while Dysmenorrhea (n=65; 49.6%), Fullness/heaviness in abdomen (n=61; 46.6%), Irregular period (n=57; 43.5%), Prolonged duration of menstrual bleeding (n=42; 32.0%), Constipation/bloating/diarrhoea (n=41; 31.3%) and non-menstrual pelvic pain/cramping (n=39; 29.8%) were other symptoms seen in women with broids. Conclusion : Uterine broids cause abnormal uterine bleeding and other symptoms which have negative impact on women's quality of life, affecting their sexual, social and professional life. Early diagnosis and treatment reduces morbidity and improves quality of life.
Aims:To evaluate the incidence, maternal and fetal outcome of breech presentation in a tertiary care hospital. Methods: st st A retrospective study was conducted in the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in tertiary care center from 1 July 2019 to 31 June 2020. Total 82 cases were included. The demographic data like age, parity, gestational age, mode of delivery, maternal and perinatal outcome were noted from hospital records and studied. Results: The incidence was 2.8 %. 62.1% cases were among 20-25 years and 26.8 % cases were among 26-30 years. Primigravida constitutes 56.09%. Most were by caesarean section (74.3 %) & were associated with PROM, GHTH, oligohydramnios, PPH & APH. Majority of perinatal morbidity was due to preterm birth (30.4%). Discussion: The Breech presentation incidence was 2.8% in our study. This is similar to a study by Ratan et al where incidence of breech was 2.65%. Most common age group associated with breech as per this study is 20-25 years which had 62% cases which is similar to study by Ratan et al. Conclusion: Breech delivery is a high-risk pregnancy, associated with adverse fetal and maternal outcomes during pregnancy and labor. The mode of delivery should be based on parity, gestational age, birth weight, sonographic ndings, stage of labor and confounding factors affecting health of mother and fetus. Caesarean section does not totally eliminate the associated maternal and perinatal morbidity
