“…In addition, AUB patients have uteri that are much larger than those of healthy, nulliparous women of child-bearing age. 16 As observed in a previous study, a significant increase in the total uterine cavity volume with increasing parity was also observed in our study. 25 Sonohysterography using a paediatric Foley catheter balloon offers an accurate approach for measuring the uterine cavity volume, which is the sum of the volumes of a cone and a part of a sphere of a normal uterus without gross pathology.…”

“…The endometrial cavity may be too small to accommodate standard IUDs, which may affect the rate of expulsion and displacement. [15][16][17] The assessment of uterine size and volume is helpful in the assessment of various gynaecological conditions, including disorders of sex development (DSD), precocious puberty, absence of menstruation with or without pubertal delay, infertility, menstrual disorders, pelvic masses, ambiguous genitalia and in the survivor of childhood or adult cancer who has been exposed to radiotherapy to a field that includes the pelvis. 4 Moreover, assessing uterine cavity volume is important to exclude hypoplastic uterus or reduced uterine cavity volume in cases where repeated abortion and preterm labour is almost inevitable due to these conditions.…”

“…Those studies either measured the intrauterine volume during pregnancy or the amniotic fluid or total uterine volume. 12,[14][15][16] In one study, the uterine cavity volume was calculated using sonography: endometrial stripe length × width at its widest point × height or full uterine thickness × 0.524. 20 In another study, the total uterine volume was calculated using the following variables: longitudinal diameter (LD), anteroposterior (AP) diameter and transverse diameter (TD), the formula being LD × APD × TD × 0.45.…”

Introduction: The uterine cavity is a potential space with limited methods for evaluating its volume, limiting the evaluation of interventions’ effectiveness in various uterine conditions. This study aims to objectively measure the uterine cavity volume using sonohysterography coupled with a Foley catheter to provide a normative model of age and parity-related uterine cavity volume. Methods: The research included 35 women (group 1) with a total abdominal hysterectomy and 150 women (group 2) who underwent sonohysterography for various gynecologic indications. Saline infusion sonography was administered to all patients. The most common shape obtained after the saline infusion was taken to measure the uterine cavity’s dimensions and volume. The uterine cavity volumes, as measured by sonohysterography, and the volumes of saline injected after the hysterectomy were compared. Results: A significant association exists between uterine cavity volumes measured by sonohysterography and true volumes measured immediately after hysterectomy ( p = 0.001). The association between uterine cavity volume measured by sonohysterography and using only a Foley catheter balloon was statistically insignificant ( p = 0.13). A statistically significant positive association was observed between the uterine cavity volume and the patient’s age and parity ( p ⩽ 0.05). Conclusion: Measuring the uterine cavity volume using a paediatric Foley catheter balloon coupled with sonohysterography offers an objective approach to measuring a normal (without gross pathologies) uterus volume. This technique would improve the diagnostic accuracy and the management of women with distinct uterine cavity morphologies.

Determination of Women's Knowledge About Abnormal Uterine BleedingAim: Abnormal uterine bleeding is one of the most common reasons for the referral of women of reproductive age to the gynaecology outpatient clinic. It is a subjective condition in which women evaluate bleeding in which characteristic. This study was conducted to determine the current knowledge of women on abnormal uterine bleeding. Methods: This descriptive study was conducted between February and May 2019 in İzmir Katip Çelebi UniversityAtatürk Training and Research Hospital Gynaecology Clinic. The sample of the study consisted of 200 women over the age of 18, married, without any sensory / psychiatric illness and who agreed to participate in the study. The questionnaire form prepared by the researcher was used to collect the research data. The data obtained from the study were analysed in SPSS 21 package program. Descriptive tests and chi-square test were used in the analysis. Results: The average age of the participants is 35.37±8.19 and 39% of them are university graduates. It was found that women have good knowledge about abnormal uterine bleeding, especially in terms of its duration, frequency and amount. It was found that the knowledge levels of women about abnormal uterine bleeding differ according to their education level and age. It was found that women with a low level of education considered postcoital bleeding and intermenstrual bleeding to be more normal, while patients in the young age group found brownblack bleeding consistent with abnormal. Conclusion:As a result of the study, it was determined that women have good knowledge about abnormal uterine bleeding, but they need to be informed about intermenstrual and postcoital bleeding. For this purpose, we believe that it will be effective to inform abnormal uterine bleeding for women by healthcare professionals.
