Combined treatment of an infected paraurethral cyst

Background: Current statistics show that the highest incidence of genital herpes is observed among women of reproductive age. Since these patients have an active lifestyle, frequent outbreaks of genital herpes can cause physical and psychological discomfort. Aim. To assess the quality of life of women of reproductive age with recurrent genital herpes. Methods: The quality of life in women suffering from recurrent genital herpes for more than 5 years (n=86) was evaluated. The control group included healthy women (n=91) according to the data of external genitalia examination and PCR diagnostics. The Health Status Survey (SF-36) in points was employed to measure the health status of women in both groups. Results: We established a significant difference between two groups of patients in terms of the influence of the following indicators on functional limitations: general health condition — 12.1±0.8 points; pain — 8.3±0.4 points; physical problems — 18,3±3,7; physical activity — 8.2±0.6 points (p<0.01). Conclusion: Symptoms of herpetic infection and longterm persistence have an impact on the performance of daily tasks and the quality of life of the patient.

Background. Paraurethral cyst (PC) is often found in women aged 20–60 years. The prevalence of PC in the female population is 1–6 %. Since PC are often located in the distal urethra and lie close to the genitals of a woman, the symptoms associated with this disease cause women both physical and psychological suffering.Aim. To assess the quality of life of women with PC.Materials and methods. The study included female individuals (n = 106) aged 18–60 years, in whom PC were detected during examination of the perineal region. The quality of life of the patients was assessed on the basis of the health quality questionnaire – SF-36.Results. The average volume of the PC in the observed women was 3.2 ± 1.3 cm. In the observed women, the intensity of pain in the perineum was directly proportional to the duration of the disease: up to a year – 86.3 ± 4.1; from one to three years – 76.4 ± 8.3; more than three years – 64.4 ± 9.2 (p <0.05). In this regard, in this category of patients, indicators of physical activity, psychological health and role functioning due to emotional state were reduced. Repeatedor constant pain during urination and during sexual activity causes severe distress, which affects the quality of life of patients with cystic formations in the paraurethral region.Conclusion. In women with PC on the background of dyspareunia up to 3 years and more, physical and psychological aspects of health suffer.

Introduction. Benign female paraurethral masses (BFPM) are not often found during practice. This is due to the small size of the BMP and the low specificity and effectiveness of imaging techniques (urethrocystography, ultrasound, computed tomography).Purpose of the study. To determine the frequency and structure of female BMP.Materials and methods. We conducted a retrospective analysis of the female medical records (n = 5,112) who went to the urologist in 2018 with complaints of a frequent and painful urination. In this population, 92 (1.79%) patients were diagnosed with BFPM.Results. In the structure of BFPM, the most common is urethral diverticulum -57 (61.9%) and paraurethral cyst - 24 (26%). In other cases, we identified a urethral polyp and leiomyoma in 7 (7,6%) и 4 (4,5%) of cases, respectively. The average womens' age who were diagnosed with was 29.2 ± 7.3 years. BFPM were detected most often in women aged 26 to 35 years (48.9%). All patients complained of frequent urination. We have recorded the following complaints as well: feeling of a foreign body in the perineum - 77.1%, imperative urinary urgency - 64.1%, perineal pain - 28.2%, dyspareunia - 26%, difficulty urinating - 14.1%. The above-mentioned complaints were noted within 1 year by more than half of women (72.8%).Conclusions. BFPM were diagnosed in 1.79% of women. Of these, 2/3 of cases were urethral diverticula, and % of cases were paraurethral cyst. The diagnosis of BFPM should be comprehensive and combine examination, palpation and instrumental (ultrasound, urethrocystoscopy, MRI) diagnosis of the urethral region.
