“…Additionally, advanced maternal age is a risk factor for pregnancy, being associated with chromosomal abnormalities, preterm birth, ectopic pregnancy, foetal loss and maternal mortality [ 64 – 67 ]. Exacerbating this, high-risk pregnancies themselves are likely to provoke fear and anxiety during the gestation period, especially in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic [ 65 , 68 ].…”

Objectives To evaluate women’s knowledge and attitudes towards the menopause by comparing three groups of women: perimenopause, post menopause and those women not in either the peri or post menopause (other). Methods A 35 question online survey was advertised on social media to evaluate women’s attitudes and knowledge of the menopause. Three groups of women were compared: perimenopause, post menopause and those women not in either the peri or post menopause (other). Results Most women were completely uninformed or only had some knowledge of the menopause before the age of 40. Most women thought that the menopause should be taught at school, but over 80% had received no menopause education at school themselves. The most popular sources of menopause information were independent websites and friends. Perimenopausal women were significantly more likely than postmenopausal women to use online resources for menopause information. The perimenopausal and postmenopausal groups had more positive attitudes towards the menopause than the other group. 57.5% of postmenopausal women found the menopause difficult or very difficult. Most women were happy about no longer menstruating, although some expressed sadness regarding fertility loss. Conclusions Most women had limited knowledge and negative attitudes towards the menopause, leaving them unprepared to cope with the physical and psychological changes associated with this stage of life. Improved menopause education is required to improve quality of life during the menopausal transition and a most positive narrative of life postmenopause.

These have been identified as ways to manage high risk pregnancies and make them low risk [16].…”

This study was carried out to monitor 1097 women on the MICHD project. This was an independent monitoring and evaluation study on indigent women in Lagos State. The study was to evaluate the impact of antenatal visits and nutritional interventions on the Mother, Infants and Child and their pregnancy journey; while accessing the impact of the interventions on the High risk pregnancies and their outcome. The cohorts were divided into 2 major groups. The MICHD Plus group with 502 pregnant women (they attended weekly antenatal incentivized by weekly food Packs and Iron supplements for 12 weeks) and the MICHD control group with 595 pregnant (they attend regular antenatal for the same duration without the intervention). The antenatal visits reports were electronically automated and data of all pregnant women on the project collected and transcribed into a Gerocare MICHD application. Statistical analysis of antenatal variable and essential elements of a focused approach to Antenatal Care especially for the high-risk women were analyzed. Stability check reports of the antenatal visits monitored on the application at week 1, week 16 and week 20 showed the percentage of stable women at 56%, 71% and 93% respectively. Report shows that the MICHD cohorts’ attendance records estimates that 85% of the women attended antenatal between 4 - 13 times during the research period. The Highrisk pregnancies were identified and classified; there were 21 women below age 17, 13 had Hepatitis B, 36 had High Blood Pressure, 191 were Obese, 189 had Overweight BMI, 23 had Underweight BMI, and 14 women were above the age of 40. A total of 437 women were identified as High Risk and 610 women were No Risk. 78.3% of the 437 women had vaginal deliveries with no complications, while 87.7% of the no risk had vaginal deliveries. This shows that the interventions were able to improve pregnancy outcomes in 381 High risk women. Of the MICHD Plus intervention group 51% were high risk at takeoff but at delivery 84.2% of the women delivered with no complication and vaginally. An even higher percentage compared to the MICHD control that had less high risk women at takeoff. The results shows that focused approach to antenatal care and enhanced nutrition can improve pregnancy outcomes and reduce the chances of Caesarian surgery in high-risk pregnancies.

“…Representing the various symptoms of patients diagnosed with Aerobic vaginitis, Candidiasis, Trichomoniasis, Bacterial vaginosis Tansarli et al,10 and Zarbo et al,11 also reported high prevalence of S. aureus which is 41.7% and 27.9%, respectively. The most common organism isolated in study by Sangeetha et al, 6 was Enterococcus faecalis (32.26%), followed by Escherichia coli (25.8%), Staphylococcus aureus (19.35%) and β-hemolytic streptococci (9.68%).…”

Vaginitis is found to be quite common among women who present in Gynecology OPD. Aerobic vaginitis is one of the causes of vaginitis which is typically marked by either an increased inflammatory response or by prominent signs of epithelial atrophy or both. The main aim of the study was to analyze the signs, symptoms and laboratory investigations among women presenting with symptoms of vaginitis. The study consisted of 155 cases of women presenting with symptoms of vaginitis. Brief general, systemic and detailed gynecological examinations were done and analysed. The incidence of Aerobic vaginitis in the study group was observed to be 7.74%. All cases of Aerobic vaginitis had unusual vaginal discharge as the presenting symptom. It was observed that 50% of cases had additional complaints of pruritus vulvae and vaginal irritation while 25% cases had complaints of dysuria and dyspareunia. pH of vaginal smears of these cases varied from 6 to 10, average being 7.75. On Gram staining, there were moderate to plenty number of pus cells and few to moderate number of epithelial cells. Organisms grown included Coagulase negative Staphylococci; Streptococci and Klebsiella species. Other causes of vaginitis included Candida - 14.19%, Trichomoniasis - 6.45% and Bacterial vaginosis 7.09%. The study concluded that the incidence of Aerobic vaginitis in the present study was less as compared to other studies. It is advisable to do culture with an antimicrobial sensitivity to find out the cause of vaginitis especially in cases presenting with recurrent symptoms of vaginitis. The type of antibiotics used to treat vaginitis must be very selective in order not to kill the beneficial bacteria that help in preservation of vaginal health and ecosystem.
