Psychiatric Symptoms

Urogenital
Foul Smelling Vaginal Discharge
- Symptoms of an infection include fever, vaginal bleeding that does not stop, cramping, and a foul-smelling vaginal discharge. Infections can be serious and need immediate medical attention.[nlm.nih.gov]

Workup
- Although MRIs are not involved in the SA workup, an MRI study was ordered in the ED in the background of otherwise normal findings to asses for a potential appendicitis, which has been commonly reported during pregnancy in the literature [ 11 ].[openaccessjournals.com]
- Bourne, There is no role for uterine curettage in the contemporary diagnostic workup of women with a pregnancy of unknown location, Human Reproduction, 21, 10, (2706), (2006).[doi.org]
- It is of utmost importance that the laboratory has its interest invested in infertility workups.[fertilitysolution.com]
- Procedures When the diagnosis is unclear, the following procedures may be performed: Culdocentesis Diagnostic dilation and curettage See Workup for more detail.[reference.medscape.com]
Microbiology
Clostridium Perfringens
- Although obstetric mortality due to complications of Clostridium perfringens infection is rare at present, we report a case of fatal clostridial sepsis secondary to a septic spontaneous abortion.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
- The positive rate of ACA in failure group before treatment was higher than the data of after treatment, and the difference was statistically significant (p 0.05).[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Traditional treatment consisting of surgical evacuation of the uterus remains the treatment of choice in unstable patients. Recent studies suggest that expectant or medical management is appropriate in selected patients.[aafp.org]
Prognosis
- Speert, H. ( 1954 ) Pregnancy prognosis following repeated abortion. Am. J. Obstet. Gynec. 68, 665. Spicer, C.C. & Lipworth, L. ( 1966 ) Regional and Social Factors in Infant Mortality.[cambridge.org]
- Liu et al ( 29 ) demonstrated that IGFBP-7 was downregulated in gastric cancer, and that it may be used as an indicator of poor prognosis in patients with gastric cancer.[spandidos-publications.com]
- Prognosis Threatened miscarriage is associated with risk of subsequent preterm delivery. Increased risk of further miscarriages. After three miscarriages, consider as recurrent spontaneous miscarriage.[patient.info]
Etiology
- Only etiologic studies were considered. Results. Fifteen studies met inclusion criteria.[doi.org]
- The data are still incomplete regarding the etiologic role, if any, of cytomegalovirus and the occurrence of spontaneous abortion.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pathophysiology
- All miscarriages are the result of a pathophysiologic reproductive event. It is the current challenge of medicine to find those underlying causes and, in some cases, underlying causes that are common occurrences are often overlooked.[naprotechnology.com]
- The pathophysiology of cervical insufficiency is still poorly understood.[doi.org]
- "This approach is currently criticized as our insight into the pathophysiology of miscarriage has improved, and it has become clear that there is lack of evidence to support the [efficacy] of bed rest in this condition."[medscape.com]
Prevention
- We conclude that anticoagulation without concurrent prednisone or aspirin may provide an alternative approach to prevention of habitual abortion in some women with lupus anticoagulants.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
