BACKGROUND Class 3 urogenital malformations are a rarely encountered in the clinical setting. The association with complex vascular malformations represent a challenge in diagnosis and intraoperative management with an enhanced degree of the complexity. CASE PRESENTATION Young female presented to the emergency department with pain in the left lower quadrant and unspecific abdominal symptoms t...

The goal of the study was to assess the prevalence of stress urinary incontinence in a group of elite female endurance athletes, as professional sport is one of the risk factors for stress urinary incontinence. SUI rates in the groups of female cross-country skiers and runners were compared to determine whether the training weather conditions like temperature and humidity influenced the prevale...

Objective. To present a case of isolated ascites secondary due to urogenital abnormalities (urogenital sinus) without any other prenatal ultrasound marker. Method. A 36-year-old woman with prenatal isolated ascites delivered a female baby, weighing 2.285 g; ascites was drained at birth and the baby underwent several episodes of urinary retention prior to undergoing X-ray investigations.

OBJECTIVES Female anorectal Chlamydia trachomatis (chlamydia) infections are common irrespective of recent anal sex. We explored the role of anorectal infections in chlamydia transmission and estimated the impact of interventions aimed at improved detection and treatment of anorectal infections. METHODS We developed a pair compartmental model of heterosexuals aged 15-29 years attending STI cl...

Disorders of sexual development (DSD) encompass a broad spectrum of urogenital malformations and are amongst the most common congenital birth defects. Although key genetic factors such as the hedgehog (Hh) family have been identified, a unifying postnatally viable model displaying the spectrum of male and female urogenital malformations has not yet been reported. Since human cases are diagnosed...

Introduction: Primary malignant melanomas (MM) of the female urogenital tract are extremely rare and aggressive neoplasms. The majority these neoplasms occur in postmenopausal women, originate from vulva vagina, involvement uterus, cervix, ovary is exceedingly uncommon. Case Presentation: We presented a patient with MM uterine first diagnosed punch biopsy lesion, which was distributed cervical ...

Urogenital schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease that can lead to bladder cancer. How urogenital schistosomiasis induces carcinogenesis remains unclear, although there is evidence that the human blood fluke Schistosoma haematobium, the infectious agent of urogenital schistosomiasis, releases estradiol-like metabolites. These kind of compounds have been implicated in other cancers. Aim...

The altered patterns of a microbial population colonizing an organ are increasingly recognized as relevant item in human disease pathogenesis. female urogenital tract is no exception, some vaginal microbiota patterns, named community state types (CSTs), and urinary urotypes (UTs), have been linked to viral, inflammatory, gestational diseases. Treating these conditions issue, antibiotic therapie...

 Background: Behçet’s disease (BD) is a multi-system inflammatory vascular disorder with auto immunity background. It is a genetic disease that may be affected by environmental factors. Behçet’s disease may involve different organs like urogenital, skin, eyes and gastrointestinal system. According to geographic area and genetic predisposition, prevalence of the disease is different. The aim of...
