ALTERNATIVE SURGICAL METHODS

1. Myomectomy —
Abdominal or open myomectomy is a standard and accepted form of treatment of symptomatic fibroids in women who wish to retain their uterus and reproductive function. With technical advances in minimal access surgery, myomectomy can now be performed laparoscopically for intramural and subserous fibroids. Although laparoscopic myomectomy is technically difficult and takes more operating time, it offers significant benefits of less postoperative pain and shorter recovery time in comparison to open myomectomy. Recurrence of fibroids after laparoscopic myomectomy remains a concern. Hysteroscopic resection of submucous fibroid is indicated in symptomatic women presenting with heavy bleeding or reproductive failure. It is a day care procedure with very little risk.

2. Laparoscopic myolysis —
The procedure can be used as a minimally invasive alternative treatment to myomectomy in women who do not wish to have children and have large symptomatic fibroids. The procedure involves laparoscopic use of neodymium: yttrium-alluminium-garnet (ND : YAG) laser to coagulate the myoma. Alternative energy sources have subsequently been used, such as diathermy, and a cryoprobe has been used to carry out myolysis.

3. Uterine artery embolisation (UAE) —
It is rather a popular alternative treatment to myomectomy/hysterectomy. It has been observed to be safe and effective, has fewer major complications and a shorter hospital stay. The technique involves percutaneous insertion of an angiography catheter via a femoral artery into the ipsilateral or contralateral uterine artery, by an interventional radiologist assisting the gynaecologist. Polyvinyl alcohol particles 300-500 mm in size are injected into the vessel until blood flow ceases. Embolisation may affect myometrial integrity leading to uterine rupture during pregnancy.

4. Magnetic resonance guided percutaneous laser ablation —
It is a promising alternative minimally invasive therapy for fibroids. Under local anaesthesia, four magnetic resonance-compatible 18-gauge needles are placed within the target fibroid under MRI guidance. Laser fibres are threaded into the outer needle sheath until the laser tips are within the fibroid substance. An infrared di-iode laser is used for thermal ablation of the fibroid. A 41% reduction in mean fibroid volume was observed at 12-month follow-up. The quality of life and satisfaction scores were similar to those seen in women after hysterectomy.

5. Interstitial laser photocoagulation —
The principle is the same as for magnetic resonance guided laser ablation, but the laser fibres are placed in the fibroids under laparoscopic guidance. It can be performed by any gynaecologist-laparoscopist without the need for expensive equipment to monitor thermal changes.

6. High intensity focussed ultrasound (HIFU) energy —
This non-invasive approach of treatment of symptomatic fibroids has generated great interest. Under MRI guidance, an ultrasound beam of approximately 1.0-1.5 mHz delivered the energy directly to the targeted tissue for fibroid ablation. HIFU has an excellent safety profile. In contrast to more diffuse necrosis caused by UAE, the targeting ability of HIFU produces few adverse effects.

Hydrothermal Ablation

Hydrothermal ablation methods, based on their safety and efficacy, are being used as an alternative to hysterectomy in selected women presenting with heavy periods, provided future fertility is no longer an issue.

First generation methods —
These are endometrial resection, rollerball coagulation and endometrial ablation. These approaches afford shorter hospital stay, faster recovery and financial savings. Transcervical resection of endometrium (TCRE) using electrical or laser energy and a rectoscope is a simple procedure under local, epidural or general anaesthesia. The rollerball ablation is tried with a roller of 2 mm diameter sphere on the rectoscope wire which can roll freely on its axis and a unipolar coagulating current is applied to the endometrium21. Laser vaporisation with Nd: YAG laser is used to systematically destroy the superficial layers of endometrium. In expert hands, the results are impressive with a success rate of 93%, 74% become amenorrhoeic and 14% reported satisfactory results.

Second generation methods —
These techniques aim to induce permanent thermal damage to basal endometrium by applying heat/cold from a variety of sources eg, heated fluid, microwave, radiofrequency, cryocautery or laser energy. Hydrothermal ablation devices, introduced in 1994, have undergone several modifications. These devices are less operator-dependent and easier to use than first generation techniques.

ALTERNATIVES TO HYSTERECTOMY.


source:
PROF. S N Mukherjee




Uterine fibroids and DUB affects millions of women for which total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH) is performed by gynaecologists. It is a fact that all surgery carries risks. Before deciding in favour of hysterectomy, both the surgeons and patients should consider the treatment options or alternatives for the ailment that

In recent years, there has been a trend towards medical treatment of symptomatic fibroids largely because of changing attitudes of women towards child-bearing and uterine conservation. In this era of evidence-based medicine, a thorough assessment of available research data is necessary to determine the place of new therapies in clinical practice.

MEDICAL TREATMENT

1. Non Aggressive Management –
Wait and watch policy without doing any harm is a good norm in the management of some fibroids. Asymptomatic women or whose symptoms do not influence their general health or lifestyle may be kept under surveillance. Regular/periodic clinical follow-up and ultrasound scans need be done to detect any deterioration of symptoms or increase in fibroid size or volume so that proper timely care can be provided.

2. Antifibrinolytics —
Epsilon aminocaproic acid (EACA) and tranexamic acid as well as ethamsylate decrease blood loss by 50% in menorrhagic women. Although ethamsylate reduces capillary fragility, the exact mode of action is not clear. Caution is advised by Shaw10 before prescribing these drugs to women with history of, or risk factors from, thrombic disorders.

3. Non-steriodal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) —
Administration of prostaglandin synthatase inhibitors ie, NSAIDs can reduce bleeding in menorrhagic women11. NSAIDs decrease menstrual blood loss by an average of 30% when given to women complaining of heavy periods. These are most effective in reducing blood loss in ovulatory patients, specially when used with oral contraceptives, or they can be used alone in women with DUB who wish to conceive.

4. Progestogens, oestrogen-progestogen combination and combined oral contraceptive pills —
Hormones play a major role in the treatment of DUB in reproductive age. Norethisterone is preferred for cyclical therapy in younger women for its better effect. It serves to reduce blood loss and act as a contraceptive as well.

5. Danazol —
A synthetic derivative of ethisterone is more effective than norethisterone in controlling menorrhagia. There is a substantial reduction in menstrual blood loss and it provides time for consideration to patients awaiting hysterectomy. But, danazol has significant side-effects, expensive and its effect is temporary.

6. Laevonorgestrel releasing intra-uterine system / device —
It is used as a contraceptive and in conservative treatment of menorrhagia with considerable success. It can also be used in carefully selected women with menorrhagia caused by fibroids. It should only be offered to women whose uterus does not exceed 12 weeks in size without any distortion of the cavity. The results appear to be promising showing a reduction in blood loss as well as fibroid shrinkage12.

7. GnRH analogues —
These are commonly used to control fibroid-related menorrhagia. Used pre-operatively, they reduce fibroid volume and control excessive bleeding. Their use is normally limited to a maximum of six months because long term use is associated with menopausal adverse effects and bone density loss. GnRH agonists are valuable for short term use in DUB, particularly if the patient is infertile and keen to conceive. A combination of depot GnRH agonist and cyclical hormone therapy is a successful and acceptable treatment of DUB13.

removing-uterus-risks

Onehysterectomy every minute (costing over $5 billion): In United States, approximately 6,00,000 hysterectomies are performed each year [1] .
Hysterectomy is second only to caesarean section operation among women of reproductive age.
25-30% of American women have undergone hysterectomy by the age of 60 years.

In United Kingdom, women have a one in five chances of having a hysterectomy by the age of 55 years. [2]


source:
PROF. S N Mukherjee



Fifty-five per cent of hysterectomies were performed in women between the ages of 35 and 49 years old. The average age at hysterectomy is 44.5 years. [3]

WHY ARE HYSTERECTOMIES DONE?

1. Uterine fibroids and
2. Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding (DUB) are the two most common benign conditions for which total abdominal hysterectomy is performed by gynecologists.

Most hysterectomies are performed for non-cancerous conditions. In many of these, no disease in present and the term DUB is used to describe these cases. The indications of hysterectomy for benign gynaecological causes are numerous – common are uterine fibroids, DUB, uterine prolapse, endometrosis and pelvic pain. McPherson et al6 noted that the most common indication for surgery was DUB (46%), followed by fibroids (19%) and prolapse (19%), while other indications were endometriosis and adenomyosis (5%) and pelvic mass (3%).
Leiomyomas, DUB and chronic pelvic pain were responsible for 60% hysterectomies in reproductive aged women4. One report7 estimates that nearly 16% of Indian women between the ages 20 and 50 years have fibroids and they are mostly treated with hysterectomy.

WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF HYSTERECTOMIES?
Three main types of hysterectomy are now performed

1. abdominal,
   
2. vaginal and
3. laparoscopic.

IS HYSTERECTOMY ALWAYS SAFE AND NECESSARY?

Hysterectomy is associated with a long-term risk of death? Hysterectomy rarely leads to death during or just after surgery. The incidence of severe morbidity complicating hysterectomy is stated to be low.
Long-term outcomes of hysterectomy are important to patients

1. quality of life,
2. sexual function,
3. pelvic pain,
4. bowel and
5. urinary function and
6. vaginal prolapse.

In UK,

1. 67% hysterectomies are performed by abdominal route,
2. 30% by vaginal route and
3. 3% laproscopically.

Hysterectomy is a well established and relatively safe operation with an overall visceral damage rate being 0.5-2% and an overall mortality rate of 0.5 to 2 per 1000. Hysterectomy rarely leads to peri-operative death.

In a national large hysterectomy study in UK, Maresh et al9 observed that operative complication rate was 3.5% and postoperative complication rate was 9%. There was no operative death, but 14 deaths were reported within six-week postoperative period – a crude mortality rate soon after surgery of 0.38 per thousand.

Hysterectomy for

1. fibroids had highest risk of complications, operative 4.4% and postoperative 1.2%,
2. DUB carried risk of 3.6% and 1%,
3. prolapse of 2.7% and 1.1%,
4. endometrosis / adenomyosis of 3.1% and 0.8%, and
5. pelvic mass of 3.7% and 0.8%.

IS IT LOVE OR LUST?

How to find if it is TRUE LOVE or just LUST

THE TIMES OF INDIA

Is it love or lust?

21 Jul 2008, 0047 hrs
IST, MUMBAI MIRROR

Here are some signs to help you find out which of the two you are experiencing.

Love and lust are inextricably intertwined. Lust is ground zero for hormones — it's nature's way of bringing the opposite sexes together. In fact, without lust, it's doubtful that love between a man and a woman would have a chance to prosper at all; which is also the reason why sexless marriages fail.

However, love is the most ennobling of human emotions — transcendental, exalted and capable of engendering emotional states.

But how can you tell the difference between lust and love? Read on to find out.

It's lust if:

• You're totally focussed on looks and body
Even before you know your crush's name, you're already fantasising about them and drooling over their looks.

• You don't care about anything they have to say
It wouldn't make a difference to you if you never had a conversation with your crush. Furthermore, you don't bother to return calls promptly and you can easily go for days without talking to this person.

You don't mind checking out other hotties, or looking at other people, like friends, to satisfy your emotional needs.

• You spend most of your together time in 'action'
You make excuses not to spend time, unless it's in the confines of a room. And if they ask you for a favour, you say you're too busy. But if you have to be together and not have sex, you find them boring and look forward to doing something else like going shopping by yourself.

• You leave after sex
After having sex, you look for the easiest way to leave. No cuddling, no breakfast the next morning, just "I gotta go".

It's love if:

• You have great chemistry
You get lost in your conversations and the hours pass like minutes. You're more than willing to listen to each other and sex rocks too. The chemistry between you is remarkable.

• You like the way they look
Even if you catch them on a bad hair day and in the worst of their clothes, they still look gorgeous to you.

• You want to spend some time together
All you want to do is to be with them, while you're having sex and even when you're not.

• You see a future together
You experience the strange feeling that your life would be totally empty without that person. You tell your friends and family that he/ she may be 'the one', and you're even thinking about marriage.

• You introduce them to your friends and family
It becomes very important to you that your parents like him/ her, and that he/ she gets along with everyone close to you.

• You include them in all your plans
Whether you're going out with your friends or taking your dog for a walk, you want them there with you.

And if they're not there, you can't get them off your mind and sneak off to give them a quick "I miss you" phone call.

• You are more romantic
All of a sudden you find yourself listening to cheesy romantic songs and thinking of him/ her. You send them flowers and set up romantic evenings candlelit dinners.

THE TIMES OF INDIA
For school and college girls: What is a rave party?
Girls spend hours choosing a good dress. They ask their parents, brothers, sisters, friends how the dress looks. "Tell me really, does this dress suit me?" However, they do not check out if the boy friend really suits them. He could be life partner or life ruin-er as the stories below show.

VADODARA/AHMEDABAD:
The lure of a rave party was irresistible for Neelam Shah (name changed), a schoolgirl from Vadodara. It was a 'cool' thing to do, she was told by her friends. But once there, she got high on drugs and liquor and ended up having sex with a friend. When the high wore off, she went into a depression.

Psychiatrists have sounded an alarm over increasing number of minor girls landing up at rave parties and indulging in sex and drugs even before they step out of school.

Psychiatrist Yogesh Patel, who runs a de-addiction centre in Vadodara, says: "In the past fortnight, I have come across three cases from Vadodara and one from Ahmedabad of minor girls suddenly being exposed to drugs and sexual abuse at rave parties."

The girls have told him the parties are organised by adults from neo-rich families. They were lured by promises of careers in modelling and Bollywood by men claiming to have contacts in the glamour industry. Patel has also alerted Vadodara police commissioner Rakesh Asthana about the new trend. "It is a sensitive matter. We are looking for more details," Asthana told TOI.

Smart girls can find out which boy friends can be dangerous to their body and mind. Do you want to be a smart girl. Read True Stories!

In the last case, the girl's music teacher took her to a private party near Umeta Bridge where she was exposed to certain chemicals.

TOI spoke to a 25-year-old girl in Vadodara who comes to Ahmedabad to attend raves. On condition of anonymity, she said: "Schoolgirls turn up at raves out of curiosity and often get hooked on. For any first-timer, the free-flowing drugs and liquor can be a shocker. Many of them end up in bed after a high."

"I had treated a schoolgirl who attended a rave party without informing her parents. After ending up in bed with a friend, she was guilty and depressed and then came to me," says psychiatrist Dr Sandeep Shah.

"I've treated six schoolchildren, four of them girls, hooked to deadly drugs after going to a rave party. The girls took 'Ecstasy' tablets, after which they started physical relations with boys," says Ahmedabad-based doctor Vishwamohan Thakur, who runs a private de-addiction centre.
