Uterine inversion secondary to a pathological process of the myometrium is very rare. We report the case of a 48-year-old woman presenting with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) and mass like sensation in vaginal canal, in whom a study by MRI demonstrated a uterine inversion with submucosal pedunculated leiomyoma. She had undergone total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH) and ovaries were preserved bilaterally.

Congenital uterine anomalies or mullerian anomalies are prevalent in 0.4 to 10% of women in general and are often manifested by reproductive challenges like miscarriage, premature labor, premature rupture of membranes or malpresentation. Having a bilateral pregnancy in a bicornuate uterus is extremely rare, especially if it is a spontaneous conception.

Background: The association between abnormal cervical cytology and HIV infection status in pregnant women was evaluated to correlate with CD4 cell count, viral load and ART compliance in HIV positive pregnant patients with the presence of ASC-US, LSIL and HSIL.Methods: Cervical samples were collected at the Antenatal Clinic of Silchar Medical College and Hospital. An Ayre’s spatula was used to collect samples from the ectocervix and a cytology brush to collect samples from the endocervix.Results: Of a total of 75 antenatal attendees, 43 were HIV positive and 32 were HIV negative. Abnormal cytology (N=26, 60.46%) was more common in HIV positive group compared to the HIV negative group (N=7, 21.87%) with a p value of 10,000/mm3) and poor treatment follow up with ART.Conclusions: HIV positive pregnant women are more likely to have cervical lesions as compared to the HIV negative. This higher frequency of abnormal findings in PAP cytology in HIV positive pregnant women with higher viral loads suggest association between preinvasive cervical lesions and human immune deficiency.

Background: To compare the pregnancy rate in infertile couples with mild to moderate oligozoospermia receiving ovarian hyperstimulation and IUI, with that of medical management with CC.Methods: A total 120 couples with males having sperm concentration between 5 to 20 million/ml, normal serum gonadotropins and testosterone, and a presumptively fertile partner were enrolled in this prospective clinical study, during the study period of 19 months, 31st January 2019 till 1st September 2020. 120 couples were divided randomly into two groups A (n=60) and B (n=60). In group A, 60 couples were subdivided equally into 3 groups, each having 20 couples. Ovarian hyperstimulation protocols with IUI were used in different subgroups in group A. A total of 216 IUI cycles done for 60 couples. While in group B, 60 males with oligozoospermia were prescribed CC treatment 25mg/day on alternate days for 3 months.Results: Out of 60 patients in group A, 24 achieved pregnancy with a cycle fecundity rate of 4% in CC+IUI, 9.87% in HMG+CC+IUI and 21.67% in HMG+IUI. 5 out of 60 patients in group B achieved pregnancy with cycle fecundity rate of 2.78%.Conclusions: These data suggest that acceptable pregnancy rates can be achieved with IUI combined with ovarian hyperstimulation in males with oligozoospermia. The role of CC treatment in males with oligozoospermia in improving the pregnancy outcome is extremely mearge. Thus, owing to the cost effectiveness and non-invasive modality, IUI is preferred prior to other more invasive and potentially costly reproductive technologies in the treatment of male factor subfertility.
