a type of bleeding that occurs between amniotic membranes. It occurs when the
placenta partially detaches...

miscarriage is a common disease during early pregnancy, with a morbidity of 30%
to 40%, which could develop into a complete miscarriage or dystocia without
timely treatment. Many pathogenic factors contribute to the threatened
miscarriage, of which lacking progestogens due to the endocrine dysfunction of...

Gastroesophageal reflux disease
(GERD) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) are two pathological conditions
often strictly related, even if a clear relationship of causality has not been
demonstrated.
GERD is a frequent comorbidity in
IPF patients, as demonstrated using combined multichannel intraluminal
impedance-pH, despite being...
Key Information:
Progesterone is essential for the maintenance
of a healthy pregnancy. Progesterone is frequently prescribed to patients
presenting with per vaginal (PV) bleeding in early pregnancy and a history of

affect 10–15% of women of childbearing age and as much as 15–30% of those with
primary or secondary infertility.
Endometriosis associated pelvic
pain (EAPP) is the most common complaint of patients with endometriosis. It
occurs when endometrial cells proliferate outside the uterus, for...
Alimentary Pharmacology & Therapeutics:
Functional dyspepsia is
characterised by troublesome early satiety, fullness, or epigastric pain or
burning. It can easily be overlooked as the symptoms overlap with
gastro-oesophageal reflux disease and irritable bowel syndrome.
It affects 10% of the population
and is more prevalent in women....
Combined oral contraceptives (COC)
and progestogens are widely used for the treatment of endometriosis.

This study was carried out to
compare the effect of dienogest (2mg) vs a combined oral contraceptive
(levonorgestrel 0.1mg/ethinyl estradiol 0.02mg) on ovarian endometriomas, deep
infiltrating endometriosis (DIE),...
Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) are widely considered the
mainstay of medical treatment for GERD. Multiple publications have raised questions about adverse
events, raising doubts about the safety of long-term use and increasing concern
about overprescribing of PPIs. This guideline provides updated, evidence-based recommendations and
practical...
The Journal of Obstetric and Gynecological Research:
Miscarriage is the most common
cause of early pregnancy loss in the first 24 weeks and one of the most common
complications in early pregnancy. An estimated 15% to 20% of pregnancies will
end in a miscarriage, with 25% of women experiencing a miscarriage in their
lifetime. Women can b...

(adhesions, fibrosis) within the pelvis and other parts of the body.
It is a chronic disease associated
with severe, life-impacting pain during periods, sexual...
