The impact of contraceptive methods on the onset of symptomatic vulvovaginal candidiasis within the menstrual cycle

Article Abstract:

Oral contraceptives do not appear to have an effect on the timing of recurrent episodes of vaginal yeast infections. Evidence suggests that hormonal fluctuations play a role in recurrent episodes of yeast infection. Researchers reviewed the charts of 448 women with this problem and compared the timing of symptom onset in women using oral contraceptives with the timing in women using other forms of contraceptives. No differences were found. Moreover, other than fewer episodes beginning during the first few days of menses, symptom onset was evenly distributed throughout the rest of the menstrual cycle.

Conservative management options for patients with dysplasia involving endocervical margins of cervical cone biopsy specimens

Article Abstract:

Women with cervical cancer that extends into cone biopsy margins may not need repeat surgery if followed up closely. Researchers analyzed patients who did not receive repeat surgery after squamous cell cancer was found in the margins of the cervical cone biopsy. Abnormal cells were found in the margins of cervical cone biopsies in 21% of the cases. Thirty-one patients who underwent cervical cone biopsies were followed up with Pap smears, and none of them had any residual cancer. A subset of 24 women had a recurrence of disease within two years.

Recent use of condoms and emergency contraception by women who selected condoms as their contraceptive method

Article Abstract:

A study to determine how consistently indigent, predominantly Hispanic women who had previously selected male condoms as their contraceptive method had used condoms and emergency contraception (EC) during the 2 weeks before their family planning clinic visit and reasons for any nonuse is illustrated. A survey of self-selected condom users demonstrated high rates of inconsistent use of condoms and EC due to lack of perceived risk, lack of supplies and personal preferences.
