My debilitating endometriosis symptoms – Kate ’ s story
Hi, I’m Kate, 39, married with no children. I had always suffered from heavy and painful periods but this had mostly been managed by taking the combined pill. My periods remained heavy and I suffered from some flooding but this was manageable with planning! Approximately 7 years ago my periods became worse and I started to experience more symptoms such as regular and frequent abdominal pain, random bleeding, bloating, very painful intercourse and things just didn’t feel right. Anyway, I went to the Dr’s who straight away suggested that it sounded like I had endometriosis and referred me to a consultant. A...

11 Weeks Post Hysterectomy – Karen’s Story
Hi my name is Karen. I am 39 years old and had an abdominal hysterectomy on 6th September due to large fibroids and very low iron. All seemed well when I woke up. I was discharged 48hrs after my op (Thursday) By the Sunday afternoon I was starting to feel very unwell and had pains in my leg and the whole of my tummy being black with bruises up to my belly button (if I could upload a photo I would).

At 10 pm that evening I had a phone call from the doctor to inform me my bloods had dropped again f...

Spinal cord infarction in diabetic pregnancy: A case report
Abstract Spinal cord infarction (SCI) is uncommon as compared to cerebral stroke. Moreover, SCI during pregnancy is rare. Here, we report a case of SCI in diabetic pregnancy, properly diagnosed, promptly treated, and a good prognosis achieved. A 38‐year‐old, pregnant woman, para 1, with type 1 diabetes mellitus on insulin since 14 years of age, was admitted to our hospital for paresthesia and numbness in the lower left side of the body, with movement disturbances. On the basis of the temporal profile of the onset and the multiple resonance imaging scans, SCI was diagnosed. Steroid pulse therapy and low‐dose aspirin a...

508: Readmission following discharge on labetalol or nifedipine for management of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy
Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) confer significant maternal risks postpartum including risks of seizure, stroke and higher rates of postpartum readmission. Following delivery, women with blood pressure elevations are treated primarily with labetalol or nifedipine but it is unknown if one agent is more effective for blood pressure control following hospital discharge. We sought to compare rates of postpartum readmission and adverse maternal outcomes based on discharge on labetalol versus nifedipine.

441: The burden of preeclampsia and potentially life threatening complications (PLTC) in high versus low- income countries
In Africa, nearly 1 in 10 maternal deaths are due to hypertensive disorders. In the U.S., dangerously high blood pressures are leading causes of maternal mortality/stroke, with 60% of deaths being preventable. Preeclampsia (PE)- associated morbidity and mortality is due to poor disease recognition and delay in diagnosis. Misfolded proteins are present in the urine of women with PE, and disease severity correlates with intensity with which they bind Congo red dye (congophilia). Given the differences in health care infrastructure and quality of care, we compared the frequency and spectrum of PE severity at triage evaluation ...

Hysterectomy for men – Richard ’ s story
My wife (now 65) has had a number of minor medical problems, both mental and physical, especially after reaching 40, and when she started having panic attacks, for which no-one could provide a positive reason or cure, she finally resorted to drugs, such as sertraline, much against her natural inclination. A known side-effect of this is increased weight.  My wife has never been really overweight, but, in common with so many women, is very sensitive about the subject (perhaps more so because I CANNOT put on weight!), so when she started to increase in girth, I was reluctant to mention it, for fear of upsetting her even more...

When angels catch us – Madeline ’ s hysterectomy story
How do we know there are angels? Do we have our own special guardian angels watching over us? How many times have we almost entered into danger only to change our minds at the last minute? Is this simply being lucky or has there been an unconscious inner voice warning us? I have truly believed for a long time that there are God’s angels watching over us and over the years there have been occasions when I have had warnings of some impending doom and thankfully avoided tragedy. Sometimes I’ve just had feelings or a “sixth sense” and the negative event still happened but somehow I had felt that premonition. Wa...
