Abstract

Background

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is highly prevalent among women especially in reproductive age group but it is found also in other age groups. Bacterial vaginosis is a great health concern in India because of its complications. Most of the healthcare centers in India are not well-versed in advance diagnostics for BV.

Aim

To assess the utility of conventional methods for diagnostic evaluation of BV in the patients of different age groups.

Materials and methods

In this 1 year cross-sectional study, the vaginal swabs were collected from women with signs and symptoms of BV like complaints of vaginal discharge, odor, itching, back ache, etc. attending the department of obstetrics and gynecology of a tertiary care hospital in Western UP. These specimens are subjected to vaginal pH determination and are sent to department of microbiology for Gram stain, wet-mount and whiff test. Amsel's criteria were used for confirming BV.

Results

A total of 206 women included in the study, n = 63 (29.61%) were found to be having BV based on Amsel's criteria. The mean age of the females were found to be 30.77 years. The most affected age group was found to be 26 to 35 years, n = 33 (54%). The vaginal pH was significantly higher in n = 61 (29.61%) women with BV. Vaginal discharge was prevalent in n = 108 (52.43%) women. Presence of clue cells and positive whiff test were found to be in n = 63 (30.58%) and n = 61(29.61%).

Conclusion

The characteristics of vaginal discharge, vaginal pH determination, clue cells and whiff test is relatively easier conventional methods for diagnosis of women with BV where better facilities are lacking. These tests are suitable for screening women with BV and in formulating the treatment to check the complications.

Role of Silicone Stenting in Endoscopic Dacryocystorhinostomy: A Comparative Study

[Year:2016] [Month:January-March] [Volume:1] [Number:1] [Pages:3] [Pages No:4 - 6]

   DOI: 10.5005/jp-journals-10050-0002  |  Open Access |  How to cite  | 

Abstract

Objective

To evaluate the role of using silicone stent in endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) and compare the results with endoscopic DCR without silicone stenting.

Design

Prospective study, interventional type, randomized design and comparative analysis.

Materials and methods

The study was done in Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Government Medical College and Dr Susheela Tiwari Hospital, Haldwani, Uttarakhand. We included 30 patients in the study presenting with epiphora with or without mucocele and congenital cases of dacryocystitis and nasolacrimal duct (NLD) blockage were included in the study.

All patients were divided into two groups. First one undergoing endoscopic DCR and silicone stent was used in all cases and second one underwent endoscopic DCR and no stent was used. Postoperative assessment was carried out at the end of 1st, 3rd, 6th and 10th week and the role of silicone stent was subjected to compare.

Result

Use of silicone stent was not improving the results and risk of failure of the surgery had increased with stent due to granulation formation in the lacrimal sac region.

Apart from that, foreign body reactions in the form of irritation, pain were seen with stent. It also added the cost of surgery without giving much benefit to the patient.
