An examination of 106 women with genital infection at the Khanh Son district, Khanh Hoa province was carried out, the results showed that: 39,6% were infected by Candida albicans and 15,1% of Trichomonas vaginalis.

2534 women with ages of 18- 45 in 6 different areas were examined and tested. The results have shown that the rate of genital tract infection was different from one to another: urban of Ha Noi: 41,48%, suburb of Ha Noi: 59,35%, Thai Binh: 56,98, Ha Nam 58,39%, suburb of Hai duong: 52%, mountaine of Nghe an: 64,07%. The most common etiology was candida (14,7 - 42,8%) and G. vaginalis (8,7- 28,74%). The others were staphylococus aureus, E.coli, stretococcus group D and Enterobacilli.

BACKGROUNDNo national research on maternal and fetal complications and outcomes has been carried out in the mainland of China in recent years. This study was to provide a scientific basis for better control of obstetrical and neonatal diseases and better allocation of medical resources by analyzing the epidemiological characteristics of obstetrical diseases in the mainland of China.

METHODSHospitalized obstetrical cases from 19 tertiary and 20 secondary hospitals in 14 provinces (nationally representative) during the period January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011 were randomly selected. The general condition, pregnancy complications, and perinatal outcomes of the patients were studied.

RESULTSThe top five medical and surgical complications of pregnant women in the mainland of China were anemia (6.34%), uterine fibroids (2.69%), thyroid disease (1.11%), thrombocytopenia (0.59%), and heart disease (0.59%). The incidences of premature rupture of membranes (PROM), preterm birth, prolonged pregnancy, hypertensive disorders complicating pregnancy (HDCP), multiple pregnancy, intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP), placenta previa, placental abruption, postpartum hemorrhage, and amniotic fluid embolism were 15.27%, 7.04%, 6.71%, 5.35%, 1.57%, 1.22%, 1.14%, 0.54%, 3.26% and 0.06%, respectively. The incidences of anemia and prolonged pregnancy were significantly lower in tertiary than secondary hospitals (P < 0.001), whereas the incidence of uterine fibroids, thyroid diseases, thrombocytopenia, heart disease, PROM, preterm birth, HDCP, multiple pregnancy, ICP, placenta previa, and placental abruption were significantly higher in tertiary than secondary hospitals (P < 0.001). The cesarean section (CS) rate was 54.77%. The newborn sex ratio was 119:100, and 1.03% of the neonates were malformed. The percentages of low birth weight and fetal macrosomia in full-term babies were 2.10% and 7.09%, respectively.

CONCLUSIONSThe incidence of some obstetrical diseases is still high in the mainland of China. The CS rate is much higher than World Health Organization recommendations, in which CS delivery by maternal request (CDMR) accounted for a large proportion. The government should propose solutions to reduce CS rate, especially the rate of CDMR. Most obstetrical complications have higher incidence in tertiary hospitals compared with secondary hospitals. It is important to manage the health of pregnant women systematically, especially those with high-risk factors.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the awareness of unmarried Korean women about the relationship between fertility and age with respect to the need to consider oocyte freezing to preserve fertility in cases of delayed marriage and pregnancy. METHODS: Our questionnaires were distributed to a total of 350 unmarried women under 40 years old, consisting of 250 visiting patients and 100 medical workers in Oct. 2010 and Dec. 2010. The questionnaire was composed of 25 multiple choice items as follows: Part I, demographic characteristics; Part II, past history and family history for gynecologic disease; Part III, planning for marriage and pregnancy; Part IV, awareness about fecundity and pregnancy complication according to female age; Part V, willingness toward oocyte freezing for social reasons. RESULTS: The mean age of the women who responded was 29.5 years (range 17~40 years). Eighteen percent answered “very interested” and 23% answered “interested” to the question “Do you want the opportunity to preserve your oocytes to prepare for delayed childbirth for social reasons?” while 47% answered “not very interested” and 11% answered “not at all interested”. There was no statistical difference in age, the number of medical worker, history of gynecologic disease, and familial history of premature ovarian insufficiency between positive responder (n=144, 41.4%) and negative responder (n=204, 58.6%) toward oocyte freezing. CONCLUSION: Even though oocyte freezing is not a widespread procedure in Korean society, oocyte cryopreservation in unmarried women suggests a practical alternative to preserving fertility if its safety, practical effectiveness, and convenience are ensured and communicated to women.

The causes of abortion are complicated and variable. Genetic abnormalities, immune disorders, endocrine disorders, and sperm abnormalities are the most common etiologies. Other risk factors include infections, genital malformation and diseases, systemic diseases, environmental factors, psychiatric problems, fections, genital malformation and diseases, systemic diseases, environmental factors, psychiatric problems, surgery, and maternal trauma. In forensic assessment of abortion and its etiology, trauma-induced abortion can only be determined after exclusion of all other non-traumatic causes.

With rapid social development rhythm, the incidence of gynecological diseases gradually rise. Traditional Chinese medicine has made irreplaceable position in the treatment of gynecological disease. Due to the characteristics of gynecological diseases, the syndrome differentiation and treatment has unique characteristics. In this paper, according to menstrual disease, leukorrheal diseases, pregnancy diseases, puerperal diseases and miscellaneous diseases in order, combining documents discussion and old doctors of traditional Chinese medicine treatment of gynecological disease experiences, illustrate the key points of drug selection in the treatment process. We can get a revelation that appropriate choice of tradition Chinese medicine is an indispensable part for healing effects. Through the analysis of characteristics of drugs, we can understand the feature of each period in disease of department of gynecology, increase the ability of usinig traditional Chinese medicine and improve the level of clinical treatment.
