Case Reports Clinical TrialGnRH analogue in assessing chronic pelvic pain in women with residual ovaries.
To assess whether suppression of ovarian function by a gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRH) analogue could assist in the diagnosis of chronic pelvic pain in women with residual ovaries. ⋯ Suppression of ovarian function by GnRH analogues may allow differentiation of pelvic pain caused by the residual ovary syndrome from other causes. This would enable selection of cases likely to benefit from surgery, avoiding potentially difficult surgery in women who will gain little or no relief of symptoms with surgery. Only eight cases are reported and a randomised controlled trial would be required to determine the place of GnRH agonists in the treatment of the residual ovary syndrome.

Obstetric practice and the prevalence of urinary incontinence three months after delivery.
To examine the relation between obstetric factors and the prevalence of urinary incontinence three months after delivery. ⋯ Adverse risk factors for urinary incontinence at three months postpartum are vaginal delivery, obesity and multiparity (> or = 5). Caesarean section and daily antenatal PFE appear to be protective, although not completely so.
