COUNTERPRESSURE FOR DYSMENORRHEA PAIN IN TEENAGERS

Background: Teenager is a one of development stages in the life cycle. Female teenagers are often marked by the menstrual phase. Menstruation is often accompanied by pain or what is called dysmenorrhea. Dysmenorrhea is often experienced by female teenagers and it can interfere with the activity and ability of concentration in learning that results in a decrease in performance in school. Counterpressure can be used as a solution to overcome the problem of dysmenorrhea. The counterpressure massage technique is applying strong pressure using the heel of the hand by clenching the lumbar region where there is a uterine sensory nerve that runs with the sympathetic uterus entering the spinal cord through the thoracic nerve 10-11-12 which can increase the endorphin hormone. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of counterpressure massage on dysmenorrhea pain in high school students.Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of counterpressure massage on dysmenorrhea pain in high school students.Method: The research design used was quasi experiment (one group pre-posttest design). The location of this research was Kartika IV Senior Hight School in Surabaya. The number of respondents was 30 respondents taken by consecutive sampling technique. The instrument was using NRS observation method by Hjermstad (2011).

Paeonol alleviates primary dysmenorrhea in mice via activating CB2R in the uterus

Background and purposePrimary dysmenorrhea is the most common gynaecologic problem in menstruating women and is characterized by spasmodic uterine contraction and pain symptoms associated with inflammatory disturbances. Paeonol is an active phytochemical component that has shown anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects in several animal models. The aim of this study was to explore whether paeonol is effective against dysmenorrhea and to investigate the potential mechanism of cannabinoid receptor signalling. Experimental approachDysmenorrhea was established by injecting oestradiol benzoate into female mice. The effects of paeonol on writhing time and latency, uterine pathology and inflammatory mediators were explored. Isolated uterine smooth muscle was used to evaluate the direct effect of paeonol on uterine contraction. Key resultsThe oral administration of paeonol reduced dysmenorrhea pain and PGE2 and TNF-α expression in the uterine tissues of mice, and paeonol was found to be distributed in lesions of the uterus. Paeonol almost completely inhibited oxytocin-, high potassium- and Ca2+-induced contractions in isolated uteri. Antagonists of CB2R (AM630) and the MAPK pathway (U0126), but not of CB1R (AM251), reversed the inhibitory effect of paeonol on uterine contraction. Paeonol significantly blocked L-type Ca2+ channels and calcium influx in uterine smooth muscle cells via CB2R. Molecular docking results showed that paeonol fits well with the binding site of CB2R. Conclusions and implicationsPaeonol partially acts through CB2R to restrain calcium influx and uterine contraction to alleviate dysmenorrhea in mice. These results suggest that paeonol has therapeutic potential for the treatment of dysmenorrhea.

COMPARISON OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF TRANSCUTANEOUS ELECTRICAL NERVE STIMULATION (TENS) VS. INTERFERENTIAL THERAPY (IFT) FOR RELIEF OF PAIN IN PRIMARY DYSMENORRHEA

Background: Dysmenorrhea or pain during menstruation is commonly seen in young women and largely impacts their quality of life. Pain medications are largely used to tackle this situation; however, they have side effects with regular use. Safe, effective pain-relieving modalities are crucial to help women cope with this situation. There is extensive literature proving the effectiveness of TENS for relieving the pain in primary dysmenorrhea; however, literature proving the same for IFT is sparse. Thus this research aims to investigate and compare the effectiveness of both the modalities in primary dysmenorrhea.Methods: 30 samples(17-25) were included in this study. Using the Simple Random Sampling method, the subjects were divided into two groups. One group received therapy through TENS(80-120 Hz, 20mins, Intensity as per tolerance) and the other through IFT(4PV,80-150HZ, 20 mins, Intensity as per tolerance). Electrical stimulation was given in the region of maximal pain. The Intensity of pain before and after treatment was recorded using the Numerical Pain Scale. The duration of pain relief and the need for analgesic post the therapy was also noted.Results: TENS and IFT are both extremely effective for the relief of pain in primary dysmenorrhea (P<0.0001). There is no significant difference in their effect on the comparison (P=0.422). And most of the subjects in both groups did not need analgesics after therapy.Conclusion: Both TENS and IFT are equally effective in the relief of pain in primary dysmenorrhea. However, tolerance to IFT currents is better among young women as they are medium frequency currents.

Body Mass Index and Dysmenorrhea in Female Teenagers

Dysmenorrhea is a problem experienced by more than 50% of women in each country. Pain occurs in the lower abdomen, sometimes accompanied by nausea, vomiting, dizziness and mood changes. This condition causes an increase in absenteeism in school, disruption in learning activities that affects achievements in academic and nonacademic fields. One factor that is often associated with the incidence of dysmenorrhea is an abnormal body mass index (overweight and underweight). This study aims to determine the relationship of body mass index with the degree of pain menstruation (dysmenorrhea) in young women in SMA Negeri 21 Makassar. This research is a descriptive cross-sectional study involving 110 respondents based on the purposive sampling method and carried out in February-March 2019. The data taken is primary data through measurements of body mass index based on body weight and height. After that, a normal, overweight and underweight grouping is done. Measurement of menstrual pain level is done using Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Data analysis was performed using Chi square test and the value of p = 0.00 was obtained. From this results, significant conclusions can be drawn because the value of p < 0.05 indicates that there is a significant relationship between body mass index and degree of menstrual pain (dysmenorrhoea) in young women in SMA Negeri 21 Makassar.

2026 Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Adenomyomectomy is a Feasible Option of Uterus-Sparing Surgery: Adenomyomectomy Cohort Study

Study Objective To compare surgical outcomes of open adenomyomectomy and robot-assisted laparoscopic adenomyomectomy. Design Cohort study. Setting Fibroid Center of tertiary university hospital. Patients or Participants Among adenomyomectomy cohort, forty-two patients who underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic adenomyomectomy and 16 patients who underwent open adenomyomectomy. Interventions N/A Measurements and Main Results All 58 patients with severe secondary dysmenorrhea and pelvic pain visited Seoul St. Mary's hospital between 2012 and 2017. Eighty-one percent of patients were nulliparous woman (47 patients among 58 patients). Adenomyosis was diagnosed by pelvic ultrasonography. To determine the exact location and size of the lesion and its relation to the uterine cavity, pelvic MRI was performed in all patients. Their mean age, pre-operative CA-125 level, hemoglobin changes after surgery, estimated blood loss were comparable between two groups. The size of adenomyosis was larger in open than robot surgery group. Operation time was longer in robot than open surgery group (open vs robot 244.8±44.2 vs 281.8±77.1 min). Percentage of packed RBC transfusion during surgery was higher in open than robot surgery group (open vs robot 50% vs 14.3%). Hospital stay was shorter in robot than open surgery group (open vs robot 6.1±1.1 vs 2.7±0.7 days). All patients discharged without major complication. Conclusion Adenomyosis is a common benign gynecologic disease, however, conservative surgical option for preserving fertility is challenging. Adenomyomectomy is a conservative surgical option for preserving fertility. Comparing with open surgery, robot-assisted laparoscopic adenomyomectomy is a feasible option of uterus-sparing surgery using minimally invasive approach.

Complementary exams showed deep endometriosis on the posterior compartment, myomatosis uterus with 848cc of volume and an 139cc cystic right ovarian mass, which generated an extrinsically compression on the right ureter and ureterohydronephrosis. Interventions Pre operative management consisted in double J catheter in the right ureter and uterine artery embolization with prophylactic antibiotic 3 months before the surgery. Final complementary exams showed an uterine volume reduction to 313cc. Laparoscopic treatment consisted of inspecting pelvic and abdominal cavities. Right ovarian mass was adhered to the posterior compartment including ovarian fossa, rectovaginal septum and right uterossacral ligament. Strategy consisted of right ovariectomy, Latsko and Okabayashi space dissection to identify bilateral hypogastric nerves and ureters. After identifying anatomy landmarks, endometriotic lesions were removed from uterossacral ligament and ureter. Rectovaginal septum was dissecated and bowel superficial lesion identified. Hysterectomy and bilateral salpingectomy were performed as treatment. Linear stapler was used to remove bowel endometriotic lesion. Ureterohydronephrosis became absent and controlled and Double J catheter was removed right after the surgery. Double J catheter right after surgery. Conclusion Pre operative strategies are very important to a successful surgery. Double J catheter is a temporary intervention to prevent ureteres complications. Uterine artery embolization reduced more than 50% of the uterine volume. These strategies facilitated the access to the pelvis and promoted excellent laparoscopic view to completely treat myomatosis and deep endometriosis.
