Studies from Research Hospital in the Area of Medical Research Described

2012 DEC 31 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at OBGYN & Reproduction Week -- Fresh data on Medical Research are presented in a new report. According to news reporting originating in Istanbul, Turkey, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, "Vaginal leiomyomas are rare benign solid tumours of the vagina. They can cause mechanical dystocia, which is a common problem in obstetrics leading to serious maternal and perinatal complications."

The news reporters obtained a quote from the research from Research Hospital, "Here we describe a patient with a vaginal leiomyoma diagnosed during the mid-trimester that could have caused dystocia. This 22-year-old woman presented with a vaginal mass and leaking vaginal fluid during pregnancy. On examination, a prolapsed, pedunculated mass, measuring 5 x 3 x 4 cm was detected in the anterior vaginal wall. Via a midline incision, the mass was easily enucleated and removed. Transvaginal surgical enucleation of the vaginal leiomyoma is usually curative and recommended as the initial treatment of choice to prevent for dystocia."

According to the news reporters, the research concluded: "Such treatment is indicated when the tumor is a potential obstacle to normal labour."
