Mayer–Rokitansky–Küster–Hauser syndrome causes absence or underdevelopment of uterus and vagina, but women’s subjective experience remains understudied. This systematic review was conducted to examine the psychological and health-related quality-of-life outcomes of Mayer–Rokitansky–Küster–Hauser syndrome. In total, 22 articles identified through electronic search matched the inclusion criteria and were included in our review. Mayer–Rokitansky–Küster–Hauser syndrome may be associated with psychological symptoms and impaired quality of life, but especially with poor sexual esteem and genital image. Women may experience difficulties managing intimacy and disclosing to partners. Mothers may be perceived as overinvolved, with consequent negative emotions in women with the disease.

Back ground: Antioxidants are compounds capable to either delay or inhibit the oxidation processes which occur under the influence of atmospheric oxygen or reactive oxygen species. The cumulative and synergistic activities of the bioactive molecules present in plants are responsible for their enhanced antioxidant properties. The present study is aimed at the in vitro evaluation of the Total antioxidant capacity of the plant extracts of Kydia calycina aerial parts, Alysicarpus monilifer whole plant and Aglaia elaeagnoidea stem. Method: The FRAP method relies on the reduction by the antioxidants, of the complex ferric ion-TPTZ (2,4,6-tri(2-pyridyl)- 1,3,5-triazine). The binding of Fe2+ to the ligand creates a very intense navy blue colour. The absorbance can be measured to test the amount of iron reduced and can be correlated with the amount of antioxidants and their total antioxidant capacity.. Result: From the results it was found that, among the hydro alcoholic extracts evaluated, Kydia calycina plant extract showed highest FRAP value (1.41) and Alysicarpus monilifer showed lowest value (0.88). Conclusion: The total antioxidant potential is a relevant tool for investigating the relationship between plant derived antioxidants and pathologies induced by the oxidative stress. In the present investigation, comparative evaluation of Total antioxidant activity of various extracts of selected medicinal plants in comparison to Ascorbic acid exhibited significant results in vitro antioxidant assays.

Mullerian duct abnormalities are congenital malformations that are easily missed and can lead to incorrect diagnosis and further unnecessary operative procedures. In this case, a young female presented with cyclic pelvic pain that continued after previous surgical resection of an ovarian cyst. Further investigation with clinical examinations and multimodality imaging demonstrated ipsilateral renal agenesis and a Class III Mullerian duct anomaly (MDA) requiring a second operative procedure. It is believed that this case is a variant of the described obstructed hemi-vagina with ipsilateral renal agenesis (OVIRA) anomaly as pathologically there was ipsilateral renal agenesis and complete vaginal agenesis in our case. It is imperative to have a high clinical suspicion of mullerian duct abnormalities when encountering a patient with other urogenital anomalies. This will decrease the amount of misdiagnoses, guide appropriate surgical intervention, and decrease the risk of future reproductive complications.
