Abstract

To analyze the sexuality of Italian menopausal women.Cross-sectional study.Menopausal women consecutively observed during the study period in menopause clinics.Women were interviewed about their current and premenopausal sexual activity: sexual intercourse frequency and self-rated sexual desire, capacity for orgasm and sexual satisfaction were recorded. Women were defined as having poor sexual functioning if they had one or less sexual intercourses per week or answered 'absent/poor' to the questions about the sexual domains.Oral hormone therapy (HT) use (odds ratio (OR) 0.43 for desire, 0.54 for orgasm and 0.56 for overall sexual satisfaction, all p0.001) and transdermal HT (OR 0.38, 0.53 and 0.53, respectively, all p0.001) were significantly associated with lower risk of poor sexual functioning. Higher physical and mental component scores (PCS and MCS, range 0-100) of the Short Form-12 are inversely related to poor sexual functioning (OR by point 0.96, 0.95, 0.95 for PCS and 0.96, 0.96 and 0.95, for MCS, respectively, all p0.001). Pain during and symptoms after sexual intercourse were significantly related to desire (OR 1.96 and 1.78, respectively), orgasm (OR 2.22 and 2.06, respectively) and sexual satisfaction (OR 2.02 and 1.79, respectively). The partner's health problems were associated with low sexual intercourse frequency (OR 4.18, p0.001) and absent/poor overall satisfaction (OR 2.61, p0.001).This study shows that, in menopausal Italian women attending menopause clinics, sexual function is associated with the quality of sexual life in reproductive age, partner's health status, current quality of life, HT and occurrence of pain during and symptoms after sexual intercourse.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE To obtain data on correlates of climacteric symptoms in women around menopause attending menopause clinics in Italy. METHODS Since 1997 a large cross sectional study has been conducted on the characteristics of women around menopause attending a network of first level menopause outpatient's clinics in Italy. A total of 66,501 (mean age 54.4 years) women are considered in the present paper. RESULTS The odds ratios of moderate and severe hot flashes/night sweats were lower in more educated women and (for severe symptoms only) in women reporting regular physical activity. Depression, difficulty to sleep, forgetfulness and irritability tended to be less frequent in more educated women and (depression only) in women reporting regular physical activity. Parous women reported more frequently these symptoms. CONCLUSIONS This large study confirms in Southern European population that low education, body mass index and low physical activity are associated with climacteric symptoms. Parous women are at greater risk of psychological symptoms.

Abstract

Urethral diverticula is a rare pathology with an incidence varying between 0.3 and 6%. It is difficult to diagnose owing to the aspecificity of its clinical symptoms. The aim of this study was to evaluate the imaging techniques now available for its diagnosis.The sample consisted of 19 female patients aged between 20 and 53 years old undergoing diverticolectomy owing to urethral diverticula between 1980 and 1996 at the 4th Division of the Department of Urology at "La Sapienza" University of Rome. All patients underwent preoperative X-ray examinations (micturitional cystourethrography and P positive urethrography). A retrospective study was performed in order to evaluate the accuracy of the individual methods.Micturitional urethrocystography showed a sensitivity equivalent to 77% of cases. P positive urethrography showed a 85.7% accuracy rate. Lastly, transvaginal ultrasonography, which always showed the diverticular sac in all patients in which it was used, also highlighting multiple and divided diverticuli which were not visible using traditional radiology. The latter method is easy to use and well tolerated by patients; moreover, it shows the spatial relations of the diverticulum and allows the characteristics of periurethral tissues to be evaluated.The authors affirm that transvaginal ultrasonography is the first method of choice for the diagnosis of urethral diverticula.

Abstract

Two rare cases of cervico-urethral obstructive lesions are described, illustrating two typical examples of the twofold pathogenic possibilities of the affection. The first patient had a probably congenital cervico-trigonal cyst due to a ureteral bud in the bladder wall. The second case presented different symptoms and signs, and this together with histology findings suggested an acquired nature of the lesion from cystic transformation of an infected glandular structure. The published literature is reviewed and diagnostic difficulties are emphasized, particularly differentiation from a prostate median lobe lesion.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TBC) is a disease that is found throughout the world with a particularly high incidence in under developed countries. Genitourinary tuberculosis has been reported in 8-10% of all cases in developed countries and in 20% in Third World countries. This study aimed to describe a method of diagnosis applicable to so-called "closed" forms of tuberculosis affecting the urinary tract, namely those with negative results for KB bacteriological and culture assay, but in which suspected diagnosis based on clinical grounds and diagnostic procedures call for further analysis; these forms account for 10% of the total cases.A prospective study was carried out in order to tritade the antigenic fraction A60 of the group of thermostable macromolecular antigens (TMA); the latter belong to the pool of liposoluble antigens forming the cell wall and represent the main component of tuberculin and purified protein derivative (PPD). The identification and assay of antigen A60, which can stimulate both the antibody and cell-mediated response, was performed using the ELISA method in order to identify IgG and IgM specific antibodies (TB-test). Twenty-nine patients were selected (11 males, 18 females) with a clinical history of recurrent symptomatic manifestations of upper and lower urinary tract infections resistant to common antibiotic treatment. Urinary tests showed that 96.5% of patients presented an acid urinary pH associated with pyuria, and the urographic imaging revealed calico/pyelic lesions of the excretory tracts.Seven patients (24%) showed a form of urinary TBC of an areactive type (AA) or with intermediate reactivity (RI.AI); six patients (20.64%) showed reactive TBC or in the process of resolution; fifteen patients (51.6%) were negative to the TB-test, and after one year's follow-up still showed no positivity to assays for Koch's bacillus.The authors affirm that the TB-test, a rapid and relatively inexpensive diagnostic method, is a valid aid for the diagnosis of "closed" forms of urinary tract TBC.
