This study aimed to evaluate the presence of anovulation in adolescents with primary dysmenorrhea (PD). Prospective cohort study. Hacettepe University Children's Hospital, Adolescent Medicine outpatient clinic between September 2018 and September 2019. Healthy female adolescents (between 11 and 18 years of age), with regular menstruation with a score of 1-3 according to the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) and grade 0 (no limitation for daily activities, no analgesic need and systemic symptoms) according to the Verbal Multidimensional Scoring System (VBSS) were recruited as a control group. The participants who met the diagnostic criteria for PD with an NRS score ≥4, had analgesic need in at least the last 3 menstrual cycles, had defined moderate-to-severe PD according to VMSS (Grade 2-3), and had analgesic need every time were accepted as the PD group. For the determination of ovulation, suprapubic pelvic ultrasound and luteal SP levels were used. The first day of menstruation (DOM) was accepted as theicantly higher in the ovulatory group (P = .0017). When the distribution percentages of SP levels were evaluated among all participants, the median value was 5.5 ng/mL. Contrary to classical information, anovulatory cycles are not rare in PD patients, and pain severity is at the same level in these cycles. The pathogenesis of PD in adolescents requires further study.Contrary to classical information, anovulatory cycles are not rare in PD patients, and pain severity is at the same level in these cycles.

The FP program operates under prospective research protocols approved by the Mayo Clinic Institutional Review Board (IRB). The FP program is a multidisciplinary effort between pediatric gynecology, reproductive endocrinology, pediatric urology, pediatric surgery, and laboratory medicine. The FP program enrolls patients between 0-17 years of age who have been diagnosed with a fertility-threatening condition and/or are scheduled to undergo gonadotoxic treatment. FP is offered in the form of ovarian tissue cryopreservation (OTC) and testicular (TTC) tissue cryopreservation. The outcome measures are the safety of the procedure and results of patient surveys conducted by phone using a standard list of questions to assess attitudes towards FP. To date, we have enrolled 38 OTC and 37 TTC patients. The median age (range) of OTC and TTC patients was 11 years (0.83-17 years) and 10 years (0.92-17 years) at the time of enrollment, respectively. Childhood cancers currently represent 88% of the fertility-threatening diagnoses. Meanwhile, patients with non-malignant conditions include those with gender dysphoria, aplastic anemia, and Turner's syndrome. To date, no serious adverse events (SAEs) have been reported following surgery. According to n = 34 one-year follow-ups, 100% of parents felt that FP was a good decision. Consistent with the literature, our data suggests FP is safe and improves the quality of care provided to pediatric patients for their fertility-threatening diagnoses and/or treatments.

Amenorrhea is a goal of many transgender and gender diverse adolescent and young adult (TGD AYA) patients on testosterone gender-affirming hormone therapy (T-GAHT). Breakthrough bleeding can contribute to worsening gender dysphoria. Our objective was to evaluate breakthrough bleeding in TGD AYA on T-GAHT. Institutional review board-approved retrospective cohort. Tertiary-care children's hospital. TGD AYA on T-GAHT >1 year. None; observational. Presence of, and risk factors for, breakthrough bleeding. Of the 232 patients who met inclusion criteria, one-fourth (n = 58) had 1 or more episodes of breakthrough bleeding, defined as bleeding after more than 1 year on T-GAHT. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/cynarin.html In comparing patients with breakthrough bleeding to those without, there were no significant differences between age of initiation, body mass index (BMI), race/ethnicity, testosterone type used, use of additional menstrual suppression, serum testosterone, or estradiol levels. Patients with breakthrough bleeding patients were on T-GAHT longer (37.3 ± 17.0 vs 28.5 ± 14.6 months, P < .001) and were more likely to have endometriosis (P = .049). Breakthrough bleeding began at a mean of 24.3 ± 17.2 months after T-GAHT initiation. Of those with breakthrough bleeding, 46 (79.3%) had no known cause, 10 (17.2%) bled only with missed T-GAHT doses, and 2 (3.4%) bled only when withdrawing from concomitant menstrual suppression. No breakthrough bleeding management method was found to be superior. Breakthrough bleeding is relatively common (25%) on T-GAHT despite early amenorrhea. Most cases do not have an identifiable cause. Our data did not show superiority of any 1 method for managing breakthrough bleeding on T-GAHT.Breakthrough bleeding is relatively common (25%) on T-GAHT despite early amenorrhea.

Few studies examining predictors of twinning consider younger mothers who do not use assisted reproductive technologies (ART). Higher parity is associated with greater odds of having a twin birth, but it is unclear whether this association is present among young women. We tested the hypothesis that the rates and odds of twinning would increase with parity among teenage and young adult mothers who did not use ART. We conducted a retrospective, population-based cohort study using 2009-2018 United States National Vital Statistics data on 11,383,370 (58.94% first, 41.06% repeat) births to adolescent and adult women aged 15-24 years. None. Rates and odds of twinning by parity among teenage (15-19 years) and young adult (20-24 years) mothers. The adjusted twin birth rate among first-time teenage mothers was 13.28 per 1000 births compared to 16.62 twins per 1,000 births among repeat teenage mothers. This difference by parity was present but smaller among mothers aged 20-24 (18.31 vs 21.44 twins per 1000 births for first-time and repeat young adult mothers, respectively).
