Abstract

Objective: To compare transvaginal sonography (TVS) and office hysteroscopy in detecting uterine cavity pathology in subfertile women prior to in vitro fertilization (IVF).Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study included 104 subfertile women who underwent both TVS and office hysteroscopy at the Yasmin IVF Clinic, Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Kencana Hospital, Jakarta. Findings from TVS and hysteroscopy were compared with histopathological results for chronic endometritis, endometrial polyps, submucosal fibroids, and endometrial hyperplasia. Findings of uterine septum and intrauterine synechiae on TVS were compared with hysteroscopy as the reference standard. Results: Office hysteroscopy detected chronic endometritis in 16.3% of subjects, with a sensitivity of 33% and specificity of 68%, whereas TVS did not identify any cases. Submucosal fibroids were detected by both modalities with identical specificity (100%) and sensitivity (75%). Endometrial polyps were identified in 47.1% of cases by hysteroscopy and 15.4% by TVS. TVS demonstrated higher specificity (88% vs. 35%), although both modalities showed low sensitivity (15% for TVS vs. 50% for hysteroscopy). Both methods accurately detected endometrial hyperplasia, showing high specificity (97%). Uterine septum and intrauterine synechiae were detected exclusively by hysteroscopy. Conclusion: Both TVS and office hysteroscopy are effective in detecting submucosal fibroids and endometrial hyperplasia. However, only hysteroscopy can identify chronic endometritis, uterine septum, and intrauterine synechiae, while TVS demonstrates higher specificity for detecting endometrial polyps. Histopathology remains the gold standard, and office hysteroscopy provides important complementary diagnostic value prior to IVF.

Abstract

HIGHLIGHTS More than half of the female students experienced moderate to severe dysmenorrhea, which significantly affected their exam performance, concentration, school participation, and daily activities. Early management and supportive interventions are essential to reduce the negative academic and functional impact of dysmenorrhea among adolescent students.   ABSTRACT Objective: This study aimed to assess how dysmenorrhea affects exam performance, concentration, school participation, absenteeism, and daily activities among female high school students in Jakarta. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Senior High School 61 Jakarta and involved students from the first and second grades. Eligible participants were those who had experienced menarche, while students with regular analgesic use or chronic medical conditions that could affect academic performance were excluded. A modified questionnaire assessed menstrual perceptions and menstrual impact. Demographic data were presented, and relationships between dysmenorrhea and exam performance, concentration, school participation, absenteeism, and daily activities were analyzed using Spearman’s rank correlation. Results: A total of 130 participants were included in the study; regular menstrual cycles were reported by 70.8% of participants, 72.3% had normal cycle lengths, and 80% had normal menstrual duration. Moderate to very severe dysmenorrhea was reported, most commonly described as a squeezing sensation (52.3%), and 93% of female students perceived dysmenorrhea as normal. Dysmenorrhea affected exam performance (19.2%), concentration (11.5%), school participation (32.3%), and daily activities (15.4%), while absenteeism was mostly absent (86.9%). Pain intensity of dysmenorrhea showed significant negative correlations with exam performance (r = 0.181, p = 0.040), concentration (r = 0.312, p < 0.001), school participation (r = 0.227, p = 0.009), absenteeism (r = 0.230, p = 0.009), and daily activities (r = 0.242, p = 0.006). Conclusion: Dysmenorrhea is highly prevalent among adolescent students and significantly affects their academic performance, concentration, school participation, and daily activities, emphasizing the importance of early management and supportive interventions to minimize its impact on overall well-being.
