[Effect of menstrual hygiene (tampons vs pads) and of the form of contraception on pH and bacterial infection of the vagina].

In menstrual hygiene vaginal tampons are preferred. Supposedly intravaginal application causes discharge. Healthy women using pads as well as tampons were examined before, during, and after menstruation. During two menstrual cycles vaginal pH was measured, bacteriological and mycological cultures were set up. The results indicated no changes of cervical-vaginal-secretion, nor was the pH changed. Taking the used contraceptive method into consideration, we found that intrauterine devices and oral contraceptives caused most of bacterial discharge and the expected shifting to alcaline pH. No increase of vaginal fungus was noted. The use of intravaginal tampons for menstrual bleeding therefore had no ill effects.

[Ultrasonic examination of the prostate, with rating apparatus for tumor recognition (author's transl)].

UNLABELLED: The prostate was examined by ultrasonic waves to diagnose tumorous changes of the organ. We scanned directly from the abdominal wall through the full bladder (transvesical). The classification of the resulting B-pictures is based on patterns that are specific for normal, adenomatous, or cancerous tissue. The results show that adenomas and carcinomas are recognizable in 85% of the examined patients by ultrasonic waves and can be differentiated from normal prostate tissue. KEYWORDS: Ultrasonics, Prostate, Recognition of Tumors.

[Effects of lowly dosed gestagen pill Exlutona on carbohydrate and fat metabolism (author's transl)].

Due to the precautions stopping of megestrol containing oral contraceptives the prescription of oral contraceptives has again become problematic. Oral contraceptives taken over a longer period can cause occasionally side effects which then cause a stopping of these medicaments. In order to get a survey of possible effects on the carbohydrate and fat metabolism 60 patients at the age of 16-26 years who had not been pregnant were observed over a longer period and their laboratory parameters (serum insulin, triglycerides, cholesterol, total lipids) were controlled. Significant changes were only found in the total lipids in the sense of a reduction of the total lipid level. A marked reduction was found with the triglycerides. Basing on these results and taking into consideration the occasionally occurring menstrual irregularity this lowly dosed gestagen pill Exlutona can be recommended not only to young girls but also to patients who often suffer from a relative contraindication because of adiposity, hypertension and subclinical diabetes.

[Feeling of sand in the eyes and hormonal contraceptives (authors transl)].

By questionnaire forms the relation between the admission of taking antibaby pills and the subjective feeling of having sand in the eyes was checked. Out of 2201 patients from our group, aged between 9 and 84 years, 372 (16.9%) took hormonal contraceptives, 1812 (82.3%) denied the taking of contraceptives and 17 (0.8%) could not say. From the 372 patients who took hormonal contraceptives 37 (10%) complained of having the feeling of sand in the eyes, the other 335 (90%) denied having a feeling of sand in the eyes. The frequency of a subjective feeling of sand in the eyes was in the individual age groups independent of the subjective statement, of "take hormonal contraceptives" (chi2-test; P greater than 10%).
