[Diagnostic methods in endometriosis].

The overall accuracy of preoperative diagnosis is approximately 20% with a range of 4-83%. We investigated 100 women at the age between 27-61 years, operated with histologically proven endometriosis and we made an attempt to analyse some of the diagnostic methods. Abrasio probatoria was made in 17 of the operated women prior to operation. The hystological result from the abrasive material was not indicative for the presence of endometriosis. Ultrasound examination was made on 24 operated women with endometriosis, but no one diagnosed endometriosis despite the description by many authors of characteristic ultrasound picture of endometriosis. Hysterosalpingography was made in 3 women with the endometriosis but despite the specific x-ray picture for endometriosis they were not diagnosed correctly. These data support the opinion of some authors that these diagnostic methods are not specific for endometriosis.

[Endometriosis--the features of its clinical characteristics].

The authors present the clinica; characterization to 100 women that operate in the Institute in Obstetrics and Gynaecology with histological diagnosis endometriosis, compare with 20 women, operate on the occasion of myoma uteri. The authors find that endometriosis happen more often than endometriosis externa (69%). The both most frequently are in combination with myoma uteri (68% and 52%). In the combination with Ca are a little (3%) with Ca corporis uteri. Sterility has in 14% on cases with endometriosis interna and twice more (32%) in the cases with endometriosis externa. Hypermenorrhea occurs in 43% on the cases and dysmenorrhea--in 25%. Asymptomatic endometriosis occurs in 68% on the cases. In conclusion the endometriosis is a unique disease with no characteristics symptomatic, that help us no much for the exact diagnosis.

[Our experience with the use of the new Bulgarian intrauterine contraceptive device, the Venus Cu 300 (preliminary report)].

A team of the family planning centre at the Research Institute of Obstetrics and Gynecology carried out a trial on a new Bulgarian intrauterine contraceptive device (ICD), produced by the firm Venus in the town of Varna: Venus Cu 300. This is a T-shaped device with horizontal arm of 30 mm, vertical arm of 34 mm, a copper thread with an area of 300 mm2 and two control threads. It is produced from PVC. Purity of copper is over 99.9% in the copper thread. The construction of Venus Cu 300 has the positive properties of other intrauterine contraceptive devices, used in our country during the last 15 years. 87 women have been followed in 320 cycles for a period of 6 months. A larger part of them are parous, mainly with one or two children. Venus Cu 300 has been used in seven nulliparas, presenting risk for frequent abortions. Three Venus Cu 300 have been placed immediately after abortion. No pregnancy occurs, which is explained by the careful choice of the patients. Extraction of ICD has been made only in one case due to medical causes: bleeding and pain. More abundant menstruation after ICD has been found in 11.5% of women, but there has been no need to extract ICD. Inferences are made that Venus Cu 300 is in every way equal to the known models of ICD, that the trial should include a larger group of women to accumulate data in dynamics, in order to improve Venus Cu 300 eventually.
