[Natural history of fetal/newborn ovarian cyst].

OBJECTIVE: Fetal and neonatal ovarian cysts are detected freguently by ultrasonography. Prenatal ovarian cysts have a follicular or luteal origin. Their natural history is a spontaneous involution. Pre- and postnatal changes in the sonographic aspects allow to choose the appropriate therapeutical indications: conservative approach, surgery, or percutaneous aspiration. MATERIALALS AND METHODS: In retrospective review from 1992-2004 authors present 26 patients with ovarian cysts. RESULTS: Fifteen patients were diagnosed by prenatal ultrasonography carried out between 33 and 39 weeks of gestation. Postnatally 14 were observed only and their cysts regressed, 10 with cysts larger than 4 cm, had surgical exploration, 2 patients with cysts between 2 to 4 cm were candidates for percutaneous aspiration. CONCLUSION: 1. The conservative treatment and clinical observation using ultrasonography is recommended when the ovari cystic is 40 mm in diameter. 2. When the ovari cystic is bigger then 40 mm in diameter it is recommended to perform puncture and fluid aspiration from the cystis under ultrasonography control. 3. The surgical intervention was planned when the ovari cystis was heterogenous and has been growing for a few months.

[Oral contraceptive practices among female medical students of the University of Warsaw].

DESIGN: Apparently no researches have been conducted regarding oral contraceptive usage among female medical students in Poland. In the last ten years, all over the world, only five publications have dealt with this topic. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of the research reported in this article was to establish the types, choices and frequency of usage of oral contraceptive pills among female medical students of the University of Warsaw. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 634 female students responded to a specially designed questionnaire. RESULTS: Data collected indicated that, 52.2% of the students have been involved in sexual intercourse. 167 of them used Oral Contraceptive Pills (OCP). Two third survey participants used OCP following a doctors recommendations. CONCLUSIONS: 1.30.5% of the sexually active students used OCP. 2.31.9% of this group of students believed the use of OCP was the most effective of all the contraceptive methods. 3.65.0% of the respondents used OCP following a doctors recommendations. 22.7% of the survey participants used OCP in order to regulate their menstrual cycles. 4.

[Contraceptive practices among students].

Research has shown that university students tend to have specific sexual behaviour. It is worth mentioning that not much attention has been paid to pregnancy prevention practices among medical students nor has any survey been conducted in this matter. The purpose of this survey was to ascertain the frequency of contraceptive usage among students at Medical University of Warsaw. Specially designed questionnaires were anonymously self-administered by 634 female and 354 male medical students. 52.2% of the female students and 67.2% of the male students were sexually active at the time. 43.4% of the survey participants used condoms, while 26.3% used oral contraception pill (OCP) as contraceptive methods. Only 0.5% of those participants used intrauterine device. The survey result indicates an apparent dichotomy between the male and female students in terms of (appropriate) choice of the following contraceptive methods: condom, OCP, withdrawal, basal body temperature and Billings' methods.
