: Female participation in long-distance running has been increasing, but the incidence of pelvic floor-related symptoms in this population remains limited.

Resende et al conducted a cross-sectional study, which included 301 women, of which 23% reported POP symptoms during running. Average weekly running distance was 28.6 km, and 76% performed additional physical activity. POP symptoms were significantly associated with weekly running distance and additional activities, while cesarean delivery was inversely associated.

: Tranexamic acid (TXA) is an antifibrinolytic agent widely used to treat or prevent excessive bleeding in various clinical settings (heavy menstrual bleeding, trauma, and surgery). It works by inhibiting the activation of plasminogen to plasmin, thereby preventing the breakdown of fibrin clots and promoting hemostasis.

But does its prophylactic local infiltration into cervical and vaginal tissues before vaginal hysterectomy reduce intraoperative blood loss?

: An incidental diagnosis of malignancy after surgery for prolapse or other benign indication can result in deviations from standard management that may potentially alter patients’ outcomes. The aim of this manuscript was to identify the incidence of occult endometrial cancer diagnosed following hysterectomy for the repair of pelvic organ prolapse, and compare patient outcomes to a control cohort of preoperatively diagnosed endometrial cancer patients.
