Abstract\r\n\r\nIntroduction: The majority of women with fibroids go through life, have their children without knowing they harbor fibroids in their wombs. These women with fibroids have no symptoms of their condition. Women who do have symptoms, includes pain and heavy menstrual bleeding. Fibroids can put pressure on the bladder, causing frequent urination, or the rectum, causing constipation and rectal pressure or discomfort. Sometimes, the fibroids get very large and can cause the abdomen to enlarge, making a woman look pregnant. Fibroids are classified according to their location within the uterine wall- Intramural fibroids are located within the wall of the uterus and are the most common type. Sub-serosal fibroids are located underneath the mucosal (peritoneal) surface of the uterus and can become very large. Sub-mucosal fibroids are located in the muscle beneath the endometrium of the uterus and distort the uterine cavity; even small lesion in this location may lead to bleeding and infertility. A pedunculated lesion within the cavity is termed an intra-cavitary fibroid and can be passed through the cervix. Cervical fibroids are located in the wall of the cervix. Rarely fibroids are found in the supporting structures (round ligament, broad ligament, utero-sacral ligament) of the uterus that also contain smooth muscle tissue. \r\n\r\nCase Presentation: A 43 years old lady having two kids came with the chief complaint of excessive bleeding with clots, pelvic pain, incontinence, painful sexual intercourse and prolonged monthly periods. She also complained of fatigue. On her speculum examination, it was noted - fibroid extend through the cervix. So, a provisional diagnosis of intra-cavitary fibroid was made. All routine investigations were normal RBC 4.34 (N3.8-5.3); WBC 10.58 (N3.5-10.0); PLT 368 (N140-400); only - Hb -85 (N 120-160); HCT -26.39 (N 36-48); Urine routine examination and microscopic examination: Normal specific gravity, urine culture – no organism isolated. Ultrasound was done in full bladder showing normal size uterus, endometrial cavity was filled by a hypoechonic solid mass of 33x28 mm, with polype or pedunculated lesion, which is projected from the inner lining the uterus and extended through the cervix. No intra mass degeneration or calcification was seen and diagnosed as sub-mucosal fibroid. Bilateral ovaries were enlarged and cystic degenerated. Total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-opheractomy was done. Histo-pathological report confirmed intra-cavitary fibroid. Her recovery was smooth. Sutures were removed after 10 days. \r\n\r\nConclusion: Fibroids are the most common benign tumors in females and typically found during the middle and later reproductive years. The most common type of fibroids is Intramural fibroid. The rare type of fibroids is sub-mucosal fibroid, especially intra-cavitary, pedunculated fibroid. The most fibroids are asymptomatic; they can grow and cause heavy bleeding, painful sexual intercourse and urinary frequency. Menstrual cycle may last for more than seven days and may notice large blood clot formations. Excessive blood loss can lead to anemia, a condition that can lead to fainting episodes and easy fatigue. Symptoms caused by uterine fibroids are a very frequent indication for hysterectomy. \r\n

Perinatal, maternal mortality and morbidity are major women/public health problems in the world. Therefore World Health\r\nOrganization aim to improve the quality of care during labour and child birth with Fifth Millennium Development Goal. Thus knowledge of\r\nevidence-based practice during labor is very important for women and newborn safety. This study was held with the aim of reviewing\r\nevidence-based practices during labor stages situated in guidelines.

FGM/C is a well-recognized harmful practice that is deeply rooted in Sudan. This study aim to assess the knowledge and attitude of secondary school students toward Female Genital Mutilation.rnIt is a school based descriptive cross sectional study was conducted in Karary Locality, Khartoum State, Sudan. Four Secondary Schools for girls were involved in the study. From each school, two second grade classes were selected randomly and data was collected from all the students (292) in this two classes using author designed questionnaire. All the students were between 14 to 19 years old. Most of them (61.3%) were not circumcised. 23.6% of the student knew type 1 and 21.2% knew type 4. On the other hand, only 15.1 and 8.6 knew type 2 and 3 respectively. The majority of the students knew that bleeding, delivery problems and Recurrent Infections are possible FGM/C complications. 78.8% of the student think that FGM should be stopped and 70.9% of them would disagree if one of the family want to circumcise a girl. Furthermore, 74.3% would advise their family members not to practice FGM/C and 68.8% agree to join activities that aim to stop FGM. In addition, 68.8 % perceive FGM/C as violation to human rights and 76.0% encourage legislations that fight FGM/C. 79.8 will not circumcise their daughters. In summery,The majority of the students showed good knowledge about FGM/C complications. While, minority of students knew the types of FGM/C.
