Background/Purpose of Study: Endometriosis, a common, chronic, gynecological condition, has a burden of around 176 million women globally and ∼26 million women alone in India. It is associated with chronic pelvic pain, subfertility, dysmenorrhea and dyspareunia. Information about clinical phenotype of endometriosis is lacking in India. Additionally, the correlation between the symptoms and different characteristics of endometriosis has not been estimated in the Indian population yet. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the clinical phenotype of women with endometriosis and to describe the unusual cases of endometriosis.Methods: Clinical phenotype of endometriosis was studied in a total of 500 women with endometriosis.
Results: Out of 500 cases, 87 (15%) of endometriosis cases were classified as Peritoneal, 291 (58%) as ovarian and 122 (24%) were having deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE/RV). The disease was classified into Stage I-II (n=183) and Stage III-IV (n=317) as per the revised American Society for Reproductive Medicine (rASRM). In the cohort of women with endometriosis, 77% women experienced dysmenorrhea, 23% dyspareunia, 34% chronic pelvic pain and 14% suffered from dyschezia. Around 13% women had family history of endometriosis. Sixty six percent women either had primary or secondary infertility and 33% had history of miscarriage. We also detected endometriosis having unusual presentation such as endometriosis associated endometrioid type of ovarian cancer, cervical endometriosis, endometriosis associated with didelphys uterus.
Conclusion: The incidence of endometriosis is rising in India and hence there is a need to develop uniform guidelines for the diagnosis and management of endometriosis.

Women with history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are at several folds increased risk of developing type 2 DM, metabolic syndrome, coronary artery disease and stroke. Off springs could also become susceptible to various health issues. Early diagnosis and timely management is very important. Therefore screening and diagnosis of pregnant women for GDM is essential. There are various screening tests and controversies exist as to which is the best method for diagnosis. According to this article the single step screening-cum-diagnostic test recommended by Diabetes in Pregnancy Study Group in India (DIPSI) appears to be the most feasible, economical and evidence based, particularly for high risk Indian population.References
