What do women think about abnormal smear test results? A qualitative interview study.

Contains fulltext : 47931.pdf (publisher's version ) (Closed access)The aim of the study is a report of Dutch women's views on abnormal cervical smear test results and the consequences thereof. Twenty-seven women with recent PAP III in their history were interviewed in the context of this qualitative study. GPs often do not inform patients beforehand about the ways in which abnormal cervical smear test results are communicated, and how such information should be interpreted. Women do not anticipate abnormal test results and are taken by surprise. This frequently results in fears of cancer, disappointment in their own bodies, worries about reproduction, and sexual anxiety. Stress, predisposition, and sexuality form the most frequently mentioned causes. The cervix comes to symbolize reproduction and femininity. We conclude that a PAP III result affects women's lives in an extremely negative manner. Physicians should be aware of the influence of personal characteristics of patients which determine their responses and behaviours. The benefits and disadvantages of preventive screenings should be carefully considered

[Ovarian tumour in a girl with chronic abdominal pain and distension]

A 12-year-old girl presented with chronic abdominal pain and distension that had persisted for 6 and 3 months, respectively. The cause was a Sertoli-Leydig cell tumour originating in the left ovary. The cyst and ovary were resected. The patient recovered and was asymptomatic 2 years after the operation. Ovarian tumours are rarely seen in children. The sex cordstromal tumours constitute a heterogeneous subgroup. Two of the most frequently observed sex cord-stromal tumours are the juvenile granulosa cell tumour and the Sertoli-Leydig cell tumour. Even though these tumours may contain histologically malignant characteristics, their behaviour is usually benign. Clinical characteristics are endocrine symptoms, fatigue, chronic abdominal pain and abdominal distension. In addition, pressure from the tumour mass may result in symptoms in adjacent organ systems. Surgical excision is usually curative. Patients with advanced disease may benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy. Chronic abdominal pain is frequently observed in children and, in some rare cases, may be caused by ovarian tumours
