Gynecology

Gynecological surgeries to remove ovarian cysts are considered common procedures, but a new study by researchers from the Ziv Medical Center (Poriya) and Yale University warns that for some women, they may lead to irreversible fertility damage and early menopause. The researchers describe this as a "transparent injury" that often goes undocumented in health systems.

An exceptionally rare medical case was documented last week at the Wolfson Medical Center, when a 40-year-old woman from Holon was diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy that developed in the liver, one of the rarest conditions in gynecology. According to a review of medical literature conducted by the team that treated her, this is one of only 47 cases documented worldwide in more than six decades.
