The International Society for the Study of Vulvovaginal Disease gathered a group of experts, with the intention to standardize and make easily available recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of vaginitis.
Vulvovaginitis is among the most common gynecologic diagnoses in both primary care and lower genital tract specialist care worldwide, with most women experiencing at least one lifetime episode.
Members and non-members of the International Society for the Study of Vulvovaginal Disease (ISSVD), acknowledged as experts in the field of vulvovaginitis, from different countries and backgrounds, were invited to participate in this mission.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): avoid use in pregnancy
Prescriber Update 43(3): 31–32
01 September 2022
Key messages
NSAIDs are contraindicated in the third trimester of pregnancy.
NSAIDs should not be used during the first two trimesters of pregnancy unless the expected benefits to the mother outweigh the risks to the fetus. If there is a compelling need for NSAID treatment during the first or second trimester, limit use to the lowest effective dose and shortest duration possible.
Enquire about NSAID use in people who are pregnant or planning pregnancy and advise them not to self-medicate with these medicines during pregnancy.

How prostate cancer may begin
Date: September 22, 2022
Source: University of East Anglia
Summary: Researchers have made an important discovery about how prostate cancer may start to develop. A new study reveals that the prostate as a whole, including cells that appear normal, is different in men with prostate cancer. It suggests that tissue cells throughout the whole prostate are primed and ready to develop prostate cancer. This means that it may be better to treat the whole prostate rather than only the areas in the prostate that have cancer. The team hope their work could help scientists better understand the causes of prostate cancer, and even prevent it altogether.
