In 100 women who underwent laparoscopic sterilization approximately one year before a follow-up check including gynecological examination, a structurized interview and a "Maudsley Personality Inventory" (MPI) test were performed. 6% complained about algopareunia before the operation which did not disappear afterwards. In 8 patients algopareunia started after the operation, only 2 of them presenting pelvic adhesions at control, whereas 6 patients suffered from psychogenic algopareunia. Neurotic tendency was evidently elevated in all those patients complaining about pelvic pain before and after operation. 6 patients had pelvipathia nervosa, 14 showed organic alterations, but these were not necessarily the reason for the complaints. Laparoscopy revealed pathologic processes e.g. adhesions, pelvic varicosis or adnexitis in 27%, but not more than 11% of these patients with obvious pathology had subjective complaints. These findings underline the fact that pathologic alterations will not necessarily explain pelvic pains and that in most cases psychosomatic factors must be taken into consideration.

The authors examined using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) more than 2700 gynaecological patients for the presence of Ch. tracheomatis. The patients were mostly from Bratislava and surroundings. The material used were cervical smears or morning urine. The most frequent diagnoses associated with Chlamydia infection were adnexitis (38%), cervicitis (22%), pelvic pain (9%), sterility (9%), cystitis and ureteritis (3%) abortus imminenes (4%) partus prematurus imminenes (9%). There was a marked seasonal character of chlamydias with the peak during the summer period. The mean age of the patients was 29.2 years and thus the assumed higher incidence of younger age groups was not confirmed. PCR proved to be an accurate, reliable and perspective method for the detection of Ch. trachomatis in Slovak gynaecological patients.
