Knowledge, experiences, and practices of women affected by female genital schistosomiasis in rural Madagascar
<p><strong><span>Background:</span></strong><span> Female genital schistosomiasis (FGS) is a neglected manifestation of urogenital schistosomiasis caused by <em>S. haematobium</em>. The disease presents with symptoms such as pelvic pain, vaginal discharge and bleeding and menstruation disorders, and might lead to infertility and pregnancy complications. The perspectives of women with FGS have not been studied systematically.</span></p> <p><strong><span>Methods:</span></strong><span><strong> </strong>We performed a qualitative study in the Ambanja district in Northwest Madagascar. FGS was diagnosed by colposcopy. Seventy-six women with FGS participated either in a focus group discussion (N=60) or in an individual semi-structured interview (N= 16). The data were analysed using Mayring´s qualitative content analysis. The aim of the study was to understand knowledge, experiences, and practices of women with FGS. </span></p> <p><span><strong>Results:</strong></span><span> Knowledge on how the disease is acquired varied and ideas on prevention remained vague. Patients suffered from vaginal discharge and pelvic complaints. Some women expressed unbearable pain during sexual intercourse and compared their pain to an open wound being touched. FGS considerably impaired women´s daily activities and their quality of life. Infertility led to resignation and despair, conflicts with the partner and to social exclusion from the community. Women fearing to sexually transmit FGS refrained from partnership and sexual relations. Many women with FGS reported stigmatisation. A coping strategy was to share strain with other women having similar complaints. However, concealing FGS was a common behaviour which led to social isolation and delayed health care seeking. </span></p> <p><strong><span>Conclusions:</span></strong><span> Our study underlines that FGS has an important impact on the sexual health of women and on their social life in the community. Our results highlight the importance of providing adequate health education and structural interventions, such as the supply of water and the provision of sanitation measures. Further, correct diagnosis and treatment of FGS in adolescent girls and women should be available in all <em>S. haematobium</em>-endemic areas. </span></p>
Assessing the prevalence of Female Genital Schistosomiasis and comparing the acceptability and performance of health worker-collected and self-collected cervical-vaginal swabs using PCR testing among women in North-Western Tanzania: the ShWAB study
<p>Female genital schistosomiasis (FGS) is a severe neglected disease, caused by infection with <em>Schistosoma haematobium</em>. The WHO has prioritized the improvement of diagnostics for FGS and previous studies have explored the PCR-based detection of <em>Schistosoma</em> DNA on genital specimens, with encouraging results. We aimed to determine the prevalence of FGS among women living in an endemic district in North-western Tanzania, applying and preliminary comparing self-collected and operator-collected cervical-vaginal swabs followed by PCR, and to assess the acceptability of these sampling procedures.</p>
