In the dawn of 2021 and with the hope that COVID-19 will be eradicated within the forthcoming year, HJOG welcomes the new year with articles written by international collaborators.
In the present issue Syed et al present their data on the outcome of laparoscopic ovarian drilling for women with polycystic ovarian syndrome. The technique has been used extensively in the previous decades; however, to date, it is known that it does not significantly affect pregnancy rates; hence, its cannot be considered as adequate in patients that are clomiphene resistant.
Primary dysmenorrhea is another relatively difficult to treat clinical diagnosis and Christopoulos et al present their data from a prospective randomized crossover study that indicates the superior performance of ibuprofen compared to paracetamol in terms of succesful pain control.
