Decidual change is a key process required by the uterus to make itself ready for implantation. Presence of ectopic decidual tissue outside the uterine cavity is known as deciduosis. The clinical presentation can vary from being totally asymptomatic and subtle to presenting in the form of life-threatening emergencies like hemoperitoneum, recurrent pneumothorax, or even bowel perforation. Here, we present a case of ectopic deciduosis of cervix presenting in the form of severe life-threatening antepartum hemorrhage in second trimester of pregnancy.

Ovarian Cycle01:27

Ovarian Cycle

The menstrual cycle includes a critical component known as the ovarian cycle, which undergoes two main phases each month—the follicular phase and the luteal phase.

The second phase, the luteal phase, is relatively consistent, lasting approximately 14 days, and is marked by the activity of the corpus luteum. While a cycle...
