Prenatal testing also is available to determine whether the fetus will have the disease or is a carrier. Treatment
There are no specific treatments for lipid storage disorders; however, there are some highly effective enzyme replacement therapies for people with type 1 Gaucher disease and some patients with type 3 Gaucher disease. There are other treatments such as the prescription of certain drugs such as phenytoin and carbamazepine to treat pain for patients with Fabry disease. Furthermore, gene therapies and bone marrow transplantation may prove to be effective for certain lipid storage disorders.Diet restrictions do not help prevent the buildup of lipids in the tissues.

Vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) is a subtype of female urogenital fistula (UGF). Presentation
Vesicovaginal fistula, or VVF, is an abnormal fistulous tract extending between the bladder (vesica) and the vagina that allows the continuous involuntary discharge of urine into the vaginal vault.In addition to the medical sequela from these fistulas, they often have a profound effect on the patients emotional well-being. Causes
It may be the result of a congenital birth condition such as VACTERL association. It is often caused by childbirth (in which case it is known as an obstetric fistula), when a prolonged labor presses the unborn child tightly against the pelvis, cutting off blood flow to the vesicovaginal wall. The affected tissue may necrotize (die), leaving a hole.Vaginal fistulas can also result from particularly violent cases of rape, especially those involving multiple rapists and/or foreign objects. Some health centers in countries such as the Democratic Republic of Congo have begun to specialize in the surgical repair of vaginal fistulas. It can also be associated with hysterectomy, cancer operations, radiation therapy and cone biopsy. Treatment
Vesicovaginal fistulae are typically repaired either transvaginally or laparoscopically, although patients who have had multiple transvaginal procedures sometimes attempt a final repair through a large abdominal incision, or laparotomy.The laparoscopic (minimally invasive) approach to VVF repair has become more prevalent due to its greater visualization, higher success rate, and lower rate of complications.
