More info: Menarche 15 yo. Usually irregular period, obviously related to stress. Spotting every day for last 3 mo.

TSH 1.8, FSH 5.9, PRL 8, CHL neg, GL neg

Let me put the question this way. Does D&C indicate in this case?

Thanks, Surasak

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
