UAE - was unnecesary hysts

I recently saw someone who was very glad to have had her UAE. She says the horrible inner thigh pain she used to have with sex is gone. So that is good. She still has periods every month - some still require change of protection every 2-3 hours. She saw the interventional radiologist for a follow up (it is about a 1.5 hour drive) - and was not examined - so she hoped I could tell her how much it had shrunk.

Well ... I wrote last time it was a 12+ week uterus - not completely to the sidewalls. This year - I still say 12 week - but with more room betweenit and the sidewalls.

So she is happy - but I am not really impressed. But as they (someone at any rate) say - "if the customer is happy ..."

Next she'll need an endometrial ablation for the continued menses! But - boy lets keep that uterus that is palpable above the symphysis! Don't want to take out perfectly good organs! TIC

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.
