Eventually, you will do a hysterectomy, IMHO. Might as well do it when she is healthiest, which is today, rather than any tomorrow given her endocrinology state.

I disagree with hysterectomy here, at least at this point. Halban's dictum had to do with atypical adenomatous hyperplasia which she does not have. I would do a sonohysterogram in the office; think there's a good likelihood she is bleeding from a benign endometrial polyp which can be easily removed hysteroscopically.

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.
