Re: Granulation tissue?

I've seen granulation tissue several years after a hysterectomy. Most of the patients I've seen hadn't followed up to be sure that their cuff had healed competely and didn't return until it was symptomatic, i.e, postcoital bleeding, discharge or pain. If she had her tubes and ovaries left, could be tubal prolapse. Like Effrain said, you can easily biopsy it if you are concerned about what it is. If you feel strongly that it is granulation tissue, cauterize it with AgNO3 swab, Monsel's solution, or freeze it. If it goes away you've not only made the diagnosis, you have cured it.

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.
