Siegel, M.D.: "Gyn: Amenorrhea" Next in thread: Terrence.Jones@kp.org: "Re: Gyn: Amenorrhea" Garry I would say she is still PCO and anovualtory. Sounds as if she is close to fitting into Metabolic Syndrome. I imagine she is hypertensive as well. She remains at risk for endometrial hyperplasia/cancer as is evidenced by 16mm endomtrial thickness. As a minimum, I would think an endometrial assessment with office biopsy would be in order. If no withdrawl bleeding with the second round of provera. (ie give her higher dose 20 to 40mg daily for 12 to 14 days then I would consider either a D and C for assessment or a protracted coures of progesterone ie megace 40mg daily for 3 months and see how herre endometrium is a t that time. andrew >From: garrys@mindspring.com (Garry E.

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.
