Gyn: Menorrhagia in a patient with a uterus didephys

40 YO P2103, 6 weeks from a repeat C/S-TL, with a history of menorrhagia nicely treated with OCPs.

She is wondering about long term treatment for menorrhagia, should it return? Specifically, she asked about ablation.

My instinct is that she is not a candidate for global techniques due to the misshapeness of the cavities, and the potential thinness of the uterine walls. Then, maybe she could be done with a lapscope in, or do an old fashioned rollerball or resection.

Any thoughts?

Garry

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.
