Agree it is a judgement call. however keep in mind that you are setting this
patient up for a potentially devastating infection with tubo ovarian abcess
formation and hysterectomy. The risk may be significant. Perhaps a more
prudent course would be to leave alone and reassess in 12 weeks and treat
laparoscopically or with laparotomy. andrew
