Gyn: Progestin intoleranceFrom: Garry E. Siegel, M.D. (garrys@mindspring.com)Wed Nov 28 17:26:53 2007
33 YO P3003 S/P TL Avid exerciser, thin and muscular Around 3 years ago, when 1 year PP, underwent TVT and LTL, and in the PACU was found to be in CHF from likely viral/peripartum cardiomyopathy that had been awfully well compensated. Her ejection fraction and anatomy are all normal again. She has been seeing two other MDs, one a regular Gyn with a "tilt" towards hormonal regulation, etc.--he is a fine doc but is one that is a bit elitist, no insurance, etc. She also has seen another doc, not a gyn, and had "hormone tests" done. There are no records, but she says she's menopausal and has been on a boatload on unopposed estrogen patch for symptoms, and, guess what, she's bleeding continuoulsy. Her exam was normal and biopsy was disordered proliferative, and MPA as well as Prometrium "drove her crazy." She is very reluctant to try another progestin, even if only every two or three months. She has asked about a hysterectomy, and while I'm glad to do one, I have suggested a Mirena. Well, she has read about side effects and is very reluctant to use any progestin, and asked about an ablation. I think that an ablation cannot eliminate her endometrium sufficiently to preclude hyperplasia, and she may still bleed erratically. 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.
