Am I correct that you do POP-Q on patients being evaluated for prolapse, or for those who have obvious prolapse (even if there for annual screening with no complaint), or both?

My intention is to use POP-Q on patients who have obvious prolapse, whether symptom free or symptomatic.

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.
