Re: Bicornuate uterusFrom: AllanHo@aol.comWed Jan 23 00:08:42 2008
In a message dated 1/22/2008 2:44:05 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, ainsron@sbcglobal.net writes: I have a 32yo G4 P3104, postpartum patient with a unicornuate uterus with a non-communicating horn. She has recently had her third C/S and is a poor pill taker, tried Depo Provera in past but felt lousy and gained weight. She is breast-feeding and can't use NuvaRing or OrthoEvra. She is interesting in using the IUD. What is the experience/consensus of this group? I think it is worth a try but could have a higher expulsion rate. Which IUD are you thinking about inserting? I would think that the T shape IUD would not fit very well within the cavity, if it could accommodate one at all. The short arms would be forever compressed. Would it increase the risk of eroding through the uterine wall? Would it be creating excessive void within the cavity? If there was an excessive void inside, would it increase the rate of infection or discomfort? Would the copper coil or the progestin reservoir be producing the same result as the fully deployed IUD? I think there are too many variables. I don't think it is a good idea! (Perhaps the Implanon may suit her better. You can pull it out if she didn't like it.) Allan Pennsylvania

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.
