Goldman, M.D., FACOG >goldmang@medicine.wustl.edu As they say: "when in doubt, take it out"! It sounds like this woman does not fit the "classic" description of a post-menopausal patient with atrophy and a posterior fornix tear. Since this friable area keeps recurring, I would opt for excisional biopsy. Good luck. Keep us posted. D. Ashley Hill, M.D. dahmd@gate.net Next message: Arthur C Fougner: "Re: Tocolysis."

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.
