200 gram uterus, no "pathology" - does it really matter? Sometimes I think we spend far too much time trying to explain ourselves. The woman has an obviously enlarged uterus, she has symptoms, you fixed them. Why does (should!) it really matter?

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.
