I have a patient who underwent hysteroscopy for premenstrual spotting for diagnostic reasons and unfortunately suffered a perforation during the procedure. The gynaecologist involved suggested she wait six months before trying to conceive, but the patient has subsequently asked my opinion as her GP (Aust equiv of family medical practitioner). No cause was found for the abnormal bleeding incidentally. My patient is querying what the evidence is for waiting this length of time and I have found nothing helpful on Medline or other medical data base search. Can anyone help to point me in the right direction?

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.
