Back in the '70's, Wayne Baden showed that Lugol's solution on the cervix at the time of Colposcopy in pregnant women was highly absorbed and fouled up the thyroid function tests.

Have any of you come across this activity? Will the vagina absorb the alcohol into the bloodstream? How much?

My husband, a homicide prosecutor, is checking into this as well. He is wondering how much the vagina can absorb. At what rate? etc. I told him I doubt that there has been much research in this area but I would ask if anyone else had heard of such a thing.

I know research has been done on absorption through the vagina in pregnancy versus non-pregnant. I want to say it was something dealing with iodine (worrying about iodine and the fetal thyroid), but I don't remember it offhand. But I DO remember there being some research about vaginal absorption of some substances, and it's NOT necessarily negligeble.

Another thought: Those of you appropriately situated - TRY IT and report back to those of us who are vaginally disadvantaged!

P.S. Be sure to quantitate and qualitate - e.g. brand, amount, duration, how easy you became, etc.

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.
