Hi all

I have a case that I've known for some time, She is a case of diagnosed endometriosis. I did her adhesiolisis on 1993 and then she got pregnant, then she had a big endometriotic cyst and I removed it and then she got pregnant again. In the last six years, she got 2 endometriotic cysts that were very big and causing agonizing pains and had to be surgically removed in 2 occasions. Last 1 year ago and then she got pregnant spontaneously but missed abortion at 14 weeks and had to evacuate by extramniotic PG. Now she is in a new pregnancy 12 weeks but she is in a continuous pain for the last 4 weeks, yesterday I did her ultrasound to find the uterus acutely RVF with the cervix extremely anterior, by manual examination the uterus couldn't be erected, so I suppose the fundus is adherent to the post peritoneum, Now what can I do?... I thought of waiting till 16 wks gestation and attempt laparotomy removal of the adhesions if the spontaneous anteversion doesn't take place (with the possibility of subsequent bleeding and possible hysterectomy) or evacuation of the pregnancy now (which I don't like)...what can I do

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.
