patient, female, 38 years old, recovering alcoholic. This woman has had ovarian cysts drained from the sapling on the right side and consequently has a shriveled up ovary. Just recently under went a risky surgery to remove an 11.8cm ovarian cysts from the left side. Her liver functions were extremely low due to an extensive case of cirrhosis. There was no sign of cancer or endometriosis. She also has not had a menstral cycle for over fifteen years. Her last cycle was prior to her one and only successful pregnancy. What could be the cause of early menopause or is it obviously the alcoholism?

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.
