F.R.S.C.: "Re: AGUS pap" Reply: Dr. John Provatopoulos B.Sc. M.D.C.M. F.R.S.C.: "Re: AGUS pap" 38 YO P2002, 2 prior C/S, very petite--5 feet, 95 pounds. LEEP 11/05, mild dysplasia with clear margins. First pap 3/06 AGUS, HR HPV + colpo negative, easy to do an ECC and endo biopsy, both benign. I don't think that she is a good vag hyst in my hands--I would do a TAH. However, I really think that this negative evaluation and the proximity of the pap to the LEEP may well mean that the pap isn't all it is cracked up to be. That said, an AGUS pap is nothing to fool around with. . . I think the choices are to do freqeunt paps--every 4 months--and reassess if any aren't negative, versus a LEEP (long and narrow) and a hysteroscopy. If the LEEP and H-scope are negative, then why not do nothing and follow paps. Now, if one wants to do a hyst, would you LEEP first?

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.
