CauterizationFrom: SAVARIS@vortex.ufrgs.brWed May 22 18:35:31 1996
DEar listers I am not sure if this word exists, cauterization, but I mean, when we burn something to heal the lesion. Any way, my question is: Lots of ObGyn burn normal ectopic tissue in the cervix claiming that t is a wound that must be healed before it become a cancer (according to patient's information), others say that it might be an etilogic factor for deep dispareunia. I have seen a lot of ectopy in the cervix, I perform pap + colpo, if things are OK, I do nothing, if the patient has no complains, I do nothing as well. Am I doing the proper thing? Is ectopy a cause for deep dispareunia? If the patient has a increased vaginal discharge in these circunstances, would not be better to insure the patient and wait, instead of burning?

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.
