<<48 and having anovulatory bleeds interspersed with regular periods, emotional lability and vasomotor instability. Her doc put her on estroderm patch continuous Rx without progestin replacement.

I agree with treating her with ERT, but would have put her on a cyclic program of conj. estrogen and provera.>>

I would think this lady's a SET UP for endometrial problems, unless you use progestins. And for the emotional lability, the SSRI drugs are pretty good additions to the regimen.

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.
