Premature Menopause From: CNMPAT@aol.com Sat Jul 27 15:04:40 1996 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Malcolm Griffiths: "Re: Recurrent incarceration" Previous message: SAVARIS@vortex.ufrgs.br: "Re: P elvic Pain" Next in thread: Malcolm Griffiths: "Re: Premature Menopause" Reply: Malcolm Griffiths: "Re: Premature Menopause" What would you folks consider the causes of 'iatrogenic' menopause. What management for the woman with premature menopause (ovarian failure) at age 35 with no apparent iatrogenic causes? Is HRT the usual management, after being certain there are no other causes? >>Malcolm Griffith says "most of the premature menopauses I see areiatrogenic, but can't imagine that changes much." I imagine that iatrogenic menopause is associated with much more radical hormonal changes than a spontaneous menopause. I would initiate HRT with any dose equivalent to Premarin 0.625 and if symptoms were not significantly improved by 72 hrs, I'd double to dose.

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.
