I would treat this patient like an endometrial ablation patient (we used to say you treated ablations like ashermans). It would be wise for her not to become pregnant, options would include the usual forms of reversable and irreversable contraception. WRT endometrial Ca, I'm not sure that has been well worked out. Obviously any bleeding requires further investigation.

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.
