Promotes bleeding, no? I had heard the opposite -- never saw the study but was told by an OB/GYN when I was a student nurse-midwife that ibuprofen decreased menstrual bleeding. My own experience and that of other women I have suggested it to for mild to moderate menorrhagia (especially during perimenopause) has been that it definitely decreases flow. -- Cheri Van Hoover, CNM Midwifery Service at Stanford > > D. ross Next message: Harvey S.

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.
