<< Since the operation, she has developed rectovaginal septum endometriosis with an upper vaginal nodule about 2 cms in diameter Should I now - do a bilateral laparoscopic oophorectomy and put her on HRT? - Resect the septum? Continue medical treatment?>>

I had a similar case who developed a 2 cm nodule on right pelvic sidewall which was causing hydronephrosis. We treated with higher dose depo-provera (400 mg IM) and got complete regression of the nodule with resolution of the hydronephrosis. The suppression has been maintained despite low dose estrogen (0.625 of Ogen) and 400 mg of DMPA q 10-12 weeks for several years.

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.
