Re: Asx.Trichomonas in 47 yo -not sexually active From: Tessler (tessler@frontiernet.net) Sat Feb 28 11:49:54 1998 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Bernard Cristalli: "Re: GnRH analogues, Fibroid Reduction and Morcellation" Previous message: Calvin J. Siegers, MD FACOG: "Re: GnRH analogues, Fibroid Reduction and Morcellation" My thinking is 1) those who are not sexually active today may be active tomorrow, 2) I'm told trich is one of the few sexually transmissible infections that can be spread by other means, and 3) she might develop symptoms in the future? So I'd suggest treatment if the patient wanted it, after discussing these pros and cons.

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.
