This is an accepted indication for hysterectomy. Look at the possibilities. If you have or develop cancer and no one can find it until too late, then you should have had the hysterectomy. On the other hand if you do have it and die of complications then you shouldn't have had it. This is one of those situations where the answer is only known in retrospect. RDB R.

If a hysterscopy can't be done because cervix unable to be found what attentive is there to see into the womb for any sigh of a problem. Two occurrences of spotting over a year - months apart on estrogen and progesterone for about seven years. They wish to perform an hysterectomy without knowing if cancer cells are present or not. It seems this is only for prudence sack.

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.
