Two questions:

1) How can one have secondary Amenorrhea with EXCESSIVE vaginal bleeding? If you have vaginal bleeding, there cannot be amenorrhea. This is just a confusing story to me.

2) When the lady had her termination, did she have any hemorrhagic complications? I'm thinking of shock and pituitary apoplexy, of course...

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.
