Induction of menstruation with bromocriptine.

Abstract:

:Objections are made to the conclusions of Tolis and Naftolin that bromocriptine should be considered for induction of menstruation in women with normal serum prolactin. Amenorrhea with normal follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) levels is often resolved spontaneously. Treatment with bromocriptine and return of menstruation cannot be considered a cause-and-effect relationship. It cannot be correct to show the magnitude of short-time oscillations in terms of percentages. Using normal statistics for standard deviations on values from Figure 1, the values for FSH and LH do not agree with the authors' conclusions. The use of bromocriptine in menstrual disorders should be restricted to women with hyperprolactinemic amenorrhea, oligomenorrhea, or luteal phase defects.

  • Legal liability in the use of ultrasound by office-based obstetricians.

    abstract::Ultrasound has proved to be a valuable diagnostic tool in the practice of obstetrics. Its rapidly increasing use by the office-based obstetrician, however, has opened a potential new area of legal vulnerability. The malpractice liability that may arise from its use is reviewed and practical ways to avoid it are consid...
