Most of his career, they have been 35, 30, 25 and 20 micrograms. Now they make a 10 microgram. However, the lowest doses are not always the best choice for women under thirty. Often ...

When such pregnancy failure occurs, thorough evaluation with transvaginal ultrasound and sometimes saline infusion sonohysterography is essential to be sure that the uterus is, in fact, normal and may not be the culprit for the failed pregnancy (most of the time failed pregnancies are due to abnormal chromosomes, and nature is smarter in not allowing such pregnancies to continue). More on failed pr...
Below is Part II of our series of articles on Uterine Fibroids. Another extremely important issue is that true fibroids have NO malignant potential. Years and years ago they thought that a very small number (less than 1%) could undergo malignant transformation. This does not occur. There are rare malignant tumors of uterine muscle known as sarcomas. These are almost always solitary rather than multiple and, when examined with color flow Doppler ultrasound technology looking at blood flow, will...
