Wiki Obgyn mdm risks

[kendrahawkins]

I'm curious to know opinions on risk for mdm for amenorrhea visits. patient has no health complications, mild nausea and work up is blood work,pap, and ultrasound at the next visit... could one argue that it is an [undiagnosed new problem with uncertain prognosis] since the ultrasound hasn't confirmed pregnancy?

If you are referring to the diagnosis portion of the MDM in regards to whether or not this is a new problem with additional work up, then yes, I would agree if this is the first time you are seeing this patient for amenorrhea with uncertain cause (pregnant vs non-pregnant).

For the table of risk I would consider this minimal as the problem is minor with basic diagnostic follow up.
