Guest guest Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Hi Gursewa I think it may be important to exclude any other causes of spotting, like cervicitis for example. ask about odour etc. You don't mention the age of your patient either.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Hi, thanks to all who replied regarding my fibroid question. We've found the culprit - it appears the extra bleeding is being initiated by the gigh dose of serrapeptase the patient is on - as soon as she stops this the spotting stops as well. This enzyme does appear to have quite a significant anti-coagulatant effect inhigh doses. She is going to try a lower dose and then try nattokinase instead. thanks, gursewa.
