Dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) in adolescents is often due to immature hormonal regulation, causing irregular ovulation and heavy periods. Management focuses on stopping bleeding, preventing recurrence, and monitoring until menstrual cycles stabilize.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Pediatric Endocrinology

Context:

  • Dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) is a common gynecological issue in adolescents.
  • It frequently stems from the delayed maturation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis, resulting in anovulatory cycles.

Purpose:

  • To outline the causes, evaluation, and management of DUB in adolescents.
  • To emphasize the importance of ongoing follow-up for HPO axis stabilization.

Summary:

  • DUB in adolescents is primarily caused by HPO axis immaturity, leading to continuous estrogen production and endometrial stimulation.
  • Evaluation involves clinical history, physical examination, and laboratory tests including coagulation profile, CBC, and pregnancy tests.
  • Treatment aims to control bleeding and prevent recurrence, with continued monitoring until ovulatory cycles are established.

Impact:

  • Provides a clear understanding of DUB etiology and presentation in adolescent populations.
  • Guides healthcare providers in the diagnostic and therapeutic approach to DUB.
  • Highlights the necessity of long-term management for achieving stable menstrual function.
