Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Reproductive Health

Context:

  • Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is a common gynecologic complaint.
  • While not always pathological, AUB significantly impacts women's quality of life.
  • Recurrent AUB necessitates thorough diagnostic evaluation and management.

Purpose:

  • To outline the diagnostic work-up for abnormal uterine bleeding.
  • To detail the medical and surgical treatment options for AUB.
  • To differentiate between dysfunctional and organic causes of AUB.

Summary:

  • Dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB), accounting for 80% of cases, stems from hormonal imbalances.
  • Organic causes include polyps and myomas.
  • Diagnosis relies on vaginal ultrasound, with hysteroscopy and curettage for invasive assessment.

  • Medical treatments involve gestagens, estrogens, ovulation inhibitors, NSAIDs, or antifibrinolytics.
  • Surgical options range from hysteroscopy to endometrial ablation or hysterectomy for refractory cases.

    • Impact:

    • Provides a comprehensive overview for clinicians managing AUB.
    • Highlights the importance of accurate diagnosis for effective treatment.
    • Informs patient understanding of AUB causes and management strategies.
