Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is a common gynecological concern with diverse etiologies.
  • Evaluation of AUB varies significantly based on patient age and clinical context.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the differential diagnoses for abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) in premenopausal, pregnant, and postmenopausal women.
  • To highlight the role of ultrasound (US) in evaluating pelvic diseases contributing to AUB.

Main Methods:

  • Review of conditions causing abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) across different patient demographics.
  • Emphasis on the diagnostic utility of ultrasound (US) in identifying pelvic pathologies.

Main Results:

  • Ultrasound (US) effectively evaluates premenopausal conditions like endometriosis, adenomyosis, and leiomyomas.

  • US aids in diagnosing pregnancy-related complications such as ectopic pregnancy and placental issues.
  • US is crucial for identifying causes of AUB in postmenopausal women, including atrophic changes and carcinoma.

    • Conclusions:

    • Ultrasound (US) is an indispensable tool for the comprehensive evaluation of abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB).
    • US facilitates the prompt identification of urgent and emergent gynecological conditions.
