    Area of Science:

    • Gynecology
    • Obstetrics
    • Internal Medicine

    Background:

    • Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is a common gynecological issue affecting women across all age groups.
    • Differential diagnosis for AUB includes pregnancy, infections, hormonal imbalances, systemic diseases, and dysfunctional uterine bleeding.
    • Etiologies and management strategies for AUB differ significantly based on patient age.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the differential diagnosis of abnormal uterine bleeding.
    • To describe age-specific diagnostic methods and management plans for AUB.
    • To emphasize the importance of considering various etiologies, from common infections to rare systemic disorders.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of common and rare causes of abnormal uterine bleeding.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Age-stratified analysis of diagnostic approaches.
  • Discussion of treatment modalities for AUB.

    • Main Results:

    • In younger women, pregnancy-related issues, infections, and birth control are common, but endocrine and hematologic disorders are also considered.
    • Perimenopausal irregular bleeding is often linked to ovarian failure.
    • Postmenopausal bleeding necessitates ruling out endometrial carcinoma.

    Conclusions:

    • The diagnostic and management approach for abnormal uterine bleeding must be tailored to the patient's age.
    • Identifying and treating the underlying cause of AUB is paramount.
    • Hormonal therapy or surgical interventions may be necessary when no organic cause is found or as primary treatment.
