    Area of Science:

    • Gynecology
    • Reproductive Medicine
    • Clinical Diagnosis

    Background:

    • Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) presents diverse etiologies and management strategies.
    • Patient age and overall health significantly influence AUB presentation and treatment.
    • Understanding AUB requires considering normal menstrual physiology.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline an age-stratified approach for evaluating abnormal uterine bleeding.
    • To differentiate dysfunctional uterine bleeding as a diagnosis of exclusion.
    • To highlight diagnostic tools for specific patient populations.

    Main Methods:

    • Organizing patient evaluation by physiologic age groups: menarche/adolescence, childbearing years, and perimenopausal/postmenopausal years.
    • Defining dysfunctional uterine bleeding in the context of normal menstrual physiology.

  • Utilizing endometrial sampling, hysteroscopy, and dilatation and curettage for post-teenage evaluations.

    • Main Results:

    • A systematic, age-based evaluation framework for abnormal uterine bleeding is proposed.
    • Dysfunctional bleeding is characterized as a diagnosis of exclusion.
    • Specific diagnostic procedures are identified as valuable for different age demographics.

    Conclusions:

    • Tailoring AUB evaluation to patient age is crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.
    • Diagnostic tools like endometrial sampling and hysteroscopy are essential for evaluating AUB in adults.
    • A clear understanding of menstrual physiology aids in diagnosing dysfunctional uterine bleeding.
