[Dysfunctional uterine bleeding in the adolescent].

    Summary

    Dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) is common in adolescents, often due to ovulation regulation issues. Prompt diagnosis and hormonal treatment are key to managing acute bleeding and regulating cycles.

    Area of Science:

    • Gynecology
    • Reproductive Endocrinology

    Context:

    • Dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) is a prevalent gynecological issue in adolescent girls.
    • Approximately 75% of abnormal uterine bleeding cases in teenagers are functional, linked to ovulation regulation feedback mechanisms.

    Purpose:

    • To outline diagnostic approaches and management strategies for dysfunctional uterine bleeding in adolescents.
    • To emphasize the importance of excluding systemic and local causes.

    Summary:

    • Acute, profuse DUB necessitates emergency hormonal hemostasis (IV estrogens, high-dose oral estrogen-progestin).
    • Persistent bleeding, with normal coagulation, may require examination under anesthesia, dilatation, and curettage.
    • Cyclic regulation is achieved with a 3-month estrogen-progestin regimen.
    • Chronic anovulatory patterns in 5% of cases require long-term progestin therapy to prevent unopposed estrogen exposure.

    Impact:

    • Establishes a clear diagnostic and treatment pathway for adolescent DUB.
    • Highlights the need for precise diagnosis to differentiate functional from organic causes.
    • Provides guidance on managing both acute and chronic presentations of DUB.
