Objective:
To provide a protocol for the diagnosis and management of Acute Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (AUB) during menacme, addressing common causes, clinical evaluation, and treatment options.
Methods:
A review of current evidence and guidelines was performed to create a structured approach for healthcare professionals.
Results:
Acute AUB, defined as excessive uterine bleeding unrelated to pregnancy, requires immediate intervention. Causes vary by age and include coagulopathies, anovulation, and structural anomalies. Clinical stability, lab workups, and imaging are pivotal in guiding management. Initial treatment focuses on hemodynamic stabilization followed by medical therapies such as antifibrinolytics, hormonal agents, or surgical intervention when necessary.
Conclusion:
Early intervention in AUB ensures optimal outcomes, reduces complications, and allows transition to maintenance therapy to prevent recurrence.
