Abstract:
Heavy menstrual bleeding is a common condition encountered in the adolescent patient population. The objective of this consensus guideline is to provide the latest evidence regarding the use of tranexamic acid as a treatment modality for heavy menstrual bleeding in this age group. METHODS: A PubMed search was completed on December 5, 2024 for all articles published since 1970 using (tranexamic acid or "tranexamic acid" or "TXA") and (menorrhagia or "heavy menstrual bleeding") and ("adolescent" or "teenager" or "teen" or "pediatric"). A second search using (tranexamic acid or "tranexamic acid" or "TXA") AND (menorrhagia or "heavy menstrual bleeding") was done using PubMed, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and the Cochrane Library.
