Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Reproductive Endocrinology

Background:

  • Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is a common gynecological issue.
  • It often stems from ovulation disorders and endometrial dysfunction.
  • Diagnosis requires excluding underlying organic pelvic diseases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the diagnostic and management principles for abnormal uterine bleeding.
  • To discuss current therapeutic options for persistent AUB.

Main Methods:

  • Review of diagnostic criteria for AUB.
  • Evaluation of pharmacological treatments including hormonal, anti-prostaglandin, and anti-fibrinolytic agents.
  • Assessment of surgical and interventional procedures.

Main Results:

  • Prompt treatment of anemia, endocrine, and systemic causes is crucial.
  • Combined estrogen-progestogen, anti-prostaglandin, and anti-fibrinolytic agents are effective for persistent AUB.
  • Hysterectomy and endometrial ablation are options for older, parous women with persistent AUB.

Conclusions:

  • Abnormal uterine bleeding management involves addressing underlying causes and symptoms.
  • Pharmacological interventions are primary for persistent AUB.
  • Radiotherapy is not a current management option for AUB.
