Compassionate & Individualized CareUnderstanding and Managing Abnormal Uterine Bleeding
Abnormal uterine bleeding refers to bleeding that differs from a person's usual menstrual pattern in terms of timing, duration or amount. It can occur for many different reasons and may affect women at different stages of life.
Possible causes include hormonal or ovulatory disturbances, uterine fibroids, polyps, adenomyosis, certain medications and other gynecological conditions. Evaluation is important when bleeding is persistent, unusually heavy or associated with other symptoms.
Management is individualized and may involve observation, medication, correction of an underlying condition or a procedure when clinically indicated.
Finding the Underlying Cause
A careful history, examination and appropriate investigations help determine the likely cause of abnormal bleeding and guide the next step in treatment.
