Abnormal Uterine Bleeding

📖What is Abnormal Uterine Bleeding?

Abnormal uterine bleeding refers to any menstrual bleeding that differs from a woman's normal pattern in terms of frequency, duration, regularity, or volume, including bleeding that is unusually heavy, prolonged, irregular, or occurs between periods or after menopause. It can occur at any age from adolescence through the menopausal transition and has a wide range of underlying causes, from hormonal imbalances and benign growths like fibroids or polyps to, less commonly, pre-cancerous or cancerous changes in the uterine lining. Because the underlying causes vary widely by age and clinical context, thorough evaluation is important to guide appropriate treatment.
