DUB is defined as a state of abnormal uterine bleeding without any clinically detectable organic, systemic, and iatrogenic cause (Pelvic pathology, e.g. tumor, inflammation or pregnancy is excluded). Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) is defined as a bleeding that interferes with woman's physical, emotional, social and maternal quality of life.
1. Abnormalities of the reproductive tract
2. Complications related to pregnancy
3. Iatrogenic factors [due to medicines or medical procedures]
4. Systemic disease
5. Dysfunctional uterine bleeding
When no other cause can be found. Dysfunctional uterine bleeding is a diagnosis of exclusion. In the vast majority of cases, it is secondary to anovulation [a condition where the follicle does not burst and therefore does not release the egg], which is more common at the extremes of reproductive age ie: teenage girls an women between 40-50 years of age
To diagnose DUB, your doctor will ask questions about your medical history and the history of your cycle. These answers will help them determine your risks for certain reproductive disorders, like PCOS and endometriosis.
If you’re taking any medication, including birth control, mention this to your doctor, as such drugs can cause abnormal bleeding.
Your doctor may recommend an ultrasound to view your reproductive organs. This examination can help reveal whether you have any abnormal growths, such as polyps or fibroids. It can also help to rule out internal bleeding.
Blood tests are used to measure your hormone levels and your complete blood count. Your hormone levels can often give quick insight into the cause of your bleeding.
If you’ve had heavy or prolonged bleeding, a complete blood count reveals whether your red blood cell count is too low. A low red blood cell count can indicate anemia.
If an abnormal growth is causing the bleeding, or your uterine lining is unusually thick, your doctor may take a sample of the uterine tissue for testing.
If there are any abnormal cell changes in the lining, a biopsy may reveal it. Abnormal cells can indicate hormone imbalances or cancer, among other things.
Generally, DUB is a temporary condition. Once the sex hormones are regulated, abnormal bleeding usually subsides.
Anemia is one of the main complications of heavy bleeding. If you develop anemia due to significant blood loss, your physician may treat it with minerals and vitamin supplements.
In rare cases where the bleeding has caused significant blood loss, you may need a blood transfusion.
Because of diverse etiopathology of DUB in different phases of woman’s life, the management protocols have been grouped accordingly. Pubertal and adolescent menorrhagia <20 years (see p. 54, 55). Reproductive period (20–40 years). Premenopausal (>40 years). Postmenopausal.
