Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Irregular or unusually heavy periods are a common complaint. Most often, the condition is benign and can by managed conservatively. Assess postmenopausal women for cancer by endometrial biopsy, transvaginal ultrasound, or saline infusion sonohysterogram. Treat mild dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, levonorgestrel intrauterine device (IUD), or danazol. Treat moderate DUB with oral contraceptive pills, levonorgestrel IUD, danazol, or tranexamic acid. |
