“…Adding the NiGo device, an instrument used to obtain endometrial tissue for biopsy, to SIS has the potential for diagnosing more focal lesions than the traditional Pipelle endometrial biopsy and is a newer option for women undergoing uterine evaluation 23 . Computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) also may assist in diagnosing AUB through visualization of the pelvic cavity if resources are available and previous testing is inconclusive, but these methods should be reserved as a last resort due to cost and unproven benefits 30 . Indications for MRI in cases of AUB are not clearly defined but may include evaluation for adenomyosis, müllerian anomalies, and precise locations of fibroids 31 …”

Abnormal uterine bleeding is one of the most common reasons that reproductive-aged women seek health care. The causes are varied, depending in large part on the age and life stage of the woman. Thus, diagnosis requires a systematic approach that is driven by a thorough health history and review of presenting symptoms. In recent years, the treatment of abnormal uterine bleeding has moved away from surgical procedures in favor of more conservative, yet effective, hormonal therapy such as combined contraceptives and the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system. Clinicians must be knowledgeable about the various abnormal uterine bleeding treatment options and partner with women to develop appropriate, individualized treatment plans. The purpose of this article is to synthesize the current literature to describe the contributing etiologies, common presentations, diagnosis, evaluation, and management of abnormal uterine bleeding.

“…For women in childbearing age, risk factors for abnormal uterine bleeding can include pregnancy or pregnancy‐related conditions, medications, and iatrogenic causes such as anticoagulants or hormone replacement, copper intrauterine devices (IUD) or contraceptive pills, systemic conditions (eg, renal or thyroid disease), or genital tract pathology . Abnormal uterine bleeding is a common condition of women of childbearing age, with up to 30% of women reporting it each year, and approximately 5% of women aged 30 to 49 years seek advice from their general practitioner regarding the condition .…”

Radiographers using IUDs who are occupationally exposed to stray fields from MRI scanners report abnormal uterine bleeding more often than their co-workers without an IUD, or nonexposed co-workers with an IUD. In particular, radiographers present inside the scanner room during image acquisition showed an increased risk.

“…1 The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) classification system for causes of AUB considers nine main categories which are arranged according to the acronym PALM-COEIN (pronounced 'pahm-koin'): polyp; adenomyosis; leiomyoma; malignancy and hyperplasia; coagulopathy; ovulatory dysfunction; endometrial; iatrogenic; and not yet classified. 3 Abnormal uterine bleeding is preferably treated using hysterectomy, endometrial destruction (both 'first generation' hysteroscopic or 'second generation' nonhysteroscopic techniques) and the levonorgestrelreleasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) (Mirena â , Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceutics, Germany). In women of reproductive age, this usually involves heavy or irregular menstrual bleeding or unscheduled nonmenstrual vaginal bleeding.…”

“…In such a scenario, abnormal bleeding refers to unduly heavy or unscheduled bleeding. 3 Abnormal uterine bleeding is preferably treated using hysterectomy, endometrial destruction (both 'first generation' hysteroscopic or 'second generation' nonhysteroscopic techniques) and the levonorgestrelreleasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) (Mirena â , Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceutics, Germany). 4 To date, hysterectomy remains the definitive treatment for heavy menstrual bleeding.…”
