Abnormal uterine bleeding can be caused by

• Structural abnormalities in the reproductive tract. It includes benign (non-cancerous) lesions of the uterus such as polyps, fibroids (myomas), and adenomyosis (uterine thickening caused by endometrial tissue moving into the outer walls of the uterus).

• Anovulation occours when the ovaries do not release an egg during a menstrual cycle. There is reduced level of progesterone that causes heavy bleeding during an anovulatory cycle.

• Bleeding disorders( blood clotting disorders)

• Hormonal issues (such as hypothyroidism),

• Early pregnancy, including miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy

• Medications that can affect the normal release of estrogen and progesterone (Side effects of birth control pills)

• Vaginal and cervical lesions (benign or cancerous), endometeritis, or endometrial adhesions can also cause heavy bleeding.

• Use of an intrauterine device (IUD) also may be associated with abnormal uterine bleeding.

• Chronic medical problems such as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) , diabetes mellitus or disorders of the liver, kidney, thyroid gland, or adrenal glands

• Cancer of the reproductive tract, etc.

Diagnosis of Abnormal Uterine Bleeding :

√ Hysteroscopy is a useful procedure in which a thin telescope-like instrument is placed through the cervix into the uterus which allows visual inspection of the entire uterine cavity.

√ Ultrasonography(USG)

 Ultrasound within vagina and on top of the abdomen and pelvis is done.

√ A pregnancy test is always performed because abnormal bleeding in the reproductive years is commonly due to abnormalities associated with pregnancy

√ Blood test to check for anemia (low blood count) or a blood clotting disorder.

Complications of Abnormal Uterine Bleeding :

Complications of chronic abnormal uterine bleeding can include infertility, iron deficiency anaemia or cancer of endometerium. If bleeding is not controlled it may lead to hypotension, shock, and even death.
