Overview
Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) presents due to both structural and non-structural reasons and AUB is a symptom and not a diagnosis. This session will review a systematic approach to the identification and classification of AUB, leading to a diagnosis using the Palm-Coein classification system. This system allows the clinician to assess structural diagnoses including polyps, adenomyosis, leiomyoma, and malignancy. Non-structural diagnoses include coagulopathy, ovulatory dysfunction, endometrial, iatrogenic and not yet classified. There will be a review of the appropriate workup and the subsequent options for management of AUB, including both medical and surgical interventions. This will include symptom management and use of newer GnRh antagonists for heavy menstrual bleeding due to fibroids. These agents expand the options for management by the NP in practice before referral to gynecology for possible surgical options including myomectomy, endometrial ablation, and hysterectomy.
Objectives
- Discuss the Palm-Coein classification system for abnormal uterine bleeding.
- Discuss the workup for the diagnosis of abnormal uterine bleeding.
- Discuss options for management of abnormal uterine bleeding including pharmacologic and surgical interventions.
