Abnormal Uterine Bleeding Treatment
Comprehensive Care for Abnormal Uterine Bleeding at Shalom Clinic
Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is a condition characterized by irregular, excessive, or prolonged bleeding from the uterus. This condition can occur at any age and may result from a variety of factors, including hormonal imbalances, uterine fibroids, polyps, infections, and more serious conditions such as cancer. At Shalom Clinic, we are committed to providing comprehensive diagnosis and treatment to manage AUB and improve our patients' quality of life.
Understanding Abnormal Uterine Bleeding
Abnormal uterine bleeding can present in several forms:
Heavy Menstrual Bleeding (Menorrhagia): Excessive bleeding during menstruation.
Intermenstrual Bleeding: Bleeding between regular menstrual periods.
Prolonged Menstrual Bleeding: Menstrual periods that last longer than usual.
Postmenopausal Bleeding: Any bleeding that occurs after menopause.
The underlying causes of AUB can be broadly categorized into structural and non-structural causes.
Structural Causes
1. Uterine Fibroids: Non-cancerous growths in the uterus that can cause heavy menstrual bleeding and pelvic pain.
2. Polyps: Small growths on the lining of the uterus that can lead to irregular bleeding.
3. Adenomyosis: The presence of endometrial tissue within the uterine muscle, causing heavy and painful periods.
4. Malignancy and Hyperplasia: Cancerous growths or pre-cancerous changes in the endometrium can lead to abnormal bleeding.
Non-Structural Causes
1. Hormonal Imbalances: Irregularities in the hormones that regulate the menstrual cycle can result in abnormal bleeding.
2. Coagulopathies: Blood clotting disorders that affect the body’s ability to control bleeding.
3. Ovulatory Dysfunction: Irregular or absent ovulation can cause irregular menstrual bleeding.
4. Endometrial Causes: Infections or inflammations of the endometrium, such as endometritis.
5. Iatrogenic Causes: Bleeding caused by medical treatments, such as medications or intrauterine devices (IUDs).
6. Not Otherwise Classified: Other less common causes that don’t fit into the above categories.
Diagnosis at Shalom Clinic
Accurately diagnosing AUB is crucial for effective treatment. At Shalom Clinic, we employ a comprehensive diagnostic approach to identify the underlying cause of AUB:
1. Medical History and Physical Examination: Detailed medical history and physical examination to identify potential risk factors and symptoms.
2. Laboratory Tests: Blood tests to check for anemia, thyroid function, hormone levels, and clotting disorders.
3. Imaging Studies: Ultrasound, MRI, or hysterosonography to visualize the uterus and detect structural abnormalities.
4. Endometrial Biopsy: Sampling of the uterine lining to check for cancerous or pre-cancerous changes.
5. Hysteroscopy: A procedure where a small camera is inserted into the uterus to directly visualize the uterine cavity and identify abnormalities.
Treatment Options at Shalom Clinic
At Shalom Clinic, we offer a range of treatment options for AUB, tailored to the specific cause and severity of the condition. Our treatment strategies include:
Medication
Medications can be effective in managing AUB by addressing hormonal imbalances, reducing bleeding, or treating underlying conditions.
1. Hormonal Therapies:
Oral Contraceptives: Regulate menstrual cycles and reduce bleeding.
Progestins: Balance estrogen and reduce bleeding.
Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH) Agonists: Temporarily shrink fibroids and reduce bleeding.
2. Non-Hormonal Medications:
- Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs): Reduce menstrual blood loss and alleviate pain.
- Tranexamic Acid: Non-hormonal medication that helps reduce heavy menstrual bleeding.
3. Antibiotics: For treating infections causing AUB.
4. Iron Supplements: To treat anemia resulting from heavy menstrual bleeding.
Minimally Invasive Procedures
Shalom Clinic specializes in minimally invasive procedures that offer effective treatment with quicker recovery times.
1. Endometrial Ablation: Removal or destruction of the uterine lining to reduce or stop bleeding.
2. Uterine Artery Embolization (UAE): Blocks blood flow to fibroids, causing them to shrink.
3. Hysteroscopic Surgery: Removal of polyps or fibroids using a hysteroscope inserted through the cervix.
4. Dilation and Curettage (D&C): Scraping of the uterine lining to stop acute bleeding and obtain a tissue sample.
Surgical Options
In cases where medications and minimally invasive procedures are ineffective, surgery may be necessary.
1. Myomectomy: Surgical removal of fibroids while preserving the uterus.
2. Hysterectomy: Complete removal of the uterus, providing a definitive solution to AUB.
Post-Treatment Care at Shalom Clinic
Our commitment to patient care extends beyond the treatment itself. At Shalom Clinic, we provide comprehensive post-treatment care to ensure optimal recovery and long-term health:
1. Regular Follow-Up Visits: Monitoring progress and managing any potential complications.
2. Pain Management: Providing effective pain relief strategies to enhance recovery.
