Treatment
Management of dysfunctional uterine bleeding predominantly consists of reassurance, though mid-cycle estrogen and late-cycle progestin can be used for mid- and late-cycle bleeding respectively. Also, non-specific hormonal therapy such as combined estrogen and progestin can be given.
The goal of therapy should be to arrest bleeding, replace lost iron to avoid anemia, and prevent future bleeding.
In general;
- IV estrogen, blood transfusion, IV fluids, curettage, hysterectomy or ligation of uterine artery are used to treat acute life-threatening bleeds.
- Treatment of underlying etiologies.
