Overview
Dysfunctional or abnormal uterine bleeding is a condition experienced by women of varying ages and from various geographical locations. Although there isn't much information available on dysfunctional uterine bleeding as it encompasses a multitude of possible underlying causes, there is some historical information available regarding some common causes. conditions that have significant historical information include Adenomyosis, Leiomyoma, uterine malignancy, PCOS, as well as endometriosis.
Historical perspective
Dysfunctional or abnormal uterine bleeding is a condition experienced by women of varying ages and from various geographical locations. Although there isn't much information available on dysfunctional uterine bleeding as it encompasses a multitude of possible underlying causes, there is some historical information available regarding some common causes.
- Adenomyosis, the presence of ectopic endometrial tissue (the inner lining of the uterus) within the myometrium , was first discovered by Carl von Rokitansky in 1860. He first described the condition as “cystosarcoma adenoids uterinum”. [1]
- Leiomyoma are an accumulation of tumours, often of benign origin, that are made up primarily of smooth muscle and fibrous connective tissue. The first case of leiomyoma was described as “uterine stone” in 460-375 B.C. by Hippocrates. the term fibroid was later coined by Rokitansky and Klob in 1860 and 1863.The first laparotomy to treat leiomyoma was performed in 1809 by Ephraim McDowell.[2]
- Uterine malignancy was initially reported in the early 1900's. The first laparoscopic hysterectomy to resect malignant tissue was reported in 1992.[3]
- Ovulatory causes, such as Polycystic ovary syndrome, were first described in 1935 by American gynecologists Irving F. Stein, Sr. and Michael L. Leventhal.The earliest published description of PCOS was in 1721 in Italy.[4]
- Endometriosis was first described in the early 19th century, when Rokitansky described the presence of functional endometrial tissue outside of the uterine cavity in patients with ovarian and endometrial cancers.[5] In the 1920's, endometriosis was differentiated from adenomyosis and Rokitansky described a case series of 23 cases with the chocolate cyst of the ovary.[5]
