PROSPECTIVE OBSERVATIONAL STUDY OF THE MANAGEMENT OF ABNORMAL UTERINE BLEEDING IN NON-PREGNANT WOMEN

Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is a common complaint that affects large numbers of women from puberty to menopause. It negatively affects health by causing anemia, and impacts the quality of life of women affected. AUB also has an economic impact for both women and society. Therefore, it should not be under- or overestimate and diagnosis, investigations and treatment should be proposed, taking into account the scientific data available in the current state of medical knowledge. Using the new terminology and etiologic classification of AUB is essential to communicate properly around the subject. The evaluation of the bleeding includes self-report and more objective methods.
