title: [Menometrorrhagia in adolescence].
abstract: Forty-six patients with the diagnosis of menometrorrhagia, currently under control in the infantile and adolescent unit of Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital del Salvador. We emphasize that uterine hemorrhage is a frequent emergency during adolescence requiring fully studies. Medical treatment using different hormonal schemes solve the majority of menometrorrhagias. Only a small group require a D & C using the virginal approach. Patients should be controlled during various cycles once bleeding is stopped to avoid relapse and future problems related with anovulation, endometrial hyperplasia or fertility problems.
