Pathophysiology of abnormal uterine bleeding.
Abnormal uterine bleeding is a frequent patient complaint. Recognition of the severity of the problem, appropriate and timely evaluation, and treatment with good outcomes is the goal. The physician must determine which method of diagnosis he or she is most comfortable with, carefully consider the economic impact, and offer treatment that is best suited for each patient. With this practice patients will obtain maximum benefit from the newer treatments in development.
