Q

describe the pathophys of dysfunctional uterine bleeding - chronic anovulatory

A

Disruption of hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis. Seen at the extremes of age. Unopposed estrogen, without ovulation there is no progesterone = unopposed estrogen → incr endometrial growth w/ irregular, unpredictable shedding as the endometrium outgrows its own blood supply.

Q

txt goals and options for dysfxn uterine bleeding

A

control acute bleed, prevent future bleeding, minimize endometrial CA risk
Acute severe bleed: high dose IV estrogen or high dose OCPs. reduce dose as bleeding improves
MC Anovulatory or Ovulatory: OCPs, progesterone if estrogen is contraindicated, GnRH agonists (leuprolide).
Sx: hysterectomy or endometrial ablation
