Q

What are the different medical management option for DUB?

A

Mirena IUS
Tranexamic acid
Mefenamic acid (not as effective as tranexamic)
COCP
Progestogens (depo-provera or oral norethisterone)

If anovulatory cycles, try COCP to regulate. If not, try tranxeamic acid. PATIENT CHOICE is important.
