Q

HMB

First line Ix

A

Blood test:
- CBC: Hb, platelets
- Pregnancy test: to exclude pregnancy → must be done (or document no unprotected sex) before EA
- ± clotting profile: if HMB since menarche, or FHx +ve
- ± Fe profile: for Fe def anemia
- ± TFT: only when clinically symptomatic (uncommon)

Further investigations:
- Endometrial aspirate/sampling (EA) (子宮內膜吸取術)
- Hysteroscopy (宮腔鏡檢查術) ± endometrial biopsy
- Pelvic US when suspect structural pathology
- Saline infusion sonography (sonohysterography, SIS)

Medical management options

A

Hormonal treatment:
- Combined OC pills (COCP): 1st line unless C/I
- Levonorgestrel IUD (Mirena): also 1st line unless C/I
- High-dose oral progestin: if prefer to avoid or C/I to estrogen
- Danazol: a/w significant S/E, NOT used nowadays
- Gonadotrophin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa): a/w significant S/E, NOT used nowadays

Non-hormonal treatment:
- NSAIDs: e.g. mefenamic acid (Ponstan)
- Tranexamic acid (TXA, Transamin): antifibrinolytic agent (flow control only)
- Fe supplement: FeSO4 300mg BD ×12w

Timing: need not await amenorrhea before starting HRT

72
Q

HRT

When to stop therapy

A

Standard duration about 2-3 years
Taper from standard to low dose after 1st year
