| ==Overview==
| |
| There are many differential diagnosis' for dysfunctional uterine bleeding, many of them resulting in abnormal presentation of bleeding. Some prevalent conditions include anatomical or structural defects, [[coagulation]] disorders, [[Pregnancy complications|pregnancy]] related complications, [[endometrial cancer]] and [[hyperplasia]], as well as [[Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome]].

| |
| |Anatomic or structural lesions
| |
| |
| |
| *Uterine or [[cervical polyp]]s
| |
| *[[Uterine leiomyoma]]
| |
| *Foreign body
| |
| |Pelvic or transvaginal [[Ultrasonography]]
| |

| |
| |[[Coagulation]] disorders
| |
| |
| |
| *Clotting factor disorder: [[Hemophilia]], hepatic disease, anticoagulant use, renal disease, [[Von Willebrand's Disease]]
| |
| *Platelet dysfunction: [[Leukemia]], [[Thrombocytopenia]], and related medications

| |
| |[[Pregnancy complications]]
| |
| |
| |
| *[[Placental abruption]]
| |
| *[[Ectopic Pregnancy]]
| |
| *[[Miscarriage]]
| |
| *[[Spontaneous abortions|Spontaneous abortion]]
| |
| *[[Placenta previa]]
| |
| |[[Human chorionic gonadotropin|B-hCG]] should be the first test to detect the presence of pregnancy. Visualization of the defect requires pelvic or transvaginal [[ultrasonography]]

| |
| |Risk factors include:
| |
| | |
| *[[Diabetes Mellitus]]
| |
| *Unopposed [[estrogen]]
| |
| *[[Obesity]]
| |
| *Older age
| |
| *Chronic [[anovulation]]
| |
| *[[Ddx:Hypertension|Hypertension]]
| |
| |Upon [[transvaginal ultrasonography]], endometrial cancer will present as a [[thicked endometrial strip]]. Confirmation requires an [[endometrial biopsy]].
| |
| |-
| |
| |[[Endometrial hyperplasia]]
| |
| |
| |
| *Exogenous extrogen
| |
| *Excess of endogenous estrogen
| |
| *DUB (dysfunctional uterine bleeding) is a diagnosis of exclusion
| |
| |Endometrial hyperplasia realted changes may be seen on [[ultrasonography]]. Obtaining a detailed history of medication use may be of assistance in coming to a diagnosis.

| *Obesity
| |
| *Hereditary facotors
| |
| |PCOS may initially be suspected upon physical examination, commonly presenting with [[hirsutism]] and [[weight gain]]. Confirmation requires [[FSH]]/[[LH]] level abnormalities as well as multiple [[ovarian cysts]] seen on [[ultrasonography]].
