Our Women’s Health Matters series resumes with a discussion about Abnormal Uterine Bleeding by our Women’s Health Task Force Chairwoman, Dr. Dominique DiLorenzo. At this in-person event, we will:
Discuss the attributes of a normal period.
Discuss abnormal and heavy bleeding patterns.
Identify and discuss symptoms of endometriosis.
Identify treatment options.
The simple definition of Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (AUB) is a condition that results in uterine bleeding outside the normal volume, duration, regularity or frequency. AUB is much more complicated than just blood flow during the menstrual cycle. It's a condition with a variety of causes and symptoms. It can turn your period cycle upside down, and no two women have the same experience. Women who experience AUB have many other symptoms that significantly impact their personal and professional lives: cramps and bloating, pressure on the bowel and bladder, constipation, infertility, anxiety, depression, pain during sex, extreme fatigue, social fears around bleeding in public, problems sleeping, intimacy issues, and anemia.
