RESUMEN
DUB is a common symptom which is mainly due to disorders of ovulation and local endometrial dysfunction. The diagnosis should be made only after excluding organic pelvic disease. Anaemia and other endocrine and systemic causes of DUB must be treated promptly. Spontaneous cure is also possible. However, in patients in whom the symptoms persist, drug treatment with combined oestrogen-progestogen, anti-prostaglandin and anti-fibrinolytic agents is often effective. Hysterectomy and hysteroscopic endometrial ablation are contemplated only in persistent DUB in older and parous women and radiotherapy has no place amongst the modern modalities of management.
