ABSTRACT

Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is defined by the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics as bleeding from the uterine corpus that is abnormal in regularity, volume, frequency, or duration and occurs in the absence of pregnancy. AUB is a common condition that affects about a third of women in their lifetime. Abnormal bleeding in duration, quantity, or timing consists of 2 categories, predictable cyclical heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) and irregular non-cyclical intermenstrual bleeding (IMB). The most common causes of HMB include fibroids and adenomyosis and IMB is commonly caused by ovulatory dysfunction such as in polycystic ovaries, endometrial polyp, or an IUD. A pelvic ultrasound is the initial and often only imaging modality needed in the imaging evaluation of abnormal uterine bleeding and can accurately identify the common causes of abnormal uterine bleeding in the reproductive age group.
