Menstrual Disorders & Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (AUB)
Heavy periods, irregular cycles, or absent periods are not “just normal.” They are diagnostic clues. We use the FIGO PALM-COEIN framework to identify the underlying cause and offer targeted, evidence-based treatment.
Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) affects up to 30% of women in reproductive years. Treatment depends on the specific cause — structural (PALM) or non-structural (COEIN) — not on the bleeding pattern alone.
Key Points
- FIGO PALM-COEIN systematic classification
- Targeted hormonal workup
- Pelvic ultrasound + saline-infusion sonography where indicated
- Hormonal IUDs, oral contraceptives, tranexamic acid for medical management
- Hysteroscopic polypectomy or myomectomy for structural causes
- Endometrial ablation or hysterectomy only when family is complete and conservative approaches fail
