Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "Menstrual Disorders” by Geetha Kamath, MD.

This medical PowerPoint presentation is about menstrual disorders, a variety of conditions that affect a womans menstrual cycle, including irregular periods, heavy bleeding, painful periods, absence of menstruation, and other related symptoms. Here are some common types of menstrual disorders:

Dysmenorrhea: This is the medical term for painful periods. It is characterized by severe cramps in the lower abdomen and back that can make it difficult for women to carry out their daily activities.
Amenorrhea: This is the absence of menstruation. Primary amenorrhea refers to the failure to start menstruating by the age of 16, while secondary amenorrhea is the absence of menstruation for three or more months in women who previously had regular periods.
Menorrhagia: This is the medical term for heavy menstrual bleeding. It is characterized by bleeding that lasts longer than seven days or soaking through a pad or tampon every hour for several hours in a row.
Irregular periods: This refers to menstrual cycles that are shorter than 21 days or longer than 35 days, or menstrual cycles that vary in length from one month to the next.
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS): This is a group of symptoms that occur in the days leading up to a womans period. Symptoms can include bloating, mood swings, and breast tenderness.
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): This is a hormonal disorder that can cause irregular periods, acne, and excess hair growth. Women with PCOS may also experience infertility.
Endometriosis: This is a condition in which the tissue that normally lines the inside of the uterus grows outside of it, causing pain and discomfort during menstruation and sexual intercourse.

If you are experiencing any of these menstrual disorders, it is important to talk to your healthcare provider to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.

Slide 1-

Menstrual Disorders Geetha Kamath, M.D. Dept. of Medicine West Virginia University
Slide 2-

Definition Normal menstrual cycle involves hypothalamus-pituitary-ovary and uterus and is 28 days Vaginal bleeding is abnormal (Abnormal Uterine Bleeding--AUB) when: Volume is excessive or Occurs at times other than expected, including during pregnancy or menopause Known as dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) when organic causes are excluded
Slide 3-

AUB Duration >7 days or Flow >80ml/cycle or Occurs more frequently than 21 days or Occurs more than 90 days apart or Intermenstrual or postcoital bleeding
Slide 4-

Terminology Menorrhagia: excessive flow Menometrorrhagia: excessive volume Oligomenorrhea: scanty flow Dysmenorrhea: painful menstrual cycles
Slide 5-

Causes of Menstrual Disorders Structural Pregnancy associated Hormonal and endocrine Hematologic and coagulation disorders Other
Slide 6-

Causes--structural Endometrial polyps Endometrial hyperplasia Endometritis Fibroids Intrauterine devices Uterine arterio-venous malformation (AVM) Uterine sarcoma
Slide 7-

Pregnancy related Implantational bleeding Ectopic pregnancy Spontaneous abortion [incomplete, missed, septic, threatened] Therapeutic abortion Gestational trophoblastic disease
Slide 8-

Hormonal and Endocrine causes Anovulatory (including polycystic ovary syndrome) Ovarian cyst Estrogen-producing ovarian tumor Perimenopause Hormonal contraceptives Hormone Replacement Therapy Hypothyroidism
Slide 9-

Hematologic Von Willebrand’s disease (most common inherited bleeding disorder with frequency 1/800-1000) Hemophilia Thrombocytopenia Hematologic malignancies (leukemia) Liver disease
Slide 10-

Other DUB (dysfunctional uterine bleeding): non-organic causes, either ovulatory or anovulatory Fallopian tube cancer Trauma Foreign body Cervical bleeding--mets, cervicitis, cervical cancer Vaginitis--atrophic, cancer of vagina Endometrial cancer (10% of post-menopausal bleeding)
Slide 11-

Evaluation of Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (AUB) Acute History suggestive of: Pregnancy and related complications Recent and Heavy bleeding Pelvic pain Medications contributing to above Chronic History: Long standing abnormal menstrual history Symptoms of anemia, hypothyroidism, perimenopause Personal or family history of excessive bleeding
Slide 12-

AUB Examination Assess vitals/hemodynamic stability Look for features of anemia (pallor, tachycardia, syncope) Look for features of hypothyroidism Look for metabolic syndrome (obesity, hirsutism, acne) Pelvic exam for structural abnormalities: fibroids, pregnancy, active bleeding—uterine vs. cervical bleeding
Slide 13-

AUB Lab Studies Serum HCG to rule out pregnancy CBC and iron studies to assess severity of anemia TSH for thyroid disorders Coagulation studies (PT, PTT, platelet count, VWF) (primarily for adolescents) Transvaginal ultrasound to look for fibroids and other masses/lesions Endometrial biopsy to rule out endometrial cancer in perimenopausal and chronic anovulatory cycles (primarily for women >35 years with AUB and postmenopausal women) Sonohysterography is useful in diagnosis of anatomical lesions which might even be missed with transvaginal ultrasound
Slide 14-

Treatment of Chronic Menorrhagia for Most Causes (including DUB) Combined hormonal contraceptives (cyclical or continuous) DMPA (depot medroxyprogesterone) IUD (Intrauterine devices)
Slide 15-

Treatment options continued After excluding coagulopathy, pregnancy, or malignancy: Progestins Estrogens including oral contraceptives Cyclic NSAIDS Dilatation and curettage (surgical) Endometrial ablation (surgical) Hysteroscopic endometrial resection (surgical)
Slide 16-

Treatment for Fibroids Surgical: Hysterectomy/myomectomy, uterine artery ablation Medical: Suppression of gonadotropins (danazol and leuprolide)
Slide 17-

Treatment: progestins Inhibits endometrial growth by inhibiting synthesis of estrogen receptors, promotes conversion of estradiol to estrone, inhibits LH Organized slough to basalis layer Stimulates arachidonic acid production Progestins preferred for those women with anovulatory AUB
Slide 18-

Progestational Agents Cyclic medroxyprogesterone 2.5-10mg daily for 10-14 days Continuous medroxyprogesterone 2.5-5mg daily DMPA 150 mg IM every 3 months Levonorgestrel IUD (5 years)
Slide 19-

Estrogens Conjugated estrogens given IV every 6 hours effective in controlling heavy bleeding followed by oral estrogen For less severe bleeding, oral conjugated estrogens 1.25 mg, 2 tabs qid--until bleeding stops
Slide 20-

NSAIDS Cyclooxygenase pathway is blocked Arachidonic acid conversion from prostaglandins to thromboxane and prostacyclin (which promotes bleeding by causing vasodilation and platelet aggregation) is blocked
Slide 21-

Clinical Highlights Most common cause of AUB in reproductive age is pregnancy related--so initial evaluation must include pregnancy test. Pregnancy must be ruled out before initiating invasive testes or medical therapy
Slide 22-

Clinical Highlights Endometrial biopsy is recommended for post menopausal women Or Younger women with history of chronic anovulation >35 years of age
Slide 23-

Clinical Highlights Uterine cancer and endometrial hyperplasia must be ruled out before medical therapy is initiated in postmenopausal/perimenopausal bleeding NSAIDS may reduce menstrual flow by 20-60% in women with chronic menorrhagia Coagulopathy workup must be initiated in menorrhagia in adolescents
