About the Condition
What is Abnormal Uterine Bleeding?
Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) refers to any uterine bleeding that differs from a woman's normal menstrual pattern in terms of frequency, duration, volume, or regularity, and it is one of the most common reasons women seek gynaecological care. Left unaddressed, it can lead to iron-deficiency anaemia, significant disruption to daily life, and in some cases may signal underlying conditions such as fibroids, endometrial polyps, hormonal imbalances, coagulation disorders, or endometrial pathology including hyperplasia or malignancy. Risk factors include age, obesity, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), use of certain medications or hormonal therapies, and a family or personal history of bleeding disorders. A thorough assessment—covering medical history, menstrual pattern, physical examination, and targeted investigations—is essential before any management plan is considered.

Treatment options for Abnormal Uterine Bleeding
Care may include lifestyle changes, medical treatment, specialist review or a procedure, depending on the diagnosis, associated conditions and individual goals. The options below are associated with this condition in the GAF Healthcare directory.
Hysteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure in which a thin, lighted telescope (hysteroscope) is passed through the vagina and cervix into the uterus to directly visualize the uterine cavity.
Why it may be consideredIt is used to diagnose and often simultaneously treat causes of abnormal uterine bleeding, infertility, and endometrial disorders such as polyps, fibroids, adhesions, or septa. The procedure can be purely diagnostic or combined with operative correction in the same sitting.
A hysterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the uterus, performed to treat conditions such as uterine prolapse, abnormal uterine bleeding, fibroids, adenomyosis, or gynaecological cancers when conservative treatments have failed.
Why it may be consideredDepending on the underlying condition and anatomy, the surgery can be performed laparoscopically, vaginally, or through an open abdominal incision. India offers advanced minimally invasive options performed by experienced gynaecological surgeons at a fraction of the cost of Western countries.

Common questions
FAQs about Abnormal Uterine Bleeding in Abu Dhabi, UAE
What is Abnormal Uterine Bleeding?
Abnormal uterine bleeding is uterine bleeding that falls outside the normal parameters for cycle frequency (fewer than 24 or more than 38 days apart), duration (more than 8 days), or volume, or that occurs at unexpected times such as between periods or after menopause. It is a clinical finding with many possible underlying causes, not a diagnosis in itself.
What are the symptoms and health risks of Abnormal Uterine Bleeding?
Common presentations include periods that are unusually heavy (soaking through protection rapidly or passing large clots), prolonged bleeding lasting more than a week, bleeding between menstrual cycles, or any uterine bleeding occurring after menopause. Associated symptoms such as pelvic pain, fatigue from anaemia, or bloating may also be present, and their pattern can offer useful clinical clues. It is important to note that symptom description alone is not sufficient to identify the underlying cause—formal clinical evaluation is required.
How is Abnormal Uterine Bleeding diagnosed?
Diagnosis typically begins with a structured menstrual history and pelvic examination, followed by blood tests including a full blood count, hormonal profile (FSH, LH, TSH, prolactin), and coagulation studies where indicated. Pelvic ultrasound is usually the first-line imaging investigation and can identify structural causes such as fibroids or polyps; a transvaginal approach often provides greater detail. Where endometrial pathology is suspected—particularly in women over 45 or those with risk factors for endometrial cancer—an endometrial biopsy or hysteroscopy may be recommended to obtain tissue for histological assessment, and findings are classified using standardised systems such as the PALM-COEIN framework, which categorises causes as structural (Polyp, Adenomyosis, Leiomyoma, Malignancy) or non-structural (Coagulopathy, Ovulatory dysfunction, Endometrial, Iatrogenic, Not yet classified).
How is Abnormal Uterine Bleeding treated?
Treatment is always guided by the underlying cause, the woman's age, reproductive intentions, severity of symptoms, and overall health status, and should be determined in consultation with a qualified clinician after full evaluation. Options range from medical management—including hormonal therapies, tranexamic acid, or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for symptom control—to minimally invasive procedures such as hysteroscopy, which allows direct visualisation and treatment of intrauterine lesions, through to surgical interventions including endometrial ablation or hysterectomy for cases where other approaches have failed or are inappropriate. No single treatment is universally suitable, and the most appropriate pathway depends entirely on individual clinical assessment.
Can Abnormal Uterine Bleeding be treated without surgery?
Many women with abnormal uterine bleeding are successfully managed without surgery. Hormonal options such as the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (hormonal IUD), combined oral contraceptives, progestogens, or GnRH analogues can substantially reduce bleeding and are often the first line of treatment; non-hormonal medications such as tranexamic acid or NSAIDs may also be used to manage heavy periods. Where an underlying condition such as thyroid dysfunction or a bleeding disorder is identified, treating that condition directly may resolve the bleeding without any uterine-specific intervention.
When is Hysteroscopy considered for Abnormal Uterine Bleeding?
Hysteroscopy may be considered when conservative or medical options have not achieved enough improvement, or when the severity of the condition warrants it. The decision depends on clinical assessment, expected benefits and individual risks.
Which doctor treats Abnormal Uterine Bleeding?
Abnormal uterine bleeding is primarily evaluated and managed by a gynaecologist, and complex or high-risk cases—particularly where endometrial malignancy is suspected—may involve a gynaecological oncologist. Where a systemic cause such as a coagulation disorder or thyroid disease is identified, collaborative input from a haematologist or endocrinologist may also be part of the care team.
How do I choose a doctor for Abnormal Uterine Bleeding?
When selecting a specialist for abnormal uterine bleeding, it is worth considering the clinician's experience with hysteroscopic procedures and endometrial assessment alongside their access to multidisciplinary support, including oncology and radiology, should further investigation be needed. Continuity of care and clear follow-up arrangements are particularly important, as management may evolve over time depending on treatment response and changes in reproductive plans.
What documents do international patients need to share for a medical evaluation?
Share a medical summary, investigation and imaging or biopsy reports where relevant, a current medication list, previous diagnoses and related treatment records. Provide clear copies with translation where needed.
