Overview
Session 1 : Heavy Menstrual Bleeding diagnosis and treatment options in 2017. Australian Commission on Safety and Quality. A/Prof Kirsten Black, Dr Louise Sterling & A/Prof Deborah Bateson.
Heavy menstrual bleeding is a common problem affecting 25% of women of reproductive age1 and is the most common presentation of abnormal uterine bleeding in pre-menopausal women. Heavy menstrual bleeding has diverse causes and women may have more than one cause for their symptoms. Assessment and initial history-taking is crucial to guide investigation and management. The PALM-COEIN classification supports clinical assessment of the type of abnormal bleeding (flow, frequency and timing), as well as underlying structural (e.g. fibroids, polyps, malignancy) and non-structural causes (e.g. hormonal factors). Many women can be effectively managed in general practice without procedural intervention, yet there is evidence of regional variation in surgical treatment. Using a case-based approach, the workshop aims to improve participants’ confidence in assessing and managing heavy menstrual bleeding, and will provide practical approaches for rural practitioners
