Abnormal uterine bleeding is not a diagnosis—it is a symptom that can have many different causes. Bleeding may result from hormonal changes, particularly during perimenopause, or from conditions involving the uterus and endometrium. Dr. Steven R. Goldstein believes that the key is not simply treating the bleeding, but carefully determining why it is occurring and choosing the most appropriate method of diagnosis for each woman.
For women experiencing unusual, heavy, irregular or postmenopausal bleeding—or those who have been told they need an endometrial biopsy—this Resource Center provides an opportunity to become better informed before making decisions about your care.
