Overview

Differential Diagnosis

Endometriosis is a cause of abnormal uterine bleeding and can result in infertility. There are several diseases which can result in excessive uterine bleeding and the following table is a description of various causes of excessive uterine bleeding.

Clinical Features Physical Examination Diagnostic Findings
Endometriosis
  • Dysmenorrhea
  • Dyspareunia
  • Infertility
  • Peak age of onset 25 to 35 years of age
  • Nodules in the posterior fornix
  • Adnexal masses
  • Fixed retroverted uterus
  • Lateral displacement of the cervix
  • IncreasedSerum cancer antigen-125 
  • Nodules of the rectovaginal septum and hypoechoic, vascular mass on MRI
  • Laproscopic visualization confirms the diagnosis
Adenomyosis[1]
  • Abnormal uterine bleeding
  • Dysmenorrhea
  • Peak age of onset 40 and 50 years of age
Diffuse uterine enlargement always less than size corresponding to less than 12 weeks of gestation
  • Asymmetric thickening of the myometrium on MRI
Submucous uterine leiomyomas[2]
  • Menorrhagia
  • Pelvic pressure and pain
  • Infertility
  • Peak age of onset 25 to 44 years of age
  • Mobile uterus with an irregular contour
  • Transvaginal ultrasound will demonstrate the presence of myomas
Pelvic Inflammatory disease[3]
  • Seen in patients with history of sexually transmitted disease
  • History of multiple sexual partners 
  • Common in women younger than 25 years of age
  • Abdominal tenderness 
  • Acute cervical motion, uterine, and adnexal tenderness
  • Visualization of urulent endocervical discharge 
  • Positive Nucleic acid amplification tests for C. trachomatis and N. gonorrhoeae
  • Gram negative diplococci on gram stain
Pelvic congestion Syndrome[4]
  • Shifting lower abdominal pain
  • Deep dyspareunia
  • Post-coital pain
  • Exacerbation of pain after prolonged standing 
  • Bimanual tenderness
  • Cervical motion tenderness
  • Pelvic varicosities on ultrasound with reduced blood flow
