Overview
Around 3%-30% of women worldwide are affected by dysfunctional uterine bleed. A majority of cases occur either at menarche or near menopause. during this time, the imbalance between estrogen and progesterone is treated, leading to abnormal bleeding patterns. In younger girls, an immature hypothalamic axis contributes to the conditions well.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Worldwide, the incidence of women affected by dysfunctional uterine bleeding is estimated to be around 3%-30%. It is more common for cases to occur around menarche when the menstrual cycle initially begins or around menopause when the natural menstrual cycle is nearing its end.[1] Of the women affected, 25% are in their reproductive ages.[2]. Over 80% of patients experiencing with menorrhagia presenting with some sort of underlying cause of dysfunctional endometrial bleeding.[3]
- In the UK, uptown 800000 women present with abnormal uterine bleeding every year[2]
- A study done in Turkey showed that the average age of affected patients was 15 years and almost 63% had at least one episode of irregular bleeding[4]
