Oral hormonal therapy as treatment option for abnormal uterine bleeding
CONCLUSIONS: In daily clinical practice, oral hormonal therapies are convenient and reversible tools to manage AUB when LNG-IUS 52 mg is contraindicated or turn down by the patient. Many oral hormonal therapies are prescribed to treat AUB, but only a few have been approved with this specific indication, therefore further large well-designed studies are necessary in order to compare the efficacy of different pills for treating AUB.PMID:37955241 | DOI:10.1080/13625187.2023.2270098 (Source: The European Journal of Contraception and Reproductive Health Care)

Menstrual cycle abnormalities in women: characteristics, perceptions, and health-seeking behaviours
CONCLUSION: The participants in this study exhibited insufficient health-seeking behaviour for abnormal menstruation characteristics. Women should be directed by health professionals to reliable online sources to seek help, and they should be encouraged to display professional health-seeking behaviour.SHORT CONDENSATION: The knowledge and perception of menstruation characteristics among women is inadequate. The results of this study suggested that many gynecological symptoms that can affect women in their later stages of life may be unintentionally ignored.PMID:37910035 | DOI:10.1080/13625187.2023.2273753 (Source: The Euro...
