Vaginal Bleeding - Treatment

RSS Feeds   Text 
Treatment for abnormal vaginal bleeding entirely depends on the underlying cause. Once the cause is determined, the doctor decides on the mode of treatment best suited for the patient.

• If the cause of the bleeding is due to lack of release of eggs or anovulation doctors may prescribe progesterone or an oral contraceptive containing progesterone.

• If the bleeding is due to endometrial hyperplasia progesterone medications may be recommended.

• If a woman is bleeding because she is entering menopause, an oral contraceptive may be advised in addition to counseling.

• In case of infection antibiotics are administered.

• Endometriosis may be treated with medicines or with procedures like laproscopy.

• If the bleeding is due to any growth, cancerous or otherwise, surgery may be advised. In case of malignanacy a hysterctomy may be carried out.

• In case of dysfunctional uterine bleeding oral contraceptives can improve the cycle and can help to control and lessen bleeding. For excessive bleeding, dilation and curettage (D&C) can be done.
