|
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. |
