Current thoughts on the management of dysfunctional uterine bleeding

Eighty-five private patients, affected by uterine bleeding, were studied and treated by employing norethindrone acetate-ethinyl estradiol combination. Three different regimens of therapy were tried. Hemostasis was readily achieved in almost all but a few instances. The availability of potent progestogens now permits a conservative management of dysfunctional uterine bleeding eliminating the need for repeated curettage or surgical interference.
