Abstract

To evaluate the causes of dysfunctional uterine bleeding in pre-menopausal, peri-menopausal and post-menopausal women.Material & methods: Data for this article was extracted from google scholar and PubMed, including 25 original articles published from 1992 to 2017.Conclusion: Dysfunctional uterine bleeding is a major source of anxiety among females of different age, as well as a frequent cause of emergency room visits and/or hospitalizations. The most prevalent causes of irregular uterine bleeding in perimenopausal women are benign endometrial and myometrial lesions, but endometrial hyperplasia and, in particular, uterine malignancies must be examined, especially as women get older.
