Anovulatory or dysfunctional uterine bleeding is a diagnosis of exclusion. In women of childbearing age, treatment is aimed at achieving regular menstrual cycles with normal patterns. Oral contraceptives are frequently used for this purpose. If pregnancy is desired, ovulation induction may be attempted with medication. In older women who may be approaching menopause, treatment may be elected to offset symptoms.
Hormonal regulation is usually successful in alleviating symptoms.
