AUB can severely impair normal everyday life and work, and can cause anemia, embarrassment, pain and other difficulties. AUB can be caused by a variety of factors and there are several treatments available.
Normal menstruation is caused by a drop in progesterone.
If you don't ovulate, your ovaries don't produce progesterone, so the lining doesn't shed the way it normally would. Instead, it continues to grow and then starts falling apart, resulting in irregular spotting, heavy bleeding, or bleeding throughout the month. To restore hormonal balance, and a normal lining, your doctor may prescribe progesterone alone or birth control pills, which contain both estrogen and progesterone. Made of soft uterine lining tissue, polyps usually dangle from stalks into the uterus where they are easily seen with a hysteroscope. They usually don't cause pain, but can cause abnormal bleeding, even when small.
