  • Chapter
Pediatric and Adolescent Obstetrics and Gynecology

Part of the book series: Clinical Perspective in Obstetrics and Gynecology ((CPOG))

Abstract

Abnormal vaginal bleeding is one of the most common adolescent gynecologic problems. It is a cause of anxiety both for patient and parent. This chapter presents an orderly approach to the differential diagnosis and treatment of abnormal uterine bleeding. The importance of defining an underlying endocrinologic or hematologic abnormality as well as understanding the pathophysiology of the problem is emphasized.
