Adolesanlarda Anormal Uterin Kanamaya Jinekolog Gözüyle Yaklaşım

Cenk YaşaÖzlem Dural

Bu makale adolesanlarda görülen anormal uterin kanamada güncel yaklaşımı ve yönetimi derlemektedir. Okuyucular orta ve şiddetli uterin kanamanın değerlendirmesi ve tedavisine pratik yaklaşımı bulacaklardır. Anormal uterin kanama adolesanlarda sık görülmekle birlikte yaşam kalitesini önemli miktarda bozan bir durumdur. Bu dönemde anovulatuar sikluslar sık görülmekte ve anormal uterin kanamanın en sık nedenini oluşturmaktadır. Değerlendirmede öyküye bakılmaksızın öncelikli olarak gebelik, travma ve cinsel yolla bulaşan hastalıklar dışlanmalıdır. Hafif kanamalarda yalnızca izlem yeterliyken akut ve hayatı tehdit edici kanamalarda yüksek doz kombine oral kontraseptiflerin kullanımı, intravenöz östrojen verilmesi gerekebilmekte, hatta dirençli durumlarda cerrahi girişimlere kadar gereklilik duyulabilmektedir.
