Diagnosing dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) involves several steps to determine the underlying cause of abnormal bleeding. Here’s a general approach:
1. Medical History and Physical Examination: Your doctor will review your medical history, including menstrual patterns, and perform a physical exam to identify any potential causes.
2. Pregnancy Test: A urine or blood test to rule out pregnancy as a cause of abnormal bleeding.
3. Blood Tests: Complete blood count (CBC) to check for anemia and coagulation tests to assess blood clotting.
4. Hormone Levels: Blood tests to measure levels of hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and prolactin.
5. Ultrasound: Pelvic ultrasound to examine the uterus and ovaries for any abnormalities like fibroids or polyps.
6. Endometrial Biopsy: A sample of the uterine lining may be taken to check for abnormal cells or cancer.
7. Hysteroscopy: A procedure where a thin, lighted tube is inserted into the uterus to view the inside of the uterine cavity.
8. Other Imaging: CT scans or MRI may be used if further detail is needed.
These tests help narrow down the cause of DUB and guide appropriate treatment.
