New pathway: Adolescent abnormal uterine bleeding

Nov 15, 2024

A new pathway has been unveiled for adolescents under 18 years of age who are suffering from abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB).

The pathway applies to any female who has menarche and:

  • Aims to facilitate the prompt management of AUB — bleeding that occurs outside of the normal 24- to 38-day pattern — in the medical home
  • Includes evidence-based diagnosis, investigations, and management and guidelines for when to make a referral or seek non-urgent advice
