ABSTRACT

O presente estudo tem como objetivo relatar o caso de uma paciente com malformação arteriovenosa uterina, efetivamente tratada com embolização seletiva e com fertilidade preservada. A malformação arteriovenosa uterina é uma alteração vascular rara até então pouco descrita na literatura. A paciente do sexo feminino apresentou quadro de sangramento uterino anormal, com início 30 dias após um abortamento, sem realização de curetagem, de uma gestação resultante de fertilização in vitro. Foram, então, realizados exames de imagem, que levaram ao diagnóstico de malformação arteriovenosa uterina. O tratamento de escolha foi a embolização arterial seletiva, com resolução do caso. Após sete meses, nova fertilização in vitro foi realizada, encontrando-se na 36a semana de gestação. São necessários mais estudos sobre essa malformação a fim de que sejam estabelecidos os métodos mais eficazes para o manejo de casos futuros, especialmente quando há desejo de gestar.


The present study aims to report the case of a patient with uterine arteriovenous malformation, effectively treated with selective embolization and with preserved fertility. Uterine arteriovenous malformation is a rare vascular disorder that has so far been rarely described in the literature. Female patient presented with abnormal uterine bleeding, starting 30 days after an abortion without subsequent curettage, of a pregnancy resulting from in vitro fertilization. Imaging tests were then performed that led to the diagnosis of uterine arteriovenous malformation. The treatment of choice was selective arterial embolization, with successful results. After seven months, a new in vitro fertilization was performed, being in the 36th week of pregnancy. Further studies on this pathology are needed in order to establish the most effective methods for the management of future cases, especially when there is a desire to become pregnant.

ABSTRACT

Resumen: Introducción: La enfermedad renal crónica (ERC) se asocia con alteraciones menstruales, y el manejo del sangrado uterino suele ser complejo por las condiciones de este grupo de pacientes. El objetivo de este trabajo fue describir la respuesta clínica al tratamiento hormonal de las alteraciones menstruales de adolescentes con ERC. Métodos: Se presentan los datos de una serie de casos de pacientes adolescentes con ERC que cursaron con alteraciones menstruales y que recibieron tratamiento desde el año 2008 al 2012. Se identificaron las características del trastorno menstrual, del tratamiento hormonal recibido y de la respuesta al mismo. El análisis estadístico fue descriptivo. Resultados: Se estudiaron 11 pacientes de sexo femenino con edad promedio de 14.5 años, que se encontraban en prediálisis (n = 1), diálisis peritoneal (n = 7) y hemodiálisis (n = 3). Las pacientes presentaron hiperpolimenorrea asociada a la opsomenorrea (n = 3), en su mayoría clasificadas como hemorragia uterina anormal secundaria. El tratamiento, en general, fue con progestágenos de manera inicial (clormadinona con o sin medroxiprogesterona) o bien con anticonceptivos combinados. En la mayoría de las pacientes se obtuvo una respuesta favorable; sin embargo, hubo casos en los que fue necesario modificar la dosis y el tiempo de tratamiento. Conclusiones: La mayor parte de las adolescentes con ERC que han sido tratadas por hemorragia uterina anormal en nuestro estudio tuvieron una respuesta favorable al tratamiento hormonal.


Abstract: Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with menstrual abnormalities and management of uterine bleeding is often complex because of the conditions in this group of patients. The aim of this study was to describe the clinical response to hormonal treatment of menstrual alterations in adolescents with CKD. Methods: We present data of cases of adolescent patients with CKD who had undergone menstrual changes and received treatment during the period 2008 to 2012. The characteristics of the menstrual disorder, hormone treatment received, and response to treatment were evaluated. The statistical analysis aplicated to analyze the results was descriptive. Results: We studied 11 patients with a mean age of 14.5 years, who were in predialysis (n = 1), peritoneal dialysis (n = 7), hemodialysis (n = 3). Patients had hyperpolymenorrhea associated with opsomenorrhea (n = 3), mostly classified as secondary abnormal uterine bleeding. Treatment, in general, was with progestins initially (chlormadinone with or without medroxyprogesterone) or combined contraceptives. In the majority of the patients, a favorable response was obtained; however, there were cases where it was necessary to modify the dose and time of treatment. Conclusions: The majority of adolescents with CKD who have been treated for abnormal uterine bleeding in our study had a favorable response to hormonal treatment.

ABSTRACT

Este estudo tem como objetivo rever o estado da arte e racional para guiar a conduta no sangramento anormal durante a terapia hormonal combinada sequencial na perimenopausa. Antes de iniciar a terapia, é essencial excluir qualquer condição pélvica anormal, identificar as mulheres com maior risco de sangramento e moldar o regime às características clínico-laboratoriais de cada paciente. Na perimenopausa, particularmente na mulher que ainda mantém secreção ovariana de estrogênio ou mesmo estrogênio-progesterona, o regime de escolha é o combinado sequencial. Tatear a dose individualmente é recomendável nos primeiros meses de uso. Qualquer ação para parar o sangramento deve ser baseada na identificação correta da causa subjacente. É importante observar se o sangramento ocorre na fase estrogênica ou progestogênica da combinação utilizada, se o seu início foi precedido de longo tempo de sangramento normal, se houve introdução de medicação concomitante e se a ingesta tem sido regular. O tratamento consiste no ajuste da dose do estrogênio ou do progestogênio, na troca do progestogênio para outro com maior impacto sobre o endométrio, ou na troca do regime combinado sequencial para o combinado contínuo, como medida de exceção.(AU)


The current study aimed to review the state of art and provide a rational approach to the diagnosis and treatment of abnormal bleeding during combined sequential hormone therapy (HT). Before starting, it is essential to exclude any pelvic abnormal condition, to identify those women with higher risk of bleeding and to tailor the regimen to the needs of individual women. During perimenopause, particularly in women still keeping ovarian secretion, the choice is the combined sequential regimen. It is recommended to titer the dosis individually. Any action to stop the bleeding must be based on correct identification of the underlying cause. It is important to consider whether the bleeding started in the strogenic or progestogenic phases of the combined regimen, if the abnormal bleeding was preceded of long-term normal bleeding or if any concomitant medication was prescribed. The core treatment consists of estrogen/progestogen dose adjustment, change of the progestogen, or change of the sequential to the combined continuos regimen an exceptional measure.(AU)

ABSTRACT

O Sangramento Uterino Anormal (SUA) representa um problema de saúde pública complexo que pode acometer 1/3 das mulheres em todo o mundo. Apresenta um impacto negativo importante na qualidade de vida de mulheres e associa-se a elevados custos econômicos diretos e indiretos. Trata-se de uma condição desafiadora tanto para as mulheres afetadas quanto para os profissionais de saúde. A nomenclatura atribuída ao SUA é confusa e faltam ainda recomendações diagnósticas e terapêuticas padronizadas. Foi criado o grupo Heavy Menstrual Bleeding: Evidence-based Learning for Best Practice (HELP) com proposta abordar os aspectos inconclusivos do SUA. Foram avaliados 134 documentos, incluindo 121 artigos científicos e 14 revisões de medicamentos, para desenvolvimento dos protocolos HELP. Foram elaborados protocolos simplificados referentes ao diagnóstico e tratamento do SUA, visando contribuir de forma mais eficaz com os médicos em seus diferentes cenários de atuação. O roteiro diagnóstico sugerido, compreendendo perguntas chaves e ações específicas, sinaliza para indicação de métodos propedêuticos adicionais. O tratamento proposto visa reduzir a perda do sangue menstrual e melhorar de a qualidade de vida das pacientes.(AU)


Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is a complex public health problem that can affect one third of women worldwide. It has a significant negative impact on quality of life of women and is associated with high direct and indirect economic costs. It is a challenging condition for both the women affected and for the health professionals. The nomenclature assigned to the AUB is confusing and still miss diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations standardized. The Heavy Menstrual Bleeding: Evidence-based Learning for Best Practice Group (HELP) was created with the proposal to address the inconclusive aspects of AUB. The group evaluated 134 documents, including 121 scientific articles and 14 reviews of drugs for the development of protocols HELP. Simplified protocols were drawn up relating to the diagnosis and treatment of AUB, to contribute more effectively with doctors at different scenarios of operation. The script diagnostic suggested, comprising keys questions and specific actions, can indicate additional diagnostic methods. The proposed treatment aims to reduce the loss of menstrual blood and improve the quality of life of patients.(AU)

ABSTRACT

To find out clinical response, side effects and patients' acceptability of levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system [LNG-IUS]. Observational study. Gynaecology Department of Shifa International Hospital, Islamabad, from June 2005 to May 2008. Adult women were enrolled in the study. In group-A, 57 married women were enrolled presented with abnormal uterine bleeding while in group-B, 16 married women attended for contraception. All women in group-A had thyroid stimulating hormone, pelvic ultrasound and outpatient endometrial biopsy. Detailed counselling was done before insertion. Outcome variables were improvement in bleeding pattern, safety profile, spontaneous expulsion rate and continuation at the end of one year. In group-A [abnormal bleeding] menstrual cycle became normal in 40.4% women in the first 3 months. At the end of one year, 50.9% women experienced normal cycle, 8.8% were oligomenorrhic and 12.3% were amenorrhic. In group-B [contraceptive group] all women started with normal cycles. At the end of 3 months 42% complained of vaginal spotting which reduced to 10% at the end of one year. Menstrual pattern at the end of one year showed normal cycles in 52%, oligomenorrhea in 19% and amenorrhea in 10% women. Vaginal spotting was experienced by 42% women at 3 months as main complaint which reduced to 10% at the end of one year, however, 7% women requested for removal of device at one year. LNG-IUS is an effective and acceptable treatment for abnormal uterine bleeding as well as for contraception. Vaginal spotting was the most frequent side effect experienced by both groups

ABSTRACT

O sangramento uterino anormal é um distúrbio frequente que pode ocorrer em qualquer idade entre a menarca e a menopausa, mas concentra-se principalmente em seus extremos, logo após a menarca e no período perimenopausa, quando ocorrem alterações no eixo hipotálamo-hipófise-ovário, que levam com muita frequência à anovulação. O sangramento uterino disfuncional, considerado diagnóstico de exclusão, pode ser ovulatório ou anovulatório. O manejo do quadro pressupõe que o sangramento agudo seja coibido e que se evite a recidiva; para tanto, é fundamental que se estabeleça o diagnóstico etiológico. Os autores fazem uma revisão objetiva sobre o assunto, dando ênfase ao diagnóstico e tratamento da doença.


Abnormal uterine bleeding is a clinical problem wich may occur at any time during the reproductive years; however, it is most prevalent during perimenarche and perimenopause, when women tend to have anovularoty cycles. Disfunctional uterine bleeding is a prevalent disease that affects women from adolescence to menopause. The treatment should control the acute bleeding and avoid the recidive. The etiological diagnosis is fundamental for this purpose. The authors make an objective review about dysfunctional uterine bleeding herein, focusing on the diagnosis and treatment of the disease.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Comparación entre el sistema intrauterino de liberación de levonorgestrel (SIL-LNG) y las técnicas de ablación endometrial (AR-E) en el tratamiento de la hemorragia uterina disfuncional (HUD). Método: Estudio retrospectivo de 170 pacientes con HUD distribuidas de la siguiente forma: 51 de ellas en el grupo AR-E y 119 en el grupo SIL-LNG. Se estudió el ciclo menstrual, la hemoglobina y el hematocrito, los efectos adversos y la satisfacción de las usuarias. Resultados: En ambos grupos se observó un incremento de los niveles de hemoglobina y hematocrito. El patrón de sangrado más frecuente fue el de amenorrea, hipomenorrea y ciclos normales tras los tratamientos. El grado de satisfacción fue muy elevado en ambos grupos. Conclusión: Ambos tratamientos son efectivos para mejorar la HUD. La paciente debe conocer los beneficios y riesgos de cada uno y elegir el más conveniente.


Objective: To compare the efficacy of levonorgestrel intrauterine system and endometrial resection in the treatment of dysfunctional uterine bleeding. Methods: Retrospective study with 170 women, 51 of them in endometrial resection group and 119 in the levonorgestrel intrauterine system group. Hemoglobin levels, menstrual bleeding patterns, adverse effects and degree of satisfaction were evaluated. Results: Hemoglobin levels increased in both groups. The most frequent bleeding patterns were amenorrhea, hypomenorrhea and normal pattern. The most of the patients in both groups were satisfied with the treatment. Conclusion: Both treatments were effective in reducing dysfunctional uterine bleeding. The woman must know risks and benefits from each one.

ABSTRACT

Presentamos nuestra experiencia de 6 pacientes con metrorragia a repetición, portadoras de patologías médicas que representaban un riesgo desde el punto de vista anestésico y quirúrgico, en las cuales se insertó DIU-LNG como alternativa a la histerectomía. Todas evolucionan satisfactoriamente y sin complicaciones, con disminución significativa de las pérdidas hemáticas desde el tercer mes de uso, objetivadas por pictogramas. Se concluye que el DIU-LNG es un excelente método para el control de metrorragias en pacientes con patologías médicas relevantes.


We present our experience with 6 patients with menorrhagia and medical conditions considered high risk patients for anaesthesia and surgical procedures. We inserted LNG-IUD as alternative to hysterectomy. Three months later, all of them reduced menstrual blood loss as it was shown by pictorial charts, without complications. LNG-IUD is an excellent alternative to hysterectomy in this group of patients.

ABSTRACT

El uso de dispositivos intrauterinos con levonorgestrel (DIU-LNG) además de su efecto anticonceptivo, disminuye significativamente el sangrado uterino. Esto hace que los DIU-LNG expresen beneficios tales como el control del sangrado uterino, especialmente en metrorragias o menometrorragias por enfermedades orgánicas como miomatosis uterina. Sin embargo, en nuestro medio existen dudas sobre los beneficios reales de estos métodos y la posibilidad de plantear su uso como alternativa quirúrgica del sangrado uterino anormal. Se presenta una serie de 8 pacientes que han completado un seguimiento de un a¤o desde la inserción de DIU-LNG como alternativa para el tratamiento de sangrados uterino anormales. Todos estos casos tenían indicación quirúrgica de acuerdo a los criterios tradicionales de resolución de patología orgánica. En 7 pacientes el sangrado disminuyó, con buena aceptabilidad y continuidad del tratamiento. En una paciente se detectó un crecimiento rápido de un mioma intramural con posterior expulsión del DIU-LNG, y se efectuó una miomectomía múltiple. Estos resultados permiten postular que el uso de los DIU-LNG para el tratamiento de sangrados uterinos anormales de origen orgánico no neoplásico maligno, asociado o no a la anticoncepción, es una alternativa a los procedimientos quirúrgicos u otras técnica invasivas.

ABSTRACT

Baseado em longa experiência clínica, o autor faz uma análise crítica da terminologia e conceituaçäo das perdas sangüíneas uterinas irregulares. Destaca a frequente confusäo acadêmica entre os termos sangramento uterino anormal, o que gera discussöes acrca do diagnóstico e tratamento destas patologias. Procura racionalizar e simplificar a investigaçäo clínica, enfatizando os recursos disponíveis em qualquer serviço ou consultório. Para tal, procura responder basicamente a duas questöes: 1) O sangramento é de causa orgânica ou endócrina? 2) Se for de causa endócrina, é ovulatório ou anovulatório? Da mesma forma, limita o tratamento a dois ou três esquemas simples e eficazes, que funcionam também como diagnóstico diferencial ou tratamento de prova, pois, se um esquema racional, baseado no conhecimento da fisiopatologia do processo, näo corrigir o sangramento, ele certamente näo terá uma causa endócrina. Este fato nos obrigará a aprofundar a nossa propedêutica para identificar a causa orgânica.

ABSTRACT

A menorragia é um problema ginecológico comum em adolescentes. Os dois primeiros anos pós-menarca geralmente säo anovulatórios e a maioria dos casos de sangramento excessiva resulta da imaturidade do eixo hipotálamo-hipófise-ovário. Entretanto, o diagnóstico diferencial deve incluir coagulopatias, tireoidopatias e Síndrome de Ovários Policísticos, entre outros. A fisiopatologia do sangramento excessivo ainda näo está bem definida mas acredita-se que alteraçöes hemostáticas e hormonais estejam envolvidas. Para o diagnóstico da etiologia da menorragia, a história menstrual e a idade ginecológica (tempo decorrido desde a menarca) säo fundamentais. Um hemograma e uma ecografia transvaginal podem auxiliar bastante. O tratamento pode variar desde a tranqüilizaçäo e acompanhamento da adolescente, até a terapia medicamentosa agressiva. O tratamento cirúrgico é incomum

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Evaluar la morbi-mortalidad actual en un grupo de pacientes con sangrado obstétrico severo en el período periparto. Diseño: Estudio retrospectivo y descriptivo. Marco: División Terapia Intensiva, en una clínica privada. Buenos Aires, Argentina. Pacientes: 45 pacientes gestantes con edad de 33,2ñ4,8 años, ingresadas a partir de marzo de 1991 hasta febrero de 1998. Método y resultados principales: El 64 por ciento de los casos presentaron shock hemorrágico. El promedio de hematíes sedimentados transfundidos fue 7,6ñ6,3 unidades, y el hematocrito alcanzado al cabo de 24-36 horas fue 23,6ñ4,9 por ciento. En 29 enfermas se recurrió a la histerectomía como última medida para controlar el sangrado masivo. Seis pacientes histerctomizadas presentaron hemorragia retro y/o intraperitoneal, debiéndose reintervenir quirúrgicamente a 5 por sangrados persistentes. Este subgrupo requirió mayor número de transfusiones (18ñ8 vs 5ñ8 unidades; p < 0,01). Diecisiete enfermas cursaron con coagulopatía por consumo, de ellas 6 con coagulación intravascular diseminada. Las 45 puérperas sobrevivieron. Conclusiones: 1. Optimo porcentaje de sobrevida materna vinculado con : a) disponibilidad de hemoderivados y resolución de estudios complementarios, y b) actuación de un equipo multidisciplinario. 2. Se aprecia una alta incidencia de histerectomías como última alternativa para controlar las hemorragias

ABSTRACT

40 women suffering from 'dysfunctional uterine bleeding' (DUB) were treated by progesterone (P) and signs and symptoms of 'extragenital effects' of P were noted. In addition to the previous ones reported from this laboratory, a new crop of effects, which, as far as we are aware of, have never been reported in the literature, were found and included: (i) Changes in the frequency of EEG waves, (ii) changes in the ECG (iii) changes in psychoanalytical scoring. Further (iv) with most of the parametres, the intensity of the changes showed considerable waning with passage time, despite the fact that the subjects were still receiving P. Blood P levels similarly fell considerably in the initial phase of the therapy, but recovered to some extent afterwards, despite the continuance of P therapy.

ABSTRACT

Forty-eight patients of hydatidiform mole are reviewed. Forty cases (83.3%) were between 20 and 30 years of age and 24 women (50%) were primigravidae. The most common presenting symptom was intermittent bleeding. Ultrasound which became available during the latter part of the study has helped in early and definitive diagnosis. Oxytocin drip followed by suction evacuation was the mainstay of treatment. Four of the women who were followed up had persistent high titre of HCG and were treated with cytotoxic drugs. A regular follow-up is mandatory for early diagnosis and treatment of persistent trophoblastic activity.

ABSTRACT

Con el propósito de encontrar un tratamiento menos traumático y unificar criterios en nuestro medio en el menejo de la Hiperplasia Endometrial (HE) realizamos una prueba farmacológica en siete mujeres con HE y hemorragia uterina en edad fértil (n=3) y perimenopaútisicas (n=4). Se les prescribió noretindrona (NET) 5 mg/45d. No se observaron efectos colaterales indesables. Las siete pacientes mostraron regresión endometrial, dos de las tres jóvenes lograron embarazo a término y las cuatro perimenopaúsicas no volvieron a menstruar. En estas observaciones preliminares no hubo ningún fenómeno de asociación entre hormonas esteroides gonadales (Estradiol E-2, estrona E-1, Progesterona P-4) con la histología endometrial
