The Endocrine Bleeding Authority: Disorders of Menstruation
Menstrual disorders—including menorrhagia, secondary amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, and abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB)—are among the most common complaints in gynecology. Deciphering the underlying etiology requires a deep understanding of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis, endometrial vascular remodeling, and systemic coagulopathies. Disorders of Menstruation is the definitive clinical master text dedicated to menstrual cycle pathology.
Mastering menstrual Cycle Endocrinology
The core philosophy of this text is precise hormonal and cellular analysis. The authors detail how endocrine disruption, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), thyroid disorders, hyperprolactinemia, and endometrial inflammatory markers alter the menstrual cycle, leading to dysfunctional bleeding or reproductive failure.
Navigating Diagnostic and Treatment Algorithms
The book details complete management protocols, including the PALM-COEIN classification workup, medical therapies (oral contraceptives, progestins, GnRH analogues, antifibrinolytics), and surgical options (hysteroscopic resection, endometrial ablation, and hysterectomy).
