Abstract

Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is a chronic debilitating condition affecting women worldwide with a significant negative impact on their quality of life. Management choices are determined in partnership with an individual woman’s need for uterine and fertility preservation. Although a diverse range of medical and surgical treatment choices are available, a tailored and phenotype-dependent approach to management still remains lacking. AUB, therefore, represents an area of unmet clinical need where future research is needed to optimize information underpinning management choices for women.
