AB  - Abnormal  uterine  bleeding  is  an  overarching  term  that  is  defined  as  bleeding  from  the  uterine  corpus  that  is  irregular  in  volume,  frequency,  or  duration  in  absence  of  pregnancy  (Table  96–1).1  Vaginal  bleeding  is  a  common  complaint  in  the  ED,  and  differential  diagnoses  include  pregnancy,  structural  abnormalities  (e.g.,  polyps,  fibroids),  endometritis,  coagulopathies,  trauma,  and  various  other  causes.  The  prevalence  of  abnormal  bleeding  is  estimated  at  9%  to  14%  in  the  general  population.  Although  vaginal  bleeding  may  present  as  an  acute  or  chronic  problem,  this  chapter  will  focus  on  the  ED  evaluation  and  management  of  abnormal  uterine  bleeding.
