Abnormal Uterine Bleeding

Synopsis

Abnormal uterine bleeding is a common gynecological condition that affects women of all ages, posing significant challenges in clinical practice. This condition, characterized by bleeding patterns that deviate from the expected norm, can have a profound impact on a woman's quality of life, physical health, and emotional well-being. The PALM-COEIN classification system, developed by the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics, provides a comprehensive and systematic approach to understanding the underlying causes of abnormal uterine bleeding. (1) This abstract aims to provide an overview of the PALM-COEIN classification and its significance in the management of abnormal uterine bleeding.
