The treatment for dysfunctional uterine bleeding has often proven to be successful but it is important to consider underlying etiologies, desire for fertility as well as any other symptoms patients may be experiencing. Treatment should be tailored for patients according to these underlying factors. The primary modality of treatment is hormonal, but there are nonhormonal options as well. It is important to treat acute bleeding as it may be life-threatening. Hormonal medications must be avoided in elderly women due to the risk of endometrial hyperplasia and malignancy. Iatrogenic causes should focus on treating the underlying causes.
