High-dose estrogen-progestogen combination therapy (hormonal contraceptives), the primary treatment, is designed to control endometrial growth and re-establish a normal cyclic pattern of menstruation. (The patient’s age and the cause of bleeding help determine the drug choice and dosage.) In patients older than age 35, endometrial biopsy is necessary before the start of estrogen therapy to rule out endometrial adenocarcinoma. Progestogen therapy is a necessary alternative in some women such as those susceptible to estrogen’s adverse effects (thrombophlebitis, for example).
If drug therapy is ineffective, D & C serves as a supplementary treatment, through removal of a large portion of the bleeding endometrium. Also, D & C can help determine the original cause of hormonal imbalance and can aid in planning further therapy. Regardless of the primary treatment, the patient may need iron replacement or transfusions of packed cells or whole blood, as indicated, because of anemia caused by recurrent bleeding.
