[Changes in the hemostatic system in anomalous uterine hemorrhages and uterine myoma at perimenopause].

Concentrations of some hemostasis system parameters in the total blood stream and in the menstrual fluid were measured in 58 patients of a perimenopausal age suffering from uterine bleedings and myomas. Plasminogen, fibrinogen, and fibrin/fibrinogen degradation product concentrations were increased in the menstrual fluid of patients with profuse uterine bleedings in comparison with patients with moderate menstrual discharge. These shifts were the most marked in the patients with submucous localization of uterine myoma. Gestrinon and danason exerted no pathologic effect on the studied hemostasis system parameters.

[Etiologic study of 275 cases of endo-uterine hemorrhage by uterine curettage].

AIM: To determine the incidence of genital hemorrhage, to specify its etiology and define the epidemiological profile of the "hemorrhagic patient". MATERIALS: Retrospective analysis of selected medical case-histories and histological reports for 275 uterine curettages carried out due to a hemorrhagic sign. RESULTS: The incidence was estimated to be 2.7% of consultations. 292 histological lesions were identified, and their severity classified as follows: 53.8% dysfunctional, 20.0% hyperplasia, 5.5% malignant and 20.5% classified as "rare". The profile was that of a perimenopausal, multiparous woman, obese with normal menarche and menstrual cycle. CONCLUSION: In the general population, genital hemorrhage is less and less frequently indicative of a malignant lesion.

[The role of biogenic amines in the mechanism of uterine hemorrhage in uterine myoma].

Function of the adrenosympathetic system has been assessed in 103 patients with uterine myoma. Levels of biogenic amines (adrenaline, noradrenaline, histamin) were determined in uterine tissues using spectrofluorometry. It was found out that storage of vasoactive mediators in the uterine tissue represents a mechanism of uterine bleedings in patients with uterine myoma. Another determinant is stress experienced by patients with menometrorrhagia.

[Cardinal symptom: uterine hemorrhage (author's transl)].

Uterine hemorrhages are dependent on the vascular architecture of the endometrium: the endometrial spiral arteries supply sectors strictly separated from each other at intervals of about 1.4 mm. Their function is so closely coupled with the endocrine regulation of the cycle that the presence of hormonal receptors in the vessel wall must be assumed. Menstrual bleeding is an instructive example of morphologically detectable endocrine controlled processes. Endometrial hemorrhage in adenocarcinoma appears early, but it is not an early symptom because the surface epithelium remains intact at first. The diagnosis of precancerous changes in the endometrium (adenomatous hyperplasia--carcinoma in situ) is based on the condition of the surface epithelial cells. Extrauterine pregnancies, miscarriages and trophoblastic diseases are usually diagnosed from the uterine hemorrhage. The quality of the hemorrhage in early pregnancy has less diagnostic importance than, for example, in dyshormonal hemorrhagic disorders.

Thermal balloon endometrial ablation for management of acute uterine hemorrhage.

BACKGROUND: Life-threatening abnormal uterine bleeding can be managed by a variety of techniques, which include intravenous estrogen, dilation and curettage, endometrial ablation, uterine artery embolization, or hysterectomy. Thermal balloon endometrial ablation has been used in the management of chronic dysfunctional uterine bleeding but has not been described in a case of acute uterine hemorrhage. CASE: A 44-year-old woman with end-stage liver disease presented with vaginal bleeding and fever. She was found to have sepsis, coagulopathy, and anemia. No anatomic uterine pathology was identified. Antibiotics, intravenous estrogen, and blood products were administered, but heavy bleeding persisted. Thermal balloon ablation resulted in abrupt cessation of uterine bleeding. CONCLUSION: Thermal balloon ablation appears to be an effective method for management of acute uterine hemorrhage.

Successful embolization for uterine hemorrhage in a patient with acute promyelocytic leukemia.

A successful embolization for life-threatening uterine hemorrhage is described in a patient with acute promyelocytic leukemia and disseminated intravascular coagulation. On admission the patient was in the 6th week of gestation with incomplete abortion and uterine hemorrhage. In addition to combination chemotherapy and anticoagulant therapy, dilatation and curettage were also performed. After the operation the uterine hemorrhage was progressively increased in amount and was not responsive to usual measures. Embolization of bilateral uterine arteries using Gelfoam was performed with a dramatic improvement of the hemorrhage.

[Various indicators of the kallikrein-kinin system of the blood in patients of reproductive age with dysfunctional uterine hemorrhage].

Fifteen women with dysfunctional uterine hemorrhages [DUH] of the reproductive period and ten women aged 20 to 30 with normal two-phase menstrual cycle were examined. Measurements of the blood plasma kallikrein and prekallikrein activities in normal females have revealed a direct correlation between kallikrein level and colpocytologic data and an inverse correlation between prekallikrein level and these data. An incessant growth of kallikrein content was detected in DUH patients, whereas their prekallikrein levels were much lower than in the controls. A manifest activation of the kallikrein-kinin system was detected in the patients with DUH of the reproductive period, augmenting with the development of the proliferative processes in the endometrium.

[Anomalous uterine hemorrhages in the climacteric. Their etiopathogenesis].

Anomalous uterine bleeding accounts for approximately two-thirds of the causes of outpatient gynecological check-ups for women in menopause. The high incidence of this pathology raises considerable problems from a clinical and social point of view. In this paper the authors outline the main causes of both organic and functional bleeding.
