Abstract
In 2011, the FIGO classification system (PALM-COEIN) was published to standardize terminology, diagnostic and investigations of causes of abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). According to FIGO new classification, in the absence of structural etiology, the formerly called “dysfunctional uterine bleeding” should be avoided and clinicians should state if AUB are caused by coagulation disorders (AUB-C), ovulation disorder (AUB-O), or endometrial primary dysfunction (AUB-E). Since this publication, some societies have released or revised their guidelines for the diagnosis and the management of the formerly called “dysfunctional uterine bleeding” according new FIGO classification. In this review, we summarize the most relevant new guidelines for the diagnosis and the management of AUB-C, AUB-O, and AUB-E.
