Differential Diagnoses for AUB
- Discuss three differential diagnoses for AUB with ICD 10 numbers for each.,
- Discuss patient education.
Differential Diagnoses for Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (AUB)
- Endometrial Hyperplasia (ICD-10: N85.0)
- Description: Abnormal thickening of the endometrial lining due to an excess of estrogen without the balancing effect of progesterone. It can lead to irregular bleeding and increases the risk of developing endometrial cancer.
- Symptoms: Heavy or prolonged bleeding, irregular menstrual cycles.
- Diagnosis: Pelvic ultrasound, biopsy of the endometrium.
- Uterine Fibroids (ICD-10: D25.9)
- Description: Benign tumors of the uterine muscle that can cause irregular bleeding. They can vary in size and location and may cause symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and pressure.
- Symptoms: Heavy periods, pelvic pain, urinary frequency, backache.
- Diagnosis: Pelvic ultrasound, MRI to assess size and location of fibroids.
- Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) (ICD-10: E28.2)…
