Tranexamic acid, a clot stabilizing medication, may also be used to reduce bleeding and blood transfusions in low-risk patients, [31] however evidence as of 2015 was not strong. [2] A 2017 trial found that it decreased the risk of death from bleeding from 1.9% to 1.5% in women with postpartum bleeding. [3]
Endometriosis has a 10% recurrence rate after hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. [140] Endometriosis recurrence following conservative surgery is estimated as 21.5% at 2 years and 40-50% at 5 years. [141] Recurrence rate for DIE after surgery is less than 1%. [142]
[70] Hysterectomy is a surgical procedure consisting of the full removal of the uterus, and can include the removal of fallopian tubes (otherwise known as the uterine tubes), cervix and ovaries. [71] In the UK the use of hysterectomy for heavy menstrual bleeding has been almost halved between 1989 and 2003. [72]

After labor it is the contraction of these muscles that physically squeeze the blood vessels so that hemostasis can occur after the delivery of the fetus and the placenta. [1] Local hemostatic factors like tissue factor type-1 plasminogen activator inhibitor and platelets and clotting factors aid in stopping the blood flow.
[1] [5] Over the course of a year, roughly 20% of reproductive-aged women self-report at least one symptom of AUB. [2] As adenomyosis is a common disorder with a prevalence of 20-35% it is often causative related. Recent research suggests that abnormal angiogenesis is associated to conditions of adenomyosis leading to abnormal uterine bleeding.
During the reproductive years, bleeding that is excessively heavy (menorrhagia or heavy menstrual bleeding), occurs between monthly menstrual periods (intermenstrual bleeding), occurs more frequently than every 21 days (abnormal uterine bleeding), occurs too infrequently (oligomenorrhea), or occurs after vaginal intercourse (postcoital bleeding ...
