Uterine bleeding that is abnormal in timing, duration, or quantity affects nearly one-third of women and carries a substantial financial and quality-of-life burden. An estimated 5% of emergency visits are for vaginal bleeding, and 1% of those patients will have a life-threatening cause that must be identified. These patients may also present to urgent care, and urgent care clinicians need to have a comprehensive understanding of the pathophysiology and etiologies of abnormal uterine bleeding to effectively manage these patients. This issue reviews the common causes and clinical approach to abnormal uterine bleeding in nonpregnant patients from prepubescence through menopause.
