Active clinical trials for "Uterine Hemorrhage"

Long-acting reversible contraceptives [LARC; copper-intrauterine devices (IUDs), the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) and subdermal implants] are the most effective reversible contraceptives available. A common side effect of these methods is changes in menstrual bleeding. Dissatisfaction with unpredictable bleeding is the main reason for early discontinuation of LARC methods. The mechanism of unpredictable bleeding is unknown; it is likely related to the progestogen dilating superficial veins and capillaries, which are fragile and susceptible to focal bleeding. Other potential influences include changes in structural support of the endometrium, altered matrix metalloproteinase activity, and changes in endometrial perfusion and hemostasis. Local genetic alterations of the hormonal receptors of endometrium can also play a role in the etiology of the unpredictable bleeding experienced by some women. Regarding etonogestrel (ENG)-releasing implant, some evidences suggest that the use of mefenamic acid, mifepristone with estradiol or doxycycline, or doxycycline alone can temporally stop the bleeding; however, all these therapies cannot avert the recurrence of the bleeding. Recently, a randomized clinical trial (RCT) evaluated the effectiveness of a short-term use of combined oral contraceptive (COC) in stopping bleeding episodes and preventing bleeding recurrence. The authors found that bothersome bleeding in ENG-implant users stopped within 14-day of COC treatment, but bleeding most often resumes within 10 days of treatment cessation. Although COC can stop the bleeding, it is not known which component of the COC is responsible for this effect. There is evidence suggesting that estrogen alone is not effective in stopping the bleeding of progestogen-only contraceptives or a high dose of ethinyl estradiol is needed to obtain this effect. Furthermore, the recurrence of the bleeding shown with the COC use could be explained by the interruption of the estrogen. For this reason, our hypothesis is that a progestogen-only pill could be superior to placebo in stopping the bleeding associated with the ENG-implant use as well as being superior to placebo in recurrence of bleeding after discontinuation of the therapy.

This study investigates whether intravenous (IV) iron [Feraheme (ferumoxytol) injection)] is a better treatment than oral iron pills (ferrous sulfate) for correcting anemia in women who have heavy menstrual bleeding and anemia. Investigators will study whether women's blood counts respond better, respond more quickly, and if women prefer the IV treatment or the oral treatment. Women who have heavy menstrual bleeding and anemia will be randomly assigned to receive treatment with either oral iron pills or IV iron infusions. Investigators will then check whether and how quickly the anemia improves, and survey participants on how satisfied they were with the treatment.

The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of an implantable etonogestrel device in reducing hysterectomy rate in patients with a failed endometrial ablation.

The primary aim of this randomized trial is to assess the efficacy of IV Ferric Derisomaltose vs Oral Iron in the management of women with severe Iron Deficiency Anemia due to Uterine Bleeding in the emergency department.

This is a Double-blinded randomized placebo-controlled trial based at Eastern Virginia Medical School. Subjects who are identified in clinic having menorrhagia or abnormal Uterine bleeding (AUB) due to uterine fibroids and meet inclusion criteria based on the ultrasound (US) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), aged 18-45 undergoing laparoscopic or Robotic assisted myomectomies. A total of 50 women in each arm of the study with symptomatic fibroids. Patients will be randomized to receive a single IV bolus injection of TXA 30mg/kg in 50ml of normal saline (intervention group) versus an IV bolus injection of normal saline of equivalent volume (placebo group) 15 minutes prior to initial surgical incision.

Early treatment of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) II-III gives rise to a decrease in the incidence of invasive cervical cancer. Though there is no obvious consensus from randomized studies as to the optimal management of CIN II-III, loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP) is the most extensively used method because of its technical ease, inexpensive, steep learning curve, and low rate of complications. In spite of these benefits, current literature suggests that some patients experience some complications such as postoperative vaginal bleeding, abnormal vaginal discharge, abdominal pain, and infection. These adversely affect the recovery period, increase patient anxiety, readmission to the hospital for further treatment and encumber patients' daily life. Postoperative vaginal bleeding (PVB) is one of the most common and unpleasant of these complications. Its incidence has been reported to vary between 2% to 78%. Many different types of treatments have been applied to avert or diminish PVC such as the use of vasopressin, tranexamic acid, Monsel's solution, and local hemostats (e.g., TachoSil or Tisseel), but these attempts have failed to show precise benefits over routine clinical approaches. Chitosan is a biodegradable, natural polyaminosaccharide with a nontoxic, non-allergenic, positively-charged polysaccharide derived from the deacetylation of chitin. Due to its molecular characteristics, chitosan has been used for improved hemostasis. Furthermore, chitosan has an antimicrobial and wound-healing effect. The current literature concerning the influence of using chitosan after the LEEP is limited to only one trial. The authors of that study reported that using chitosan after the LEEP can reduce vaginal bleeding and enhancing wound healing. However, that study has some limitations. Therefore, investigators designed this randomized trial to assess the effect of local chitosan implementation on postoperative vaginal bleeding and wound healing in LEEP
