[Diagnosis and treatment of juvenile uterine hemorrhage]

The authors demonstrate the usefulness of supplementary methods of investigation (echography and hysteroscopy) for the diagnosis and treatment of juvenile uterine bleedings. Hemorrhages developing at the onset of puberty are not associated with noticeable shifts in the hormonal status. Dysfunction of the hypophyseo-ovarian system is detectable at the end of this period; therefore the authors suggest a specific therapeutic approach to such patients. Blood coagulation disorders were revealed in 21.7% of the patients.
