The optimization of abnormal uterine bleeding treatment in women with chronic psychogenic stress
This study compared a standard AUB treatment to an optimized approach including lifestyle changes and supplements in women with chronic psychogenic stress, finding the optimized treatment significantly improved all quality of life parameters.

The study evaluated an optimized multimodal approach to treating abnormal uterine bleeding in 100 reproductive-age women with chronic psychogenic/emotional stress, comparing 50 women receiving optimized treatment with 50 receiving standard treatment, and including a control group of 30 women without abnormal uterine bleeding and chronic stress. Across all participants, assessment included history, gynecologic exam, ultrasound, blood tests including ferritin and serum vitamin D, and quality of life measured by SF-36 before and after three months; optimized treatment additionally included lifestyle recommendations, melatonin, vitamin D supplementation based on levels, and medication to correct iron deficiency without anemia, whereas standard care followed a Ukrainian MOH order. Standard treatment showed no significant improvement in “Pain” and “Role functioning due to physical condition,” while optimized treatment produced significant improvements in all physical health SF-36 scales to normal values and also improved psychological component scores to match healthy women, unlike the standard group whose psychological scales remained significantly lower than controls. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match upstream (abnormal uterine bleeding/gynecologic bleeding).
