Abstract

Surgery is usually the most appropriate treatment for abnormal uterine bleeding caused by uterine fibroids and endometrial polyps, whereas adenomyosis may respond to hormonal management. Treatment should provide the greatest relief of symptoms with the least risk. When surgery is indicated, the procedure with the fastest recovery is most appropriate.
