THERAPY OF COPIOUS MENSTRUAL BLEEDING IN A FEMALE PATIENT OF REPRODUCTIVE AGE

Abstract

Women's lack of awareness of the problem (OMC) and lack of understanding of the importance of discussing this problem with an obstetrician – gynecologist may limit women's access to specialized medical care. Currently, there is no accurate data on the reliable number of women with heavy menstrual bleeding. OMK significantly reduces the quality of life of a woman, both in the physical and emotional sphere, so the goals of OMK therapy are to reduce blood loss during menstruation, normalize and stabilize iron (in some situations - ferritin) and clinically significant improvement in the quality of life. The described clinical case of the management of a patient with copious menstrual bleeding without organic causes allowed us to demonstrate a positive effect on OMC of a combined oral contraceptive (COC) containing estradiol valerate in combination with dienogest with a dynamic dosage regimen (Clair's drug). This was confirmed both by the improvement of hematological parameters, such as hemoglobin, hematocrit and ferritin, and the quality of life of the patient. This drug can be recommended for use in women with this pathological process – heavy menstrual bleeding without organic causes. Multicenter randomized clinical trials, as well as real clinical practice studies, have proven the effectiveness of Clyra in women with OMC. The long-term use of Clyra has also been proven to be safe in relation to the risks of venous thromboembolism. An analysis of the published data showed that the use of the Claira combination for up to 5.5 years (on average for 2.1 years) was accompanied by the same or even lower risk of VTE compared to other COC and EE/LNG.
