Assessment of menstrual blood loss using a pictorial chart
TL;DR: Objective menstrual blood loss measurements were compared with the score obtained from a pictorial blood loss assessment chart which took into account the degree to which each item of sanitary protection was soiled with blood as well as the total number of pads or tampons used.
Journal ArticleDOI
Frequency of inherited bleeding disorders in women with menorrhagia.
TL;DR: Inherited bleeding disorders are found in a substantial proportion of women with menorrhagia and a normal pelvis examination and it is suggested that such patients should be investigated for these disorders-especially von Willebrand's disease-before invasive procedures are done.

A comparative study between panoramic hysteroscopy with directed biopsies and dilatation and curettage: A review of 276 cases☆
TL;DR: There is little doubt that panoramic hysteroscopy is superior to curettage in making an accurate diagnosis of pathologic conditions in the uterine cavity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diagnostic dilation and curettage: a reappraisal.
TL;DR: Until the alleged benefits of diagnostic D & C can be shown to outweigh its risks and costs, it probably should not be the primary procedure used for obtaining most samples of endometrium.

A simple visual assessment technique to discriminate between menorrhagia and normal menstrual blood loss

Studies in the involvement of prostaglandins in uterine symptomatology and pathology.
TL;DR: The results showed that the mean concentration of prostaglandin E2 was higher in cases of endometriosis, and significantly elevated in endometrial carcinoma, and the changes were less marked in patients with irregular dysfunctional bleeding.

Reduction of menstrual blood-loss by prostaglandin-synthetase inhibitors
TL;DR: Preliminary observations suggest a new treatment for a common gynaecological problem and could imply that prostaglandins are involved in the aetiology of excessive menstrual blood-loss in patients with menorrhagia.
