  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK536910/

  Menorrhagia, or abnormal uterine bleeding (which is the preferred terminology), can be classified into nine categories making up the PALM-COEIN acronym. This table divides AUB into structural and non-structural causes: Polyp, Adenomyosis, Leiomyoma, Malignancy and hyperplasia, Coagulopathy, Ovulatory dysfunction due to hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, prolactin-secreting tumors, PCOS, Endometrial, Iatrogenic (IUDs, chemotherapeutic agents, anticoagulants), Not yet classified. […] It is essential for the provider to choose the most likely etiology for the effective and appropriate management of these women. […] The pathophysiology of abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is as diverse as the classification of the disease. AUB can be caused by pelvic pathology like a distortion of the endometrial cavity due to fibroids, or endometrial protrusions into the cervix or vagina (polyps), or because of friable endometrial tissue. The friable endometrial tissue is likely caused by unopposed estrogen which causes the endometrium to become friable, vascular, and lacking sufficient stromal support which equates to heavy, continuous uterine bleeding.

• #2 Pathophysiology of Heavy Menstrual Bleeding

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5779569/

  Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) is a common gynecological complaint with multiple etiologies and diverse pathophysiological origins. […] Our present understanding of the mechanisms of menstrual bleeding as well as many of the pathological aberrations of HMB is incomplete. […] Further research into the pathophysiology of HMB is urgently needed, as clear knowledge of the mechanisms of this disorder will provide new therapeutic targets to formulate more effective treatments. […] Any process that interferes with the normal endocrine, paracrine or hemostatic functions of the endometrium as well as possibly any interference with myometrial contractility may cause HMB. […] According to the Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics classification of AUB, nine categories are listed according to the acronym PALM-COEIN.

• #3 Abnormal Uterine Bleeding in Premenopausal Women | AAFP

  https://www.aafp.org/pubs/afp/issues/2019/0401/p435.html

  Abnormal uterine bleeding is a common symptom in women. The acronym PALM-COEIN facilitates classification, with PALM referring to structural etiologies (polyp, adenomyosis, leiomyoma, malignancy and hyperplasia), and COEIN referring to nonstructural etiologies (coagulopathy, ovulatory dysfunction, endometrial, iatrogenic, not otherwise classified). […] The most common causes of abnormal uterine bleeding are described with the acronym PALM-COEIN. The etiologies in the PALM group (polyp, adenomyosis, leiomyoma, malignancy and hyperplasia) are structural and can be imaged or biopsied. The etiologies in the COEIN group (coagulopathy, ovulatory dysfunction, endometrial, iatrogenic, not otherwise classified) are nonstructural. These etiologies are not mutually exclusive, and patients may have more than one cause.

  Abnormal blood coagulation: Inherited disorders, the most common is called von Willebrand’s disease. Special blood testing is needed to diagnose this condition. […] The most common cause for this is an imbalance in the amount of the two main female hormones, estrogen and progesterone. Estrogen stimulates the growth of the endometrial cells and is more prominent in the first half of the menstrual cycle, while progesterone stabilizes the endometrial cells. […] If there proportionately more estrogen than progesterone in the blood stream for some time, the endometrial cells can start to grow too much. This can happen in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, in women who are overweight (the fat tissue produces estrogen) and in women who take estrogen containing hormones. This is also much more common in women over the age of 40. […] If you have complex hyperplasia with atypia your risk of developing cancer is very high (35-43%) and most doctors would recommend a hysterectomy to prevent the development of cancer of the uterus.

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_menstrual_bleeding

  Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB), previously known as menorrhagia or hematomunia, is a menstrual period with excessively heavy flow. It is a type of abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). […] Abnormal uterine bleeding can be caused by structural abnormalities in the reproductive tract, skipping ovulation (anovulation), bleeding disorders, hormonal issues (such as hypothyroidism) or cancer of the reproductive tract. […] Usually, no causative abnormality can be identified and treatment is directed at the symptom, rather than a specific mechanism. However, there are known causes of abnormal uterine bleeding that need to be ruled out. […] Most common causes based on the nature of bleeding is listed below followed by the rare causes of bleeding (i.e. disorders of coagulation). […] Fibroids (leiomyoma) fibroids in the wall of the uterus cause increased menstrual loss if they protrude into the central cavity and thereby increase endometrial surface area.

  Possible causes of menorrhagia, or unusually heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding, include fibroids, polyps, a tumor, or a bleeding disorder. […] Abnormally heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding can have many causes. Possible causes of menorrhagia fall into three categories: uterine-related problems, hormone-related problems, and other illnesses or disorders. […] The possible causes include: Uterine fibroids: These noncancerous tumors grow either inside or outside the uterine wall. They can cause heavy bleeding or painful periods. Uterine polyps: Polyps are overgrowths of endometrial tissue, which is the type of tissue that lines the inside of the uterus. Irregular ovulation: If hormonal disruptions cause irregular ovulation, the lining of the uterus can build up and become too thick. When this lining eventually sheds during menstruation, heavy bleeding can occur. This is common during puberty and perimenopause. It can sometimes occur due to weight loss or stress or as a symptom of certain medical conditions, including polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and hypothyroidism. Adenomyosis: In people with this condition, tissue from the lining of the uterus becomes embedded in the muscle of the uterus. It can cause painful and heavy menstrual bleeding. Nonhormonal intrauterine device (IUD): This type of birth control device sits in the uterus and can cause heavy bleeding. Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID): This infection of the reproductive organs often results from untreated sexually transmitted diseases. Pregnancy-related complications: Pregnancy-related problems, such as pregnancy loss or an ectopic pregnancy, can cause abnormal bleeding. Cancer: Uterine, cervical, and ovarian cancers affect the reproductive system and cause heavy bleeding. Inherited bleeding disorders: Examples include Von Willebrands disease and platelet function disorders. Medications: Certain anti-inflammatory and anticoagulant drugs can lead to heavy bleeding.

[…] Heavy menstrual bleeding can be caused by many different factors, including the following: […] Fibroids and polyps: These growths, which are typically noncancerous, form in or on the uterine wall and can cause excessive bleeding. […] Adenomyosis: In this condition, the inner lining of the uterus breaks through the wall of the uterus and causes heavy bleeding. […] Ovulation issues: If you don’t ovulate regularly, parts of the uterine lining may become too thick. This can occur in women with polycystic ovary syndrome, which is a hormonal disorder causing enlarged ovaries with small cysts. It can also occur in women with hypothyroidism, which is when the thyroid gland doesn’t produce enough of the thyroid hormone.

This table divides AUB into structural and non-structural causes: Polyp, Adenomyosis, Leiomyoma, Malignancy and hyperplasia, Coagulopathy, Ovulatory dysfunction due to hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, prolactin-secreting tumors, PCOS, Endometrial, Iatrogenic (IUDs, chemotherapeutic agents, anticoagulants), Not yet classified. […] It is essential for the provider to choose the most likely etiology for the effective and appropriate management of these women. […] The pathophysiology of abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is as diverse as the classification of the disease. AUB can be caused by pelvic pathology like a distortion of the endometrial cavity due to fibroids, or endometrial protrusions into the cervix or vagina (polyps), or because of friable endometrial tissue. The friable endometrial tissue is likely caused by unopposed estrogen which causes the endometrium to become friable, vascular, and lacking sufficient stromal support which equates to heavy, continuous uterine bleeding.
