Endometrial Ablation for Aplastic Anemia-Associated Menorrhagia.
Connecticut Medicine 2015 May
Aplastic anemia is characterized by bone marrow failure and pancytopenia. In women, this can lead to menorrhagia secondary to thrombocytopenia which may require treatment depending on its severity. We report a patient with aplastic anemia-associated menorrhagia requiring emergency inpatient endometrial ablation due to transfusion dependence. A 42-year-old G3P3003 female presented with severe anemia, thrombocytopenia, and metrorrhagia. Her subsequent bone marrow biopsy revealed aplastic anemia. Her menometrorrhagia progressively worsened and she remained transfusion dependent. In the hospital, the patient underwent an uneventful endometrial ablation to control her vaginal bleeding. Patient reports only minor spotting after the procedure. Endometrial ablation is a safe and effective technique of treating acute menorrhagia in patients with aplastic anemia. It can reduce vaginal bleeding and decrease transfusion dependence.
