Symptoms of UL include pelvic pain, pressure, dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, anemia, and reproductive dysfunction. Currently, there is no effective long-term pharmacotherapy for UL, making them the leading cause of hysterectomies in the United States.

Background: Despite a high prevalence, menstrual issues are often normalised or trivialised and undermanaged in young people (YP). Uncontrolled dysmenorrhoea and heavy menstrual bleeding have a vastly negative impact on the quality of life of YP, especially when these issues are compounded by the social and emotional complexities of navigating adolescence.
Objectives: The Longitudinal Study of Teens with Endometriosis, Period and Pelvic Pain (LongSTEPPP) project is a 5-year study aiming to understand factors that contribute to endometriosis, period and pelvic pain in YP and to examine long-term outcomes.

Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) is a common symptom in adolescence, often leading to significant disruptions in daily life, such as school absences, shame caused by the stigma surrounding menstruation, and symptoms from iron deficiency. Further, HMB may be the first and/or only sign of an underlying bleeding disorder. Navigating the symptoms, effects, and treatments of HMB during adolescence requires a collaborative approach between the patient, caregivers, and healthcare providers.

von Willebrand disease (VWD) is a common inherited bleeding disorder caused by von Willebrand factor (VWF) deficiency and is an important cause of heavy menstrual bleeding in young patients. A clinical evaluation using standardized bleeding scores helps determine when screening hemostatic testing is indicated by identifying patients with a moderate or high probability of an inherited bleeding disorder. The diagnosis of VWD is made when VWF levels are under 30 IU/dL or between 30 and 50 IU/dL when there is a positive bleeding history.

Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) is a common problem, presenting in 1 in 5 females. The quantification of menstrual blood loss and the subsequent treatment of HMB are both nuanced tasks that require the physician to consider the patient perspective. The individualization of care and transition to methods that fit each individual patient are critical to building a successful relationship with the patient to facilitate follow-up care and evaluation of response to treatment.
