Abnormal Uterine Bleeding in Menopause Linked to Fatigue: Study
Data from the Study of Women's Health Across the Nation indicate that abnormal uterine bleeding during the menopause transition is associated with increased fatigue symptoms.
During the menopause transition, abnormal uterine bleeding, characterized by prolonged or heavy menstrual bleeding, occurs often. This study assessed whether prolonged or heavy menstrual bleeding was associated with fatigue.
Using daily menstrual calendar data from 2,329 participants in the Study of Women's Health Across the Nation, episodes of prolonged and heavy menstrual bleeding were identified. At seven annual follow-up visits, four symptoms of fatigue were evaluated: feeling worn out, feeling tired, having little pep, and lacking energy. Statistical models assessed the association between each fatigue symptom and prolonged or heavy menstrual bleeding recorded during the six months prior to each follow-up visit.
