Listen in as we talk through abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) with our esteemed guest Holly Wong Cummings, MD.  We review the PALM-COEIN framework for AUB diagnosis and discuss options for acute and chronic treatment of AUB.  We can get bleeding under control! Many of the treatments including progesterone only pills, combined oral contraceptives, and tranexamic acid are medications we in primary care should feel confident prescribing to our patients.
