Background: Dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) is a common gynaecological disorder that usually ends up in hysterectomy and causes psychological and physiological stress. Medical management with hormones and NSAIDS has inherited side effects. Ormeloxifene, a selective estrogen receptor modulator, is emerging as a safe and effective agent for dysfunctional uterine bleeding. The objective of the study was to evaluate the role of ormeloxifene in medical management of dysfunctional uterine bleeding.Methods: 30 patients, on whom diagnosis of dysfunctional uterine bleeding was made, were included in the study. Patients were given ormeloxifene 60mg twice a week for 12 weeks and then once a week for 12 weeks. The primary outcome measures were menstrual blood loss (assessed by pictorial blood assessment chart score), hemoglobin concentration and endometrial thickness. The secondary outcome measures were acceptability and side effects of ormeloxifene.Results: There was a significant reduction in mean PBAC score from 316 to 52 after six months of treatment. The mean hemoglobin concentration increased significantly from 8.4 to 9.8 gms/dl with a rise of 1.4gm/dl (p <0.05). The mean pretreatment endometrial thickness was 10.8mm and it decreased significantly to 8.1mm after 6 months of treatment with ormeloxifene (p < 0.05). 76.7% of the women showed marked subjective improvement in symptoms. The most common side effect reported was amenorrhea (13.3%).Conclusions: Ormeloxifene can be considered as an effective and safe therapeutic option for the medical management of dysfunctional uterine bleeding.

Background: Dysfunctional Uterine bleeding (DUB) is the most common cause of abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). Medical therapy being the first line of management, an ideal drug should be able to block the estrogenic effects on the Endometrium without interfering with its beneficial effects on other tissues. Both Ormeloxifene - a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) and Tranexamic acid-an anti fibrinolytic inhibitor is important in the treatment of DUB. The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of Ormeloxifene v/s Tranexamic acid in the treatment of DUB.Methods: This is a prospective double blind study conducted for 2 years in 200 women presenting with DUB attending to the Gynaecology outpatient department (OPD) of Narayana Medical College and Hospital, Nellore, AP, India. Two hundred women presenting with DUB were recruited into this study (after fulfilling inclusion and exclusion criteria) with informed consent and randomly divided into two equal groups (Group-A and Group-B) after obtaining college ethical committee approval.Results: The reduction in the mean pictorial blood loss assessment chart (PBAC) score with Ormeloxifene (from 278 to 97.6) was significantly more than that of Tranexamic acid (from 261 to 134.5) at six months (p <0.0001). The rise in Hemoglobin concentration (8.4g% to 11.15g% vs. 8.5 to 9.7gm%; p <0.008) and reduction in Endometrial thickness (from 10.57mm to 6.5mm v/s 9.96mm to 7.24mm p <0.0001) were also significantly more with Ormeloxifene than with Tranexamic acid. Relief from dysmenorrhoea and subjective improvement were also found to be considerable with Ormeloxifene.Conclusions: Both Ormeloxifene and Tranexamic acid can be considered for DUB treatment but Ormeloxifene is found to be superior to Tranexamic acid in various aspects.

Background: Dysfunctional uterine bleeding is one of the most often encountered gynecologic problems causing anemia, reduced quality of life and unnecessary hysterectomies. A prospective study was conducted on women with DUB to study the effect of ormeloxifene versus combined oral contraceptive pills in controlling blood loss in them.Methods: 100 Women with DUB were enrolled randomly in three groups. After baseline assessment each patient in group A was treated with iron tablets, containing 100 mg elemental iron and folic acid 1.5 mg, for three months and were termed as control group. Group B patients were treated with ormeloxifene in dose of 60 mg twice a week for twelve weeks. Group C patients were treated with combined oral contraceptive pills for twenty- one days starting from third day of their LMP. The treatment was continued for three consecutive cycles. The efficacy of the studied drugs was analyzed by comparing the baseline and post treatment PBAC score, haemoglobin level and endometrial thickness, using appropriate statistical tests.Results: Ormeloxifene was more effective than only iron or combined oral contraceptive therapy in controlling menstrual blood loss (79.11% versus 58.57%). There was a reduction in endometrial thickness in group receiving ormeloxifene as well as in the group receiving combined oral contraceptive pills (p=0.486), however this was statistically not significant.Conclusions: Ormeloxifene was significantly better than combined OCP in reduction of menstrual blood flow in cases of DUB. It has better compliance and marked improvement in subjective symptoms as compared to OCP.

Background: Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding (DUB) is a condition that affects nearly every woman at some point in her life. This study aims to compare the efficacy of Ormeloxifene and Norethisterone in reducing menorrhagia in such patients.Methods: This prospective study was done on 100 women presenting with dysfunctional uterine bleeding, of 20-50 years of age, who were ready for follow-up and were allocated into two equal groups, one was given Ormeloxifene and the other was given Norethisterone for a period of 3 months. Haemoglobin levels, endometrial thickness on ultrasound and Pictorial Blood loss Assessment Chart (PBAC) scores were assessed before and after the treatment.Results: It was found that both Ormeloxifene and Norethisterone reduced menorrhagia, with a significant difference in PBAC scores (p value <0.05). There was a notable reduction in PBAC scores in Ormeloxifene group (66.53% change from pretreatment mean value) as compared to Norethisterone group (31.38% change from pretreatment mean value); and same holds true for the change in haemoglobin levels as well as endometrial thickness. Ormeloxifene was found to have a greater effect on heavy menstrual bleeding in comparison to Norethisterone.Conclusions: Ormeloxifene is a new modality and is found to be a better option in reducing menorrhagia in DUB in respect to a greater success rate, better compliance and cost effectiveness.

The study was design to investigate the clinical effect of Micro implant system in Italy on immediate mandibular implant-supported overdenture. A total of 192 patients with mandibular edentulous treated in our hospital were randomly divided into 2 groups in which the control group consisted of 96 patients treated with immediate mandibular implant-supported overdenture by Xive implant system, while the observation group included 96 cases treated with the overdenture by Italy Micro implant system. Patients were followed up for 1 year and then the states of implant-borne overdentures, marginal bone resorption around alveolar bone, the compatibility of implant restorations with adjacent teeth, adverse events and satisfaction degree were compared between the groups. According to the results of 1-year follow-up, the resorption around alveolar bone of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (p<0.05). In the observation group the differences in labial gingival margin position, gingival color and texture were significantly better (p<0.05) as compared to control group. The incidence of adverse events was notably lower (p<0.05). The Italy Micro implant system has significant curative effect on mandibular implant-supported overdentures with good compatibility of the implant restorations with adjacent teeth and low incidence rate of adverse reactions, so it is worthy of clinical application and spreading.

Background: Dysfunctional uterine bleeding is a common presentation to both general practitioner and gynaecologists which can have a significant effect on a woman’s quality of life. The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of treating dysfunctional uterine bleeding according to endometrial thickness.Methods: This study was a hospital based prospective study undertaken in gynecology outpatient clinic of Central Women’s Hospital, Mandalay, Myanmar for one-year period (2016). A total of 60 patients were recruited and divided into 3 groups based on endometrial thickness and offered targeted hormonal treatments. At the end of the one-month treatment, patients were asked to return for a follow-up visit and from their menstrual diaries, the number of bleeding days and bleeding scores were assessed and calculated.Results: Among sixty women with dysfunctional uterine bleeding, 55% of patients had endometrial thickness less than 6 mm, 25% had endometrial thickness 6-11 mm, with 20% of patients having endometrial thickness more than 11 mm. After one month of study period, treatment was found to be effective in 86.6% of the patients according to bleeding days and in 70% of the patients according to bleeding score.Conclusions: In women presenting with dysfunctional uterine bleeding, increased endometrial thickness was found to be associated with increased BMI. In the treatment of dysfunctional uterine bleeding, when the endometrial thickness of the patient was assessed and hormonal treatment was given according to the endometrial thickness, treatment was proven to be effective.
