#39B - Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (Part II)

<p><strong>First Principles of Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (AUB)</strong></p><p>In this episode, we&#39;re going to break it all down from first principles. We&#39;ll walk through how to take a focused history without getting lost in the menstrual timeline, what investigations actually matter (and which ones don&#39;t), and how management changes depending on what&#39;s causing the bleeding.</p><p>As always, this isn&#39;t about memorising endless lists. It&#39;s about understanding the <em>why</em> behind the questions you ask and the tests you order, so the next time you&#39;re on ward rounds or in an OSCE, you&#39;ll know exactly where to start.</p><p>So grab your coffee, your notebook, or your favourite study snack, and let&#39;s dive into abnormal uterine bleeding—because periods might be monthly, but OSCEs can ask about them any day of the year!</p><p><br></p><p>Disclaimer: This episode was recorded on 8 May 2026.
