Routine evaluation and treatment of unexplained menorrhagia: do we consider haemostatic disorders?
Haemostatic evaluation in women with unexplained menorrhagia is uncommon in gynaecological practice in our centre. Although most of the patients were satisfied with their treatment, a significant number required hysterectomy and another important proportion had to accept their menorrhagia. We hypothesize that the identification of haemostatic disorders might improve care for these women.
These findings indicate that genetically very similar E. coli strains differ markedly in their ability to activate the inflammasome.
