Abstract

Clinical characterization of adolescent girls linked to puberty menorrhagia is relevant. Hence, a hospital-based observational study was conducted on 76 adolescent girls diagnosed with puberty menorrhagia. Patients underwent detailed clinical assessments, laboratory investigations and imaging studies to determine the underlying causes. The most common cause of puberty menorrhagia was anovulatory DUB (72.37%), followed by polycystic ovarian disease (10.53%), hypothyroidism (6.58%) and hematological disorders (6.58%). A significant proportion of patients experienced prolonged bleeding (7-8 days in 72.37% of cases), with moderate-to-severe anemia affecting nearly two- thirds of the cohort. Thus, it is important to clinically characterize adolescent girls presenting with puberty menorrhagia.
