Episode Description from the Publisher

First Principles of Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (AUB)In this episode, we're going to break it all down from first principles. We'll walk through how to take a focused history without getting lost in the menstrual timeline, what investigations actually matter (and which ones don't), and how management changes depending on what's causing the bleeding.As always, this isn't about memorising endless lists. It's about understanding the why behind the questions you ask and the tests you order, so the next time you're on ward rounds or in an OSCE, you'll know exactly where to start.So grab your coffee, your notebook, or your favourite study snack, and let's dive into abnormal uterine bleeding—because periods might be monthly, but OSCEs can ask about them any day of the year!Disclaimer: This episode was recorded on 8 May 2026.
