Abnormal bleeding and PCOS
A practice question in the style of the AMC Part 1 MCQ exam. Choose your answer to see the explanation.
A woman with PCOS has a period only twice a year and does not want hormonal contraception. What is advised to protect the endometrium?
Show the answer
The answer is B: A progestogen withdrawal bleed at least every 3 months.
Without ovulation, unopposed oestrogen builds the endometrium; regular withdrawal bleeds reduce hyperplasia risk.
