Abstract
The current terminology describing abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is not universally agreed upon. A new AUB terminology must be uniform, unambiguous, and symptom focused. A prototype letters and numbers formula covering the entire spectrum of AUB is proposed that may contain sequences such as B1D2F1A2P1 (i.e., moderate-1 bleeding, lasting for 2 days-duration, with frequent monthly-1 presentation, causing significant-anemia and mild-1 pains). Universal acceptance of a similar standard and reproducible terminology will add semiquantitative information, enable accurate reporting, and facilitate clinical research.
