在过去的5年里，国际上进行了一次重要的讨论，目的是就使用定义明确的术语来描述与子宫出血模式相关的异常的正常限度和范围达成一致。本文建立在以前提出的概念，其中包括放弃长期使用，定义不清，混乱的拉丁语和希腊语起源的英语术语，如月经过多和子宫出血。功能失调性子宫出血这个术语也应该被抛弃。已经提出并定义了替代术语和概念。这里描述的术语和定义已经过全面审查，并已被广泛接受为常规临床实践和比较研究的基础。预计这些术语和定义将通过国际妇产科联合会月经紊乱工作组定期再次审查。
Over the past 5 years there has been a major international discussion aimed at reaching agreement on the use of well-defined terminologies to describe the normal limits and range of abnormalities related to patterns of uterine bleeding. This article builds on concepts previously presented, which include the abandonment of long-used, ill-defined, and confusing English-language terms of Latin and Greek origin, such as menorrhagia and metrorrhagia. The term dysfunctional uterine bleeding should also be discarded. Alternative terms and concepts have been proposed and defined. The terminologies and definitions described here have been comprehensively reviewed and have received wide acceptance as a basis both for routine clinical practice and for comparative research studies. It is anticipated that these terminologies and definitions will be reviewed again on a regular basis through the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics Menstrual Disorders Working Group.
