Abstract

Irregular uterine bleeding and profuse menstrual bleeding often occur in patients treated by antipsychotics, antiepileptics, and some antihypertensive drugs. Such bleedings represent an important problem in clinical practice, especially when related to antipsychotic treatment. Nonetheless, this problem has not been often analyzed in references. This paper describes a recurrent multiple endometrial polyposis accompanied by profuse menstrual bleeding in a patient undergoing a multi-year treatment of bipolar affective disorder by antipsychotics and discusses the possibilities of prevention of irregular and profuse menstrual bleeding in patients that must use antipsychotic therapy in order to treat a psychiatric illness.
