Summary: New-generation oral GnRH antagonists, such as elagolix, relugolix, and linzagolix, show promising efficacy in the therapy of UFs and offer potential prospects for future treatment options.

A Review of Clinical Guidelines on the Management of Iron Deficiency and Iron-Deficiency Anemia in Women with Heavy Menstrual Bleeding

Diana Mansour et al.

Summary: Current guidelines for the management of heavy menstrual bleeding in women lack consensus on screening for iron deficiency and the use of iron therapy.
