ABSTRACT

A 16 years old female had taken compound oral contraceptives and other hemostasis method for irregular bleeding from vagina more than 24 hours. The bleeding did not decrease. However no active bleeding and accumulation of blood clots were visible in the uterine cavity, and third-degree erosion-like changes of the cervix with congestion were observed by vaginoscopy. The columnar epithelium is fragile and caused the small vessels to open. So the patient's treatment with oral was ineffective. Abnormal uterine bleeding in adolescence is not limited to adolescent dysfunctional uterine bleeding and bleeding disorders. Vaginoscopy which is the preferred method in adolescence and women who has no sexual life can discriminate whether the bleeding from the endometrium or the cervix.
