Emollients are a MUST in managing eczema! They help repair and protect the skin barrier, locking in moisture to keep your skin soft, smooth, and calm. By creating a protective layer, emollients help reduce dryness, irritation, and flare-ups, making a world of difference for those with eczema. Use them daily—especially after bathing—on damp skin to seal in moisture and soothe inflammation. Consistency is key for keeping eczema at bay.

Understanding Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (AUB)

What is AUB?
AUB refers to bleeding from the uterus that is irregular in volume, duration, or timing, often outside of normal menstrual cycles. It can be a sign that something isn’t quite right, and understanding the causes is key to finding a solution.

The PALM-COEIN Classification

Causes of AUB are categorized into two groups:
Structural and Non-structural causes.

PALM (Structural Causes):

• Polyp
• Adenomyosis
• Leiomyoma (Fibroids)
• Malignancy or hyperplasia

COEIN (Non-structural Causes):

• Coagulopathy (Bleeding disorders)
• Ovulatory dysfunction
• Endometrial
• Iatrogenic (Medications, devices)
• Not yet classified

If you’re experiencing abnormal uterine bleeding, don’t ignore it. It could be a sign of an underlying condition that needs attention. Always consult a healthcare professional to find the best treatment and care.
