Brief Summary

Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is responsible for significant health problem and social embarrassment and it is one of the common reasons women seek health care. It has a significant impact on the quality of life for the women. Women with abnormal bleeding have a lower quality of life than the general female population **(NPH).**

AUB is a significant clinical entity. AUB and its sub group, heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB), are common conditions affecting 14–25% of women of reproductive age **(Fraser et al, 2009)** and may have a significant impact on their physical, social, emotional and quality of life.

In the UK, over 800,000 women seek help for AUB annually **(NICE 2007).**

The prevalence varies in each country. In India, the reported prevalence of AUB is around **17.9% (NPH).**

Because of the morbidity associated with the surgical procedures, the [Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists](https://www.rcog.org.uk/) RCOG recommends beginning with medical management before resorting to surgical interventions, but medical management  of AUB should relieve symptoms, improve quality of life and avoid the risk of surgery.

Ormiloxifene (SERM) is finding a promising role in the treatment and management of AUB. Ormeloxifene has a good patient acceptability and compliance due to its minimal side effects, low cost and simple dosage schedule than that of Medroxyprogesterone (MPA).This study will furnish the necessary information about the use of Ormiloxifene.
