Abstract
Objective
Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is a prevalent condition in reproductive-aged women that significantly decreases the quality of life. A thorough history is necessary to determine the causes of AUB, which were categorized by the AUB System 2 (PALM-COEIN). AUB has been associated with retained intrauterine objects. However, studies regarding AUB caused by retained stitches of the cervical cerclage were limited.
Case Report
We present two cases of AUB caused by retained stitches of the cervical cerclage. Both cases were successfully treated by removing the retained stitches by hysteroscopy.
Conclusion
A comprehensive history is crucial to AUB evaluation, especially a previous history of iatrogenic processes, such as intrauterine device placement, retained cerclage stitches, or other foreign bodies.
