2021, Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology CanadaCitation Excerpt :Breakthrough bleeding is the most common adverse event with MHT and is often cited as the reason for discontinuation within the first 3 to 12 months.68–70 Patients should be informed that it is normal to see breakthrough bleeding up to 6 months after starting continuous MHT, with most women having amenorrhea by 12 months (<10% of women report ongoing breakthrough bleeding).31,70 Heavy vaginal bleeding or continued breakthrough bleeding beyond 6 months should be investigated.

2021, Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology CanadaCitation Excerpt :La métrorragie constitue l'effet indésirable le plus fréquent du THM et est souvent mentionnée comme la raison de l'arrêt du traitement dans les 3 à 12 premiers mois68–70. Les patientes doivent savoir que la métrorragie est normale jusqu’à 6 mois après l'instauration d'un THM continu, la plupart des femmes ayant une aménorrhée à 12 mois ou avant (< 10 % des femmes déclarent une métrorragie persistante)31,70. Les saignements vaginaux abondants ou une métrorragie persistante au-delà de 6 mois doivent faire l'objet d'une évaluation.
