Metrorrhagia Market

Key Highlights

• The metrorrhagia market is expected to experience growth during the forecast period (2024–2034). This growth is a direct consequence of various market-driving factors such as rising prevalence rate, increasing cases of uterine fibroids and polyps, effective treatment cost, and the easy availability of treatment options. 
• The current market is predominantly occupied by treatments such as tranexamic acid. There is no US FDA-approved drug for metrorrhagia. The emerging pipeline lacks industry-led drug development. There is an urgent need for novel treatment options, given that most advancements are currently driven by academic institutions. This presents a compelling opportunity for pharmaceutical companies to step in and innovate, not only to meet a critical medical need but also to tap into a potentially lucrative market segment.

Metrorrhagia Overview

Metrorrhagia, also referred to as intermenstrual bleeding is vaginal bleeding that occurs at irregular intervals and is not associated with the menstrual cycle. There are several causes of metrorrhagia, some of which are harmless. In other cases, metrorrhagia can be a sign of a more serious condition. Common causes of metrorrhagia include pregnancy, use of certain contraceptives (especially Depo-Provera) and intrauterine devices, and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). 

Other causes include coagulation disorders, genital trauma, neoplasms, and infections such as tuberculosis. Dysfunctional/abnormal uterine bleeding (DUB/AUB) is an abnormal genital tract bleeding based in the uterus and found in the absence of demonstrable structural or organic pathology. It is usually due to hormonal disturbances. 

Metrorrhagia Diagnosis and Treatment Algorithm 

Diagnosis must be made by exclusion since organic pathology must first be ruled out. It can be classified as ovulatory or ovulatory, depending on whether ovulation is occurring or not. Even radiation, collagenase injection, and needle aponeurotomy are also recommended. 

Treatment of abnormal uterine bleeding varies, depending on the cause. For example, if fibroids are found they need to be removed either by myomectomy or hysterectomy, and if cancer is found the appropriate treatment needs to be given. If no cause is found then the patient is labeled as having dysfunctional uterine bleeding [DUB], diagnosis by exclusion. If this type of bleeding is suspected but treatment fails, other causes should be investigated. The goals in the treatment of dysfunctional uterine bleeding are to control bleeding, prevent recurrences, and preserve fertility if the patient requires it. The choice of treatment depends on whether the bleeding is acute or chronic. 

Metrorrhagia Epidemiology

The epidemiology section of the metrorrhagia market report offers information on the patient populations, including historical and projected trends for each of the seven major markets. Examining key opinion leader views from physicians or clinical experts can assist in identifying the reasons behind historical and projected trends. The diagnosed patient pool, their trends, and the underlying assumptions are all included in this section of the report.

This section also presents the data with relevant tables and graphs, offering a clear and concise view of the prevalence of metrorrhagia. Additionally, the report discloses the assumptions made during the analysis, ensuring data interpretation and presentation transparency. This epidemiological data is valuable for understanding the disease burden and its impact on the patient population across various regions.

Key Findings

As per analysis, abnormal uterine bleeding is a common condition, with a prevalence of about 10% to 30% among women of reproductive age, negatively impacting an individual's quality of life.

Based on our analysis up to 95% of cases of abnormal vaginal bleeding in adolescents are caused by dysfunctional uterine bleeding due to anovulation. Even though a large percentage of teenagers are anovulatory, most do not experience abnormal uterine bleeding.

As per analysis, the prevalence of abnormal uterine bleeding among reproductive-aged women internationally is estimated to be about 3% to 30%, with a higher number occurring around menarche and perimenopause. Many studies are limited to heavy menstrual bleeding, but when irregular and intermenstrual bleeding is considered, the prevalence rises to around 35% or greater. 

Our analysis suggests an abnormal uterine bleeding due to ovulatory dysfunction, the most common cause of abnormal uterine bleeding, occurs most often in women >45 (> 50% of cases) and in adolescents (20% of cases). 

Metrorrhagia Market Outlook

For acute abnormal uterine bleeding, hormonal methods are the first line of medical management. Intravenous (IV) conjugated equine estrogen, combined oral contraceptive pills (OCPs), and oral progestin are all options for treating acute abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). Tranexamic acid prevents fibrin degradation and can be used to treat acute AUB. Desmopressin, administered intranasal, subcutaneously, or intravenously, can be given for acute AUB secondary to the coagulopathy von Willebrand disease. Some patients may require dilation and curettage. Based on the PALM-COEIN acronym for etiologies of chronic AUB, specific treatment options for each category are listed below:

Polyps are treated through surgical resection. Adenomyosis is treated via hysterectomy. Less often, adenomyomectomy is performed. Leiomyoma (fibroids) can be treated through medical or surgical management depending on the patient's desire for fertility, medical comorbidities, pressure symptoms, and distortion of the uterine cavity. 

Surgical options include uterine artery embolization, endometrial ablation, or hysterectomy. Medical management options include a levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device (IUD), GnRH agonists like Relumina, systemic progestin, and tranexamic acid with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

Malignancy or hyperplasia can be treated through surgery, +/- adjuvant treatment depending on the stage, progestin in high doses when surgery is not an option, or palliative therapy, such as radiotherapy. Coagulopathies leading to AUB can be treated with tranexamic acid or desmopressin (DDAVP).

Ovulatory dysfunction can be treated through lifestyle modification in women with obesity, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or other conditions in which anovulatory cycles are suspected. Endocrine disorders should be corrected using appropriate medications, such as cabergoline for hyperprolactinemia and levothyroxine for hypothyroidism. 

There is an urgent need for therapies that specifically target metrorrhagia. However, with ongoing research and continued dedication, the future holds hope for effective treatments and, ultimately, a cure for this challenging condition. According to DelveInsight, the metrorrhagia market in the 7MM is expected to change significantly during the study period 2020–2034.
