RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 The outcome of menorrhagia: a retrospective case control study JF The Journal of the Royal College of General Practitioners JO J R Coll Gen Pract FD British Journal of General Practice SP 715 OP 720 VO 33 IS 256 A1 Stott, Peter C. YR 1983 UL http://bjgp.org/content/33/256/715.abstract AB One hundred and three women who were known to have complained of menorrhagia at some time in their lives were compared with a control group drawn from the practice's age-sex index. The results indicated that the women in the menorrhagia group were more likely to have had antidepressant medication prescribed for them at some time in their lives than the women in the control group. Furthermore, their case folders were thicker than those of the controls. The age at which menorrhagia was first reported was the only factor studied which was associated with increased likelihood of hysterectomy.
