Özet
The aim of this qualitative study is to describe the experiences of Turkish women with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). The study was conducted with 15 women with AUB. The experiences of the women with AUB were categorized into four themes: physical effects, psychological effects, effects on daily life, and effects on marriage relationships and sexual life. It was determined that the women participating the study faced numerous physical, psychological, social issues. The findings highlight the need for treatment and care to go beyond physical symptoms, adopting a holistic approach that considers all aspects of a woman’s life affected by AUB.
