withdrawal bleeding

0.01 sec.

withdrawal bleeding,

the passage of blood from the uterus, associated with the shedding of endometrium that has been stimulated and maintained by hormonal medication. It occurs when the medication is discontinued. In the endocrine evaluation of a woman with amenorrhea, withdrawal bleeding constitutes evidence that the woman's endometrium is responsive to hormonal stimulation and that the cause of her amenorrhea is probably not uterine.
