She was hemodynamically stable at the time of examination, with per speculum examination revealing active bleeding. Transvaginal sonography revealed a scar ectopic at the previous caesarean scar, and she was given methotrexate for medical management. The bleeding did not control, warranting further investigations with Doppler ultrasonography (USG) and a computed tomography angiography scan, revealing a uterine arteriovenous malformation. Then, uterine artery embolization was done, following which surgery was done due to persistent vascularity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Per vaginal bleeding in young women may be caused by scar ectopic and uterine arteriovenous malformations. Doppler USG is the first-line investigation, and computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging help in confirming the diagnosis. Methotrexate, along with uterine artery embolization, is used in the treatment.
