Patient's question:
I had my period last month, and it lasted for a whole month before stopping. Later, I was diagnosed with dysfunctional uterine bleeding. The doctor prescribed me progesterone anesthesia, and after that, my period became normal for a month. But this month, it has been almost 10 days, and my period is still light and irregular, although the amount is not very much. Is it possible that the condition has returned? What are some good treatment methods? I sincerely ask for help from all the experts. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Functional uterine bleeding, known as "" in traditional Chinese medicine, is clinically categorized into two types: one is sudden and heavy bleeding, referred to as the "" syndrome; the other is continuous and intermittent bleeding, termed the "" syndrome. The treatment principle for functional uterine bleeding is to promptly apply medication and restore the menstrual cycle to prevent recurrence and correct anemia. During treatment, it is essential to distinguish between postmenopausal functional uterine bleeding and anovulatory functional uterine bleeding. The former occurs when the menopausal function is disrupted again, such as in adolescent or perimenopausal bleeding; the latter is due to luteal dysfunction, commonly seen in women of reproductive age. Treatment plans are tailored to individual differences based on the patient's age, duration of the condition, and the amount of bleeding.
