What is the meaning of dysfunctional uterine bleeding?

Patient's question:

A few days ago, I felt that my blood volume was a bit abnormal, so I immediately went to the hospital to get the reason proven and then had a thorough examination done right away. The results of the examination said that I have dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB). What does this DUB mean?

Doctor's answer:

According to the current situation, if abnormal uterine bleeding occurs again, further examination needs to be carried out. If, after the examination, the recurrence of many organic diseases of the uterus is ruled out, it is still considered that the uterine erosion is caused by functional endocrine disorders of the uterus, so it is called "uterine blood" in full. It is mainly caused by abnormal hormone levels, so after confirming the diagnosis, active treatment needs to be carried out. It is basically possible to recover to normal conditions, and it is a very common disease.
