Patient's question:
I've had vaginal peeling for the past two days, but I just finished my period about half a month ago and don't want to have another period. I'm quite worried, so I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and had an ultrasound. The doctor's results said it was dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB). I don't know what DUB is, and what should I do about it?Doctor's answer:
Hypermenorrhea is the full name for dysfunctional uterine bleeding. It is usually caused by functional endocrine disorders of the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovary axis, leading to abnormal neuroendocrine activity and irregular bleeding. Treating this condition can be slow, and estrogen-progestogen drugs may be prescribed for combination therapy, generally requiring at least three months of adjustment. Additionally, attention should be paid to adjusting habits in various aspects of life, such as emotions, lifestyle, and diet, to prevent many adverse lifestyle triggers.
