Patient's question:
In the recent few months, I've been experiencing severe lower back pain, weakness in my limbs, a heavy and bloated pain in my lower abdomen, and irregular menstruation. The amount of blood flow is light, and it consists of dark blood clots. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor diagnosed it as dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB). What kind of help I need: How many days of taking progesterone can I start taking medication?Doctor's answer:
Functional uterine bleeding, commonly caused by exposure to cold, overexertion, emotional disturbances, and endocrine disorders due to hormonal imbalances, requires attention to rest, avoiding cold exposure and overexertion, and refraining from spicy, greasy, and stimulating foods. Maintaining a regular lifestyle and follow-up check-ups after medication are important. As the condition varies and individual constitutions differ, the effectiveness of treatment may also vary. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
