Do you need to keep taking this medication for dysfunctional uterine bleeding?

Patient's question:

The doctor prescribed only three days of medication for dysfunctional uterine bleeding. It was small, white pills, taken once a day with eight pills per dose. I don't know what the medication is. After finishing the three days, they applied some ointment. I'm not sure if I should get more medication.

Doctor's answer:

Hemorrhagic dysfunction refers to a functional disorder of uterine bleeding, where a thorough examination of the internal and external genital organs shows no obvious organic inflammation. It is caused by abnormal uterine bleeding due to dysfunction and disturbance of the neuroendocrine regulatory function. It is often characterized by the loss of normal menstrual cycle regularity, prolonged menstrual periods, continuously increasing menstrual volume, or irregular vaginal bleeding. Treatment primarily involves medication, such as contraceptive drugs or traditional Chinese medicine. In severe cases, intravenous infusion and topical medication may be required. Best wishes!
