Patient's question:
What causes dysfunctional uterine bleeding, and is it serious?Doctor's answer:
Chronic dysfunctional uterine bleeding is harmful to the body, and it is primarily a functional disease caused by endocrine disorders. The health problems caused by dysfunctional uterine bleeding can be considered from two aspects: ovarian dysfunction and uterine bleeding. Corresponding to ovarian dysfunction is abnormal sex hormone levels, which will affect the body's metabolism; abnormal growth of the endometrium, which can even develop into estrogen-dependent endometrial lesions, endangering life; and anovulation or luteal phase deficiency leading to infertility. Related to uterine bleeding are issues such as hemorrhagic anemia, weakened immune function, and the impact on sexual life between couples... These are undeniable facts. Additionally, dysfunctional uterine bleeding can bring pressure to women's work and mental well-being, severely reducing their quality of life.
