Patient's question:
My mother has been experiencing uterine bleeding for these past few decades. After examination, it was found to be dysfunctional uterine bleeding and endometrial hyperplasia. In recent days, the amount of bleeding has been quite heavy. Currently, the hospital has two opinions:1. The gynecologist suggests removing the uterus.
2. Another department suggests a surgical procedure to block the blood vessels inside, which would help stop the bleeding.
Regarding the hysterectomy, my mother is very concerned that it might affect her marital relationship, and she always feels uneasy about having an organ removed from her body. As for the other treatment, the doctor has only performed it once before and is worried about its safety. Moreover, will stopping the bleeding actually serve as a treatment?

Doctor's answer:
Functional uterine bleeding, now commonly abbreviated as "Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding" (DUB). DUB is a common gynecological condition. It refers to abnormal uterine bleeding caused by disorders in the neuroendocrine regulation of reproduction, with no apparent organic lesions in the internal or external genitalia, excluding pregnancy, tumors, inflammation, trauma, or systemic bleeding disorders. It is clinically classified into two types: ovulatory and anovulatory.Take care of your health. Increase your nutrition by eating more protein-rich foods, vegetables, and fruits.
