What to eat for regulation? What should be paid attention to? Seeking answers from the experts~Doctor's answer:
Okay:Menstrual disorders are common problems faced by many women, including cycles that become increasingly short or long, and increased bleeding volume. These conditions fall under the category of dysfunctional uterine bleeding, commonly referred to as DUB. In women of reproductive age, menstrual disorders are often caused by poor luteal function, meaning that while cycles may still occur, they tend to shorten or involve heavier bleeding.
Some women experience menstruation every 20 days due to poor luteal function. Similarly, others may have cycles every 30 days, but with prolonged bleeding duration, also resulting from poor luteal function. Although these cases are relatively common, the issue is not severe, as the bleeding volume is generally not excessively large.
In adolescents and postmenopausal women, anovulatory dysfunctional uterine bleeding is more prevalent. Its main characteristic is a lack of regularity—sometimes months may pass without a period, and when menstruation does occur, the bleeding is very heavy. In clinical settings, some teenage girls and postmenopausal women have hemoglobin levels as low as 4 grams, whereas a normal hemoglobin level should be 13 grams. A 1-gram decrease in hemoglobin is equivalent to losing approximately 400 milliliters of blood. If excessive bleeding leads to a 9-gram drop in hemoglobin, it means the bleeding volume has reached around 3,600 milliliters, causing severe weakness in the individual.
