Patient's question:
What to eat for conditioning? What should be paid attention to? Seeking answers from the experts~Doctor's answer:
Okay:Irregular menstruation is a common issue many women face, including cycles that become shorter or longer, or increased bleeding volume, all of which fall under dysfunctional uterine bleeding, commonly referred to as DUB. In women of reproductive age, irregular menstruation is often caused by poor corpus luteum function, meaning there is a cycle, but it may shorten or the bleeding can be heavier.
Some women may have a period every 20 days due to poor corpus luteum function. Similarly, others might have a period every 30 days, but with a longer bleeding duration, also caused by poor corpus luteum function. While these conditions are relatively common, they are not usually severe, as the bleeding volume is not excessively large.
In adolescents and postmenopausal women, anovulatory dysfunctional uterine bleeding is more common. Its main characteristic is a lack of regularity—sometimes months may pass without a period, and when bleeding occurs, it can be very heavy. Some teenage girls and postmenopausal women seen in clinics may have hemoglobin levels as low as 4 grams, whereas a normal hemoglobin level is 13 grams. A 1-gram decrease in hemoglobin is equivalent to losing about 400 milliliters of blood. If excessive bleeding leads to a 9-gram decrease in hemoglobin, it means the blood loss has reached approximately 3,600 milliliters, causing the person to become extremely weak.
