Patient's question:
Functional uterine bleeding, what factors or causes can lead to it?Doctor's answer:
Dysfunctional uterine bleeding, abbreviated as DUB, refers to abnormal uterine bleeding characterized by menstrual disorders, caused by dysfunction of the HPOU axis rather than by organic lesions in the reproductive tract. When menstrual bleeding is excessive, especially when symptoms such as dizziness, palpitations, and pallor (indicating anemia) occur, it is advisable to seek medical attention to rule out organic lesions. Only by thoroughly treating these diseases can menorrhagia be fundamentally cured. It is recommended to undergo a sex hormone six-item test at a regular hospital to determine the factors or underlying causes.It is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine for treatment, specifically Yangyin Zhixue Decoction. Ingredients: Rehmannia glutinosa, white peony root, baical root, scrophularia ningpoensis, dendrobium candidum, phellodendron amurense cortex, calcined oyster shell, flower of fritillaria, carbonized sterculia coliformis, and carbonized lotus leaf.
If medication is ineffective in controlling the bleeding, a uterine curettage may be considered. Approximately half of the patients can achieve hemostasis after the procedure.
