Patient's question:
I remember this happened a few months ago too. About a week after my period ended, I experienced uterine bleeding again, which had never happened before. At the time, I didn't pay much attention to it. This time, only a few days after my period, I started bleeding again today. I don't have a boyfriend, and I've been paying attention to hygiene during my period. Now, I'm a bit worried and hesitant about whether to see a doctor.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Your condition falls under functional uterine bleeding, abbreviated as "Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding" (DUB). It is a common gynecological disorder. There are two types of DUB. One type involves abnormal menstruation, where examination of the internal and external reproductive organs shows no obvious organic lesions, and excludes pregnancy, tumors, inflammation, trauma, or systemic bleeding disorders, while the abnormal uterine bleeding is caused by dysfunction of the neuroendocrine system that regulates reproduction. The other type involves abnormal uterine bleeding, which is mostly due to organic lesions such as inflammation, polyps, uterine fibroids, or endometriosis. It is important to seek medical attention promptly for examination and diagnosis. Wishing you good health.
