Patient's question:
My menstrual period lasts a long time. Sometimes it can last for more than ten days. It always comes intermittently, stopping for a few days and then coming again for a few days. The amount is very small, and it is dark red. The hospital examination said it was internal uterine bleeding. What could be the cause of this?Doctor's answer:
Intrauterine bleeding may be functional uterine bleeding, abbreviated as FUB, which 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. There are also factors to consider, such as age, such as menopause, which may also cause uterine bleeding. Clinically, "FUB" is commonly divided into four types: blood heat type, blood deficiency type, blood stasis type, and spleen deficiency type. According to age characteristics, it can be further classified as "FUB" in adolescence, "FUB" in the reproductive age, and "FUB" in menopause.
