Irregular menstruation, how to deal with adolescent dysfunctional uterine bleeding

Patient's question:

The doctor said it was due to irregular menstruation, dysfunctional uterine bleeding during puberty, and worsened by bad mood, causing continuous bleeding every day. How can I maintain a good mood and how should I be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! The treatment principle for adolescent dysfunctional uterine bleeding is to stop bleeding quickly and then adjust to establish a normal menstrual cycle, prevent recurrence, and improve overall condition, correct anemia. Dilation and curettage (D&C) is contraindicated. Hormonal methods can be used to stop bleeding, typically involving sex hormones such as progesterone. However, hormonal treatment should be under the guidance of a doctor and should not be self-administered. After hormonal bleeding control, efforts should focus on adjusting the menstrual cycle to avoid dependence on hormones, as this may worsen endocrine disorders and is a symptom-focused approach rather than a root cause solution. Menstrual cycle adjustment can be achieved through traditional Chinese medicine regulation, which has fewer side effects. Improving dietary habits, lifestyle, and appropriate exercise to enhance blood circulation are also very helpful for treatment. Wishing you good health!
