Patient's question:
Uterine bleeding for over four months, how did it happen, is it inflammation?Doctor's answer:
Hello, dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) is also known as functional uterine bleeding and is a common gynecological condition. DUB is caused by abnormal uterine bleeding due to disorders in the neuroendocrine mechanisms that regulate reproduction, without any organic lesions, and it does not belong to the category of inflammation. It is more common in the premenopausal and postmenopausal stages. Symptoms include irregular menstrual cycles, prolonged menstrual periods, excessive menstrual flow, or irregular vaginal bleeding, among others. It does not affect sexual life.It is recommended that you undergo diagnostic dilation and curettage (D&C). This procedure can help rule out other endometrial lesions and stop bleeding. During this period, pay attention to rest, maintain a balanced diet, and ensure good sleep. Eat easily digestible foods, avoid strenuous exercise and exposure to cold, regulate your emotions, exercise regularly, strengthen your physical fitness, and enhance your immunity.
