Patient's question:
How can someone get this disease? What exactly causes dysfunctional uterine bleeding?Doctor's answer:
Hello, dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) is an abnormal uterine bleeding caused by disorders in the neuroendocrine mechanisms that regulate reproduction. DUB is divided into two types: anovulatory DUB and ovulatory DUB. The former occurs when ovulation function is impaired and is more common in adolescents and postmenopausal women; the latter is due to luteal dysfunction and is more prevalent in women of reproductive age. The main approach is to conduct an endocrine examination followed by specific treatment.
