What is functional uterine bleeding

What is dysfunctional uterine bleeding?

1. Functional uterine bleeding refers to dysfunctional uterine bleeding, which is abnormal uterine bleeding caused by dysfunction of the reproductive endocrine axis, abbreviated as functional uterine bleeding.

2. Dysfunctional uterine bleeding usually occurs during adolescence and perimenopause. Clinically, it is often manifested as abnormal uterine bleeding, with varying amounts, or accompanied by anemia, dizziness, palpitations, shortness of breath, fatigue, etc.

3. Common clinical types are ovulatory functional uterine bleeding and anovulatory functional uterine bleeding. The causes of ovulatory functional uterine bleeding include luteal insufficiency, luteal dysfunction, and hormone level fluctuations before and after ovulation, which are often caused by mental stress. Anovulatory functional uterine bleeding is mainly caused by imperfect development of the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis or decreased ovarian function, resulting in acyclic ovulation, which often occurs during adolescence or perimenopause.

4. It is recommended that patients should seek medical attention and treatment in time if they have any discomfort in their daily life, so as not to delay the disease. They should avoid excessive tension and stress, maintain a good attitude, and avoid bad emotions, so as not to affect the recovery of the disease. They should avoid staying up late for a long time, and pay more attention to rest and get enough sleep.
