It is the most common type of menstrual disorder and is common in adolescence and menopause. It is divided into two categories: ovulatory and anovulatory. About 85% of cases are anovulatory functional uterine bleeding.

Menopause: Menopause means the end of menstruation, which means that menstruation stops for more than 12 months, but there are often changes in menstrual cycle and menstrual volume during the perimenopausal period. It is manifested as a shortened menstrual cycle, mainly a shortened follicular phase, no ovulation and increased menstrual volume.
