Is functional uterine bleeding harmful? Speaking of functional uterine bleeding, I believe many female friends are familiar with it. This disease is relatively common in life and is also one of the common gynecological diseases in clinical practice.

Even if no lesions are found, they will be depressed all day long and cannot spend their old age in peace and happiness.

Secondly, functional uterine bleeding is frequent, lasts for a long time, and involves a large amount of bleeding. Patients often experience anemia symptoms due to blood loss. In severe cases, they may suffer from hemorrhagic shock and even be life-threatening.
