Types of uterine bleeding in patients with functional uterine bleeding

Dysfunctional uterine bleeding is characterized by irregular menstrual cycles and changes in the amount and nature of uterine bleeding. The types of uterine bleeding in patients with Dysfunctional uterine bleeding are as follows:

Irregular uterine bleeding

It often occurs in women during adolescence and menopause. The bleeding characteristics are irregular menstrual cycle, prolonged menstruation, increased blood volume, irregular bleeding time, amount of bleeding and interval time. Uterine bleeding often occurs after a short period of amenorrhea.

Bleeding between periods

Due to the temporary drop in estrogen levels, the endometrium loses hormonal support and partially sheds, causing regular vaginal bleeding. If you are measuring your basal body temperature, you will find that this bleeding usually occurs during the transition from low body temperature to high body temperature. It manifests as uterine bleeding between two menstrual periods. The amount of bleeding is small and often goes unnoticed. It often occurs on the 12th to 16th day of the menstrual cycle, lasting from 1-2 hours to 1-2 days, and rarely reaches the amount of menstruation. Intermenstrual bleeding is often accompanied by ovulation and ovulation pain.

Heavy menstruation

It is mainly caused by the dysfunction of the neuroendocrine function regulating reproduction. It manifests as heavy menstrual bleeding, accompanied by blood clots, with a total blood loss of 500-600 ml in one menstrual period, with a normal cycle; or prolonged menstruation, which takes 10-20 days to stop, but the menstrual flow is not necessarily heavy.

Frequent menstruation

The duration and amount of bleeding may be normal, but the menstrual cycle may be shortened, the menstruation may come more than 7 days earlier, and it may not happen once in a while, but may occur for more than 2 consecutive cycles. It can happen to women of all ages.
