The importance of preventing functional uterine bleeding

Dysfunctional uterine bleeding is one of the most common diseases that affect women's health. It can lead to a series of complications, such as anemia, infection, etc. In severe cases, it can cause severe anemia and hemorrhagic shock, affecting study, life and work, and even endangering life. Secondly, it affects women's quality of life and physical and mental health. Dysfunctional uterine bleeding in adolescence can affect the growth and development of adolescent girls and the establishment of a normal reproductive axis. Dysfunctional uterine bleeding during the reproductive period can affect the patient's reproductive function and the couple's family life. In addition, the endometrium of patients with anovulatory functional uterine bleeding may develop endometrial hyperplasia due to the continuous action of estrogen without progesterone antagonism. About 3% of complex endometrial hyperplasia can develop into endometrial cancer, and about 1/3 of atypical hyperplasia can develop into endometrial cancer.

At the same time, many patients do not pay enough attention to functional uterine bleeding. When it occurs, they do not seek medical treatment in time or receive regular treatment. When it lasts for several months or even years, the condition is already serious. Since the disease is defined as functional and non-organic, the concept of despising functional diseases has long been formed, making it easy for both doctors and patients to despise the disease. In the face of dysfunctional uterine bleeding, we should attach importance to the prevention of dysfunctional uterine bleeding in concepts and medical practice, which will help reduce the incidence and recurrence rate of dysfunctional uterine bleeding.
