What is the cause of functional uterine bleeding and what medicine to take

There are many causes of dysfunctional uterine bleeding, including hormone imbalance, thyroid dysfunction and other factors. Medical treatment usually includes oral contraceptives, hemostatic drugs and hormone replacement therapy.

1. Physiological factors (hormone level disorder): The most common cause of functional uterine bleeding is the imbalance of hormone levels in the body. Due to the imbalance of the ratio of estrogen and progesterone, the endometrium cannot shed normally, resulting in bleeding. In this case, oral contraceptives can help adjust hormone levels and restore normal menstrual cycles.

2. Other diseases (abnormal thyroid function): Abnormal secretion of thyroid hormones may also cause irregular menstruation and lead to functional uterine bleeding. For bleeding caused by abnormal thyroid function, the symptoms of uterine bleeding can be indirectly improved by treating the thyroid disease itself. For example, taking levothyroxine tablets can help normalize thyroid hormone levels.

3. Drug treatment: Hemostatic drugs such as tranexamic acid can directly reduce the amount of bleeding, while hormone replacement therapy (such as the use of progesterone) helps to counteract the bleeding caused by progesterone deficiency.

Treatment of functional uterine bleeding needs to be individualized according to the cause. By adjusting your lifestyle, such as maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise, to support hormone balance. At the same time, drug treatment is also essential. Use appropriate drugs under the guidance of a doctor to regulate hormone levels or directly stop bleeding. Be sure to see a doctor in time to get an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan.
