What are the dangers of functional uterine bleeding?

Functional uterine bleeding may lead to anemia, infertility and increased risk of infection. Anemia is caused by excessive blood loss, which results in the body's inability to replenish enough red blood cells in time; infertility is caused by menstrual disorders affecting ovarian function; and the increased risk of infection is because long-term bleeding can damage the barrier function of the endometrium. These hazards require timely evaluation and intervention to avoid further health problems.

1. Risk of anemia: Functional uterine bleeding often leads to prolonged heavy bleeding, resulting in insufficient supply of red blood cells. Anemia patients usually experience symptoms such as fatigue, pale skin, and palpitations. For anemia patients, it is generally necessary to increase iron-rich diets, such as red meat, spinach, and soy products, and iron supplements can also be used. If the anemia is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention in time for more professional treatment, such as blood transfusion.

2. Infertility: Due to abnormal menstruation, the cyclical changes of the endometrium are irregular, which may lead to anovulation and thus infertility. This is especially important for women who are planning to have children. Treatments include hormone regulation therapy, such as the use of oral contraceptives or progesterone preparations to help maintain a normal menstrual cycle. At the same time, Chinese medicine conditioning and fertility guidance can also be used as auxiliary options.

3. Increased risk of infection: Long-term uterine bleeding will cause the endometrial surface to be continuously exposed, reducing its barrier function against pathogens and easily causing infections such as endometritis. To prevent infection, you need to maintain good private hygiene, avoid unnecessary vaginal douching and abuse of antibiotics. When symptoms of infection appear, such as abdominal pain, abnormal leucorrhea, etc., you should seek medical treatment for anti-infection treatment in time.

The harm of functional uterine bleeding to health cannot be ignored. From anemia, infertility to infection, it may seriously affect daily life and physical health. Once functional uterine bleeding is discovered, timely measures should be taken, such as changing diet, taking medication or receiving professional medical advice, to control symptoms as soon as possible. In life, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and regular gynecological examinations can effectively prevent and control the expansion of related problems.
