How to treat functional uterine bleeding

Functional uterine bleeding requires a suitable treatment plan based on the severity of the disease, personal health status and fertility needs. Those with severe conditions should seek medical attention promptly.

Functional uterine bleeding is a type of abnormal uterine bleeding caused by endocrine dysfunction, usually manifested as prolonged menstruation, increased menstrual blood flow or cycle disorders. It often occurs during adolescence or perimenopause, because the endocrine system of women in these stages is less stable, leading to an imbalance of estrogen and progesterone in the body, which in turn affects the normal shedding of the endometrium. Functional uterine bleeding can only be diagnosed if organic diseases such as uterine fibroids or other gynecological diseases are excluded.

Treatment methods vary depending on the situation. Minor bleeding can be improved by adjusting work and rest and a proper diet. Nutritional supplements such as iron and protein can relieve anemia symptoms. You can also try Chinese patent medicines or herbal medicines to regulate endocrine. If the amount of bleeding is large, drug treatment can be used. The most commonly used are hormonal drugs to regulate the balance of estrogen and progesterone to help restore normal shedding of the endometrium. Some patients may need oral contraceptives to maintain regular cycles, and patients with severe anemia may even need blood transfusions. If the above treatments are ineffective and the condition is serious, surgical curettage or endometrial ablation may be necessary.

You need to maintain a regular schedule and avoid overwork. You should also pay attention to a balanced diet and stay away from high-sugar and high-fat foods. If you experience abnormal bleeding, you should seek professional medical help as soon as possible to avoid anemia or other complications caused by delay. Most patients can recover to a healthy state by maintaining good living habits and cooperating with doctors.
