Dysfunctional uterine bleeding - FAQ
What is Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding (DUB)?
Dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) is a term used to describe abnormal uterine bleeding that occurs outside the regular menstrual cycle. It can manifest as heavy or prolonged menstrual periods, irregular cycles, or bleeding between periods. DUB is often caused by hormonal imbalances, affecting the normal shedding of the uterine lining.
What are the common Causes of Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding?
Hormonal Imbalances: Fluctuations in estrogen and progesterone levels, common in puberty, perimenopause, and certain medical conditions, can lead to DUB.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): An endocrine disorder causing hormone imbalances, which can result in irregular and heavy periods.
Uterine Fibroids: Non-cancerous growths in the uterus can cause abnormal bleeding and longer periods.
Endometrial Polyps: Small growths in the uterine lining can lead to irregular bleeding.
Thyroid Disorders: Thyroid imbalances, such as hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, can impact menstrual regularity.
Recognizing the Symptoms:
Heavy Menstrual Bleeding: Menstrual periods that are excessively heavy and may require frequent changing of pads or tampons.
Irregular Menstrual Cycles: Menstrual cycles that are shorter than 21 days or longer than 35 days.
Bleeding Between Periods: Unexpected bleeding or spotting between menstrual cycles.
Prolonged Menstrual Periods: Menstrual periods lasting longer than a week.
What are the treatment options?
The treatment for DUB depends on the underlying cause and the severity of symptoms. Treatment options include:
Hormonal Therapy: Birth control pills or hormone therapy to regulate menstrual cycles.
Lifestyle Modifications: Stress management, regular exercise, and maintaining a healthy weight.
Minimally Invasive Procedures: Procedures like endometrial ablation or hysteroscopy to remove or treat abnormal uterine tissue.
Surgery: In some cases, surgical interventions may be necessary to address underlying issues like fibroids or polyps.
