When it comes to functional uterine bleeding, many people may not have heard of it. It is the abbreviation of dysfunctional uterine bleeding, which is mainly caused by irregular menstruation and is very harmful to women's health. Therefore, if women have functional uterine bleeding, they must seek medical treatment as soon as possible.

What is functional bleeding

Dysfunctional uterine bleeding, also known as functional uterine bleeding or DUB, is caused by neuroendocrine disorders, rather than pregnancy, endometrial tumors, infection or blood diseases. It often occurs during adolescence and is called anovulatory functional uterine bleeding, also known as adolescent functional uterine bleeding.

Normal menstruation in women depends on the regulation of the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis system. Internal and external factors such as excessive mental stress, changes in environment and climate, malnutrition or metabolic disorders can interfere with the regulatory function of the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian axis through the cerebral cortex, leading to abnormal secretion of sex hormones, causing acyclic shedding of the endometrium and dysfunctional uterine bleeding.
