Functional uterine bleeding is not uncommon in clinical practice, and most cases of functional uterine bleeding can be cured. The cause of functional bleeding is primarily due to a disorder of various hormones in women, including estrogen and progesterone. Therefore, when a patient suspects functional uterine bleeding, it is necessary to conduct gynecological color Doppler ultrasound and sex hormone tests amongst others, to assess the levels of various hormones in the female endocrine system. Based on the different abnormal results, different treatment methods are selected. Generally, after hormonal adjustment, the hormone levels in most women will return to the normal range.

What to eat for functional uterine bleeding

Dysfunctional uterine bleeding cannot be treated with the same medication for everyone; it is crucial to consider the specific findings of medical examinations. If dysfunctional uterine bleeding has caused anemia, it is essential to start taking hematinics early. A few may need blood transfusion treatment and should also pay attention to a diet rich in iron and high in nutrients. Some cases of dysfunctional uterine bleeding can be treated with hormonal medications because it is originally caused by hormonal disorders in the body. The most commonly used treatment is short-acting contraceptives, but some cases of dysfunctional uterine bleeding require diagnostic curettage surgery.

What causes functional uterine bleeding?

Functional uterine bleeding is commonly seen in adolescence and menopause, primarily caused by the absence of normal ovulation. Without ovulation, there is no production of progesterone, leading to irregular vaginal bleeding or heavy bleeding under the influence of estrogen. The main treatment method is menstrual regulation. For adolescent girls, menstrual regulation and ovulation induction treatment are needed, as this is caused by abnormal development of the gonadal axis. Progesterone can be used for menstrual regulation. In menopausal women, menopausal functional uterine bleeding mostly results from abnormal ovulation, essentially due to a lack of progesterone, so treatment with progesterone can be applied. (Please use medication under the guidance of a doctor.)

Is functional uterine bleeding easy to treat?

Functional uterine bleeding is a common gynecological disease. The cause of functional uterine bleeding is relatively clear, so it is easier to treat clinically. Currently, oral hormonal drugs are widely used to treat functional uterine bleeding. Most patients have their endocrine disorders readjusted after taking oral hormonal drugs, returning to normal levels. After several courses of hormonal drug treatment, most women can recover and resume regular menstrual cycles.

What are the symptoms of functional uterine bleeding?

Functional uterine bleeding, clinically divided into ovulatory and anovulatory functional uterine bleeding, presents differently depending on the type. Typically, the clinical manifestation of anovulatory functional uterine bleeding includes prolonged menstrual dripping or heavy vaginal bleeding. In such cases, it is recommended that patients seek immediate medical attention at a local hospital for a clear diagnosis and timely treatment. Ovulatory uterine bleeding is often characterized by changes in the menstrual cycle; some women may experience a shortened cycle, while others may have an extended menstrual cycle.
