Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding
Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding (DUB) refers to abnormal bleeding from the uterus that is not caused by any identifiable medical condition, such as fibroids or hormonal imbalances. It often occurs due to irregularities in the menstrual cycle, leading to heavy, prolonged, or unpredictable bleeding patterns.
DUB can affect women of all ages, particularly during puberty and perimenopause. Diagnosis typically involves a thorough medical history, physical examination, and sometimes imaging tests. Treatment options may include hormonal therapies, lifestyle changes, or, in severe cases, surgical interventions to manage symptoms and restore normal menstrual function.
