Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Dysfunctional uterine bleeding is abnormal bleeding from the uterus that is not explained by an obvious structural cause and is usually related to hormonal imbalances of the menstrual cycle. It can present as very heavy, prolonged, or irregular periods.
How it may present:
- Periods that are longer or heavier than usual
- Bleeding between periods or irregular cycles
- Fatigue associated with blood loss
When is an evaluation advisable? If the bleeding disrupts daily life, becomes very heavy, or changes in pattern, an evaluation helps clarify its source.
Which specialist treats it? The gynecologist is the one who assesses the cycle, rules out other causes, and guides follow-up. Seeing a professional promptly helps protect your well-being and answer questions with peace of mind.
