About Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding

Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding (DUB) is a common gynecological condition characterized by abnormal, heavy, or irregular bleeding from the uterus not caused by underlying structural issues like fibroids or cancer. It is typically a diagnosis of exclusion, often linked to hormonal imbalances that disrupt the normal menstrual cycle. An Obstetrics and Gynaecologist will perform a thorough evaluation, including a detailed history, physical exam, and often diagnostic tests like ultrasound or endometrial biopsy, to rule out other causes. Management is tailored to the individual and may range from hormonal medications (like birth control pills or progesterone) to minimally invasive procedures like endometrial ablation or, in some cases, a hysterectomy. The goal is to regulate bleeding, relieve symptoms, and improve the patient's quality of life.
