Abnormal uterine bleeding may be caused by emotional factors, medications, endometritis, cervicitis, endometrial polyps, etc. It is important to seek timely medical attention at a hospital and follow the doctor's instructions for improvement through general management, medication, surgical treatment, and other methods.

Abnormal uterine bleeding may be caused by emotional factors, medications, endometritis, cervicitis, endometrial polyps, etc. It is important to seek timely medical evaluation and follow medical advice for improvement through general management, medication, surgical treatment, or other appropriate methods. Specific causes are analyzed as follows:
1. Emotional factors: Prolonged anxiety, stress, and similar emotional states may lead to hormonal imbalances, resulting in abnormal uterine bleeding. It is recommended to manage emotions using appropriate techniques such as deep breathing exercises or physical activity.
2. Medication factors: Taking contraceptive pills can interfere with the body's hormonal balance, leading to transient episodes of uterine bleeding. Medications should be taken strictly as prescribed; self-medication should be avoided to prevent adverse reactions.
3. Endometritis: This condition is usually associated with bacterial infection. Inflammation may cause congestion, edema, and necrosis of the endometrium, leading to abnormal uterine bleeding, often accompanied by symptoms such as lower abdominal pain and menstrual irregularities. It is recommended to follow medical guidance and use medications such as Fule Tablets, Jingangteng Capsules, or Tinidazole Capsules to relieve symptoms.
4. Cervicitis: Cervicitis is an inflammation of the cervix, typically caused by pathogenic infections. Common symptoms include pain during intercourse, urgency, and frequent urination. Abnormal uterine bleeding may also occur due to inflammatory stimulation. Under a doctor’s supervision, medications such as Amoxicillin Capsules, Kangfu Anti-inflammatory Suppositories, or Gongyanping Tablets may be used to alleviate symptoms.
5. Endometrial polyps: These are growths resulting from excessive localized proliferation of the endometrium, often related to endocrine disorders. Common clinical manifestations include irregular vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain. In severe cases, treatment may involve hysteroscopic endometrial resection performed by a qualified physician.
During treatment, attention should be paid to diet, focusing on light and easily digestible foods such as egg custard and milk.
