Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhang Jianhai
Adolescent dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) is a type of functional uterine bleeding primarily caused by immature development of endogenous estrogen levels and ovarian function. It commonly manifests as shortened menstrual cycles, irregular vaginal bleeding, and prolonged or persistent menstruation, and is a relatively common gynecological condition. Therefore, it is recommended to visit the obstetrics and gynecology department of a hospital for a uterine examination, followed by targeted oral medication prescribed by the physician based on the examination findings.
