Recently, the number of women visiting hospitals has been increasing due to abnormal uterine bleeding.

Abnormal uterine bleeding shows symptoms such as bleeding or excessive menstrual bleeding when it is not the menstrual period. Appropriate diagnosis and treatment are essential because this can significantly reduce women's quality of life and suggest serious health problems.

The causes of abnormal uterine bleeding vary. One of the most common causes is hormonal imbalance, and factors such as stress, fatigue, and diet can cause hormonal balance to collapse.



In addition, irregular bleeding can occur as hormones change while taking contraceptive pills, and abnormal uterine bleeding can occur if there are intrauterine problems such as myoma, endometriosis, and cervical cancer.

If there is an abnormal uterine bleeding, it is essential to undergo an obstetric examination and examination to accurately identify the causes. Depending on the symptoms, hormone tests, ultrasound tests, and cervical cell tests can be performed.



Treatment methods for abnormal uterine bleeding can be largely divided into non-surgical treatment and surgical treatment.

Non-surgical treatment is hormone therapy, which is a treatment method to reduce bleeding by controlling hormones. In addition, bleeding can be managed with anti-inflammatory drugs or hemostatic agents.



As a surgical treatment method, it depends on the patient's diagnosis.

The prevention and management that women with abnormal uterine bleeding can practice in their daily lives is ▲ regular lifestyle ▲ stress management ▲ healthy eating habits, ▲ regular obstetric counseling when taking contraceptives, and it is most important to detect and treat problems early through regular checkups.

Lee Eun-hyun, head of the obstetrics and gynecology department at Good Culture Hospital, advised, `It is important to detect abnormal uterine bleeding early and treat it properly because it not only interferes with women's daily lives but can lead to serious health problems.' `Since irregular bleeding also includes serious diseases, you must not ignore symptoms and seek medical treatment and examination from an obstetrician.'
