WHAT IS DUB

Dysfunctional uterine Bleeding is used to describe abnormal bleeding in the uterus for which there is no obvious cause. DUB’s abnormal bleeding is caused by disturbances in ovary hormone production. Symptoms are typical. Continuous, painless vaginal bleeding is the most common complaint. Anemia can be caused by excessive bleeding. Research suggests that while medications are important in treatment, diet is also a key factor in recovery from continual uterine bleeding and weakness.
