DUB: Dysfunctional uterine bleeding defines several patterns of irregular menstrual timing/flow or amount. This is one group of problems that led to the initial research on what became the BC pill. Using predictable external hormones can pace the pattern &amp; make it more manageable. I would seek out a consult with an OBGYN so they can help you sort it out.
