A member asked:
I had my period for 15 days. they told me it was dysfunctional uterine bleeding (dub). how common is this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
DUB NEEDS EVAL: DUB is relatively common but needs an eval. Blood work including thyroid and hormonal studies. Also an abdominal and pelvic ultrasound to evaluate for fibroids and adenomyosis. You also need to be screened for anemia and may benefit from iron supplements
