DUB: Dysfunctional uterine bleeding is related to abnormal changes in hormone levels. I presume you are not pregnant and not on contraceptives; check a pregnancy test if this is possible.The bleeding is likely caused by some unexpected variations in your body's hormones as well as stress, illness, sleep disruption, etc. Your doctor can work with you to regulate, usually with oral contraceptives.
