Do not confuse uterine bleeding with menstruation, although they are similar. Uterine bleeding is characterized by the fact that it is more prolonged and abundant, and also has no regular character. The cause may be uterine myoma, various tumors (benign and malignant), diseases of the uterus and appendages. Sometimes uterine bleeding occurs as a complication of pregnancy and childbirth.
In addition, bleeding can be associated with hormonal disorders, when the development of hormones that affect the sexual organs, one way or another does not correspond to the norm. Even more rarely uterine bleeding occurs for reasons not directly associated with the genitals. For example, it may be a violation of the integrity of the liver or in the case of Willebrand disease (problems with blood coagulability).
