The appearance of uterine bleeding in women of any age is not a normal phenomenon, requiring medical intervention, since it indicates the development of the pathological process. In particular, this applies to juvenile uterine bleeding in adolescent girls.
Juvenile bleeding - the essence and causes
At the age of 18, which is the period of puberty, many girls face the problem of juvenile bleeding. This pathology occurs due to the violation of the menstrual cycle in connection with hormonal imbalance . But, in addition to dysfunction of the ovaries, juvenile bleeding can be the result of other diseases, such as:
- pathological deviations in the development of genital organs;
- hypovitaminosis - lack of useful substances, vitamins and minerals, usually occurs in the winter-spring period or in the absence of adequate nutrition;
- stressful situations, as well as physical overwork;
- complications after the transferred infectious diseases.
Juvenile or, as they are called, pubertal uterine bleeding in adolescents may occur during different periods of the menstrual cycle, they are often confused with the actual menstruation. In this case, the girl should be alerted to the increased amount of blood lost. However, most often bleeding does not coincide with monthly bleeding, can begin at the beginning or end of the cycle, which is noticeably knocked down.
The nature of juvenile bleeding depends on many factors, in the first place, on the cause. There are abundant and short-lived juvenile bleedings, which suddenly start and finish quickly, lead to large blood loss and require urgent treatment. Or long, in some cases, the duration reaches several months, but not so abundant. Also lead to anemia and other unpleasant consequences.
It is obvious that the appearance of juvenile bleeding should not be left without due attention, since it indicates violations of sexual function and in the future may negatively affect the reproductive health of the girl.
