The normal balance of sex hormones in the body of a woman plays a key role in regulating the menstrual cycle. Violation of the amount or ratio of these hormones in the body leads to the appearance of uterine bleeding . More details about the causes and treatment of uterine bleeding during hormonal failure, we will talk in our article.
Causes of hormonal disorders in women
There are a number of reasons for the imbalance of sex hormones in a woman's body. They include:
- violation of the regulation of the production of sex hormones in the brain (pathology of the pituitary leads to a violation of the production of releasing hormones);
- pathology of the sex glands themselves, which directly release hormones (inflammatory diseases of the ovaries, tumors, cysts);
- such pathological conditions as the syndrome of chronic fatigue, exhaustion of the body (starvation, severe long-term disease);
- critical periods for the female body are the period of puberty, the postpartum period, pre-menopausal and post-abortion period - all these periods provoke hormonal disorders;
- In the emergence of hormonal bleeding, an important role is played by hereditary predisposition;
- bleeding after hormonal tablets are in women who start taking birth control pills: in such cases, the body begins to get used to a new level of hormones and reacts with intermenstrual spotting spotting;
- prolonged uterine bleeding can occur after taking medication abortion tablets (abortion).
The management of patients with hormonal bleeding
When you go to a doctor, women with bleeding in each individual case will have an individual trip. A woman with intermenstrual uterine bleeding will be offered a procedure for treatment and diagnostic curettage of the uterine cavity. A teenage girl will not be offered such treatment. In this case, they can assign tests to determine the level of hormones and prescribe hormone tablets. After a medical abortion, a woman should be warned that her normal menstrual cycle will not be restored until 6 months later.
Thus, the problem of hormonal uterine bleeding is relevant for young girls, women of reproductive age and women who entered the pre-menopausal period. Treatment of hormonal disorders in each case should be decided by a specialist individually.
