1. Hormonal Imbalances: Irregularities in hormones like estrogen and progesterone can disrupt the menstrual cycle.
2. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): This endocrine disorder can cause irregular ovulation and menstrual cycles.
3. Uterine Fibroids and Polyps: Non-cancerous growths in the uterus can lead to abnormal bleeding.
4. Endometriosis: When uterine lining grows outside the uterus, it can cause irregular bleeding.
5. Anovulation: Lack of ovulation can result in irregular or absent periods.
6. Stress and Lifestyle Factors: High stress, significant weight changes, and excessive exercise can affect menstrual cycles.
7. Medications: Certain medications, including hormonal birth control and blood thinners, can cause abnormal bleeding.
8. Thyroid Disorders: Both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism can impact menstrual cycles.
9. Infections: Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and other infections can cause abnormal bleeding.
10. Bleeding Disorders: Conditions that affect blood clotting can lead to heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding.
It’s important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the specific cause and appropriate treatment for DUB.
