Diseases presenting with [[dysfunctional uterine bleeding]] have a multitude of risk factors. Some that are commonly found in multiple conditions include those where [[estrogen]] exposure is uncontrolled and excessive. Some examples include early onset of [[menarche]] and late onset of [[menopause]], [[obesity]], [[Anovulation|anovulatory]] conditions such as [[PCOS]], estrogen exclusive hormonal contraceptives and [[tamoxifen]] therapy for [[breast cancer]]. It is to be notes that [[smoking]] has actually resulted in a reduced risk of some disease, due to its anti-estrogenic causes. The efficacy of smoking in preventing DUB is questionable considering the multitude of other diseases such a behavioural activity results in. Although some conditions affected women of all ages, [[adenomyosis]] and [[Endometrial cancer|malignancy]] were found to affect older woman. | |||

Overview
Diseases presenting with dysfunctional uterine bleeding have a multitude of risk factors. Some that are commonly found in multiple conditions include those where estrogen exposure is uncontrolled and excessive. Some examples include early onset of menarche and late onset of menopause, obesity, anovulatory conditions such as PCOS, estrogen exclusive hormonal contraceptives and tamoxifen therapy for breast cancer. It is to be notes that smoking has actually resulted in a reduced risk of some disease, due to its anti-estrogenic causes. The efficacy of smoking in preventing DUB is questionable considering the multitude of other diseases such a behavioural activity results in. Although some conditions affected women of all ages, adenomyosis and malignancy were found to affect older woman.
Risk Factors
Dysfunctional uterine bleeding may be due to many various diseases and although many have similar risk factors, it may be helpful to understand them individually based on the underlying cause.
| Condition causing DUB | Risk Factors |
|---|---|
| Polyps |
|
| Adenomyosis[1][2] |
|
| Leiomyoma[3] |
|
| Malignancy and hyperplasia[4][5] |
|
| Coagulopathies |
|
| Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome |
|
| Endometrial disorders (Endometriosis) |
