It can be classified as ovulatory or anovulatory, depending on whether ovulation is occurring or not.
- Uterine bleeding is deemed abnormal when there is an irregular amount or an irregular pattern of bleeding.
- Menometrorrhagia: Excessive and irregular bleeding between cycles and during menstruation
- Metrorrhagia: Irregular and more frequent bleeding
- Menorrhagia: Excessive, but regular bleeding
Ovulatory
Ovulatory DUB happens with the involvement of ovulation, and may represent a possible endocrine dysfunction, resulting in menorrhagia or metrorrhagia. Mid-cycle bleeding may indicate a transient estrogen decline, while late-cycle bleeding may indicate progesterone deficiency.
Anovulatory
Anovulatory cycle DUB happens without the involvement of ovulation. The etiology can be psychological stress, weight (obesity, anorexia, or a rapid change), exercise, endocrinopathy, neoplasm, drugs, or it may be otherwise idiopathic.
