📋Overview
Dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) is a legacy term historically used to describe abnormal uterine bleeding without an identifiable organic cause. The modern preferred term is abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB), specifically AUB due to ovulatory dysfunction (AUB-O). This condition involves irregular, heavy, or prolonged menstrual bleeding resulting from hormonal imbalances affecting the menstrual cycle, rather than structural abnormalities or systemic disease.
