The simple definition of Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (AUB) is a condition that results in uterine bleeding outside the normal volume, duration, regularity or frequency.
AUB is much more complicated than just blood flow during the menstrual cycle.
It’s a condition with a variety of causes and symptoms. It can turn your period cycle upside down, and no two women have the same experience.
So, yeah. AUB is a beast.
