Compare and contrast anovulatory bleeding versus dysfunctional uterine bleeding
What will be an ideal response?
Anovulatory bleeding is a type of dysfunctional uterine bleeding that typically occurs during the extremes of reproductive life, puberty and near menopause. It is a type of bleeding resulting from an abnormality in the proliferative-secretory sequence in the uterus characterized by continuous estrogen stimulation that is unopposed by progesterone. Without progesterone, which is produced by the corpus luteum following ovulation, the uterus does not undergo a secretory phase and but is subject to continuous shedding from the effect of estrogen.
