Abnormal Bleeding

Understanding Abnormal Bleeding

Abnormal uterine bleeding refers to any irregular bleeding from the uterus that differs from a normal menstrual cycle. It can occur at any age and may indicate underlying health issues that require medical attention. Understanding the causes, symptoms, and treatment options is crucial for maintaining gynecological health.

Common Symptoms of Abnormal Bleeding

• Heavy Menstrual Bleeding: Excessive or prolonged bleeding during menstruation, requiring frequent changes of sanitary products.
• Irregular Menstrual Cycles: Menstrual cycles that are shorter or longer than usual, or irregular bleeding between periods.
• Bleeding After Menopause: Any vaginal bleeding that occurs after menopause should be evaluated promptly by a healthcare provider.

Treatment Options for Abnormal Bleeding

• Medications: Hormonal therapies, such as birth control pills or intrauterine devices (IUDs), may help regulate menstrual cycles and reduce bleeding.
• Minimally Invasive Procedures: Procedures such as endometrial ablation or hysteroscopy can treat underlying causes of abnormal bleeding, such as uterine fibroids or polyps.
• Surgical Intervention: In some cases, surgical procedures such as hysterectomy may be recommended to address severe or recurrent abnormal bleeding.
