Women’s Health: Abnormal Bleeding

What is Abnormal Bleeding?

Abnormal bleeding is a common issue seen in gynecology offices and can affect women of all ages.

This type of bleeding encompasses any irregularities in the menstrual cycle, such as periods that are excessively heavy, too frequent, or too infrequent. The period around menopause can also significantly disrupt a woman’s bleeding patterns.

What Causes Abnormal Bleeding?

In addition to hormonal factors, structural causes like uterine polyps or fibroid tumors can lead to abnormal bleeding. In rare cases, infection or cancer may be the underlying reason.

Though the causes are diverse, there are numerous options available to manage these issues. Through comprehensive testing and patient education on your body, your healthcare provider will guide you through the available choices and help you determine the best course of action.
