What counts as abnormal uterine bleeding
Abnormal uterine bleeding can include periods that are heavier or longer than usual, bleeding between periods, periods that occur more often than every 21 days or less often than every 35 days, or any bleeding after menopause. What's “normal” varies between individuals, so a change from your own typical pattern is often more meaningful than comparing to a general standard.
Possible causes
-
1
Hormonal imbalances
Including conditions like PCOS, thyroid dysfunction, or perimenopause.
-
2
Structural causes
Fibroids, polyps, or adenomyosis affecting the uterus.
-
3
Bleeding disorders
Certain clotting conditions can cause heavier or more prolonged bleeding.
-
4
Medication-related causes
Certain medications, including some contraceptives, can affect bleeding patterns.
-
5
Pregnancy-related causes
Including early pregnancy complications, which should always be ruled out.
-
6
In postmenopausal women
Bleeding after menopause always warrants evaluation, since it can, though doesn't always, indicate something requiring attention.
How abnormal uterine bleeding is evaluated
Evaluation typically starts with a detailed history of your bleeding pattern, a pelvic exam, and blood tests to check for hormonal imbalances or anemia. Imaging, usually ultrasound, is often used to look for structural causes like fibroids or polyps. Depending on what's found, further testing such as hysteroscopy may be recommended.
Treatment approaches, based on the cause
-
1
If a hormonal cause is found
Treating the underlying hormonal condition, or using hormonal medication to regulate bleeding directly.
-
2
If a structural cause is found
Treatment specific to what's found, such as removing a polyp or fibroid.
-
3
For heavy bleeding without a structural cause
Medication options can significantly reduce bleeding without surgery.
-
4
For postmenopausal bleeding
This always requires evaluation first, since the appropriate treatment depends entirely on the underlying cause.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about abnormal uterine bleeding.
What counts as abnormal uterine bleeding?
Periods that are heavier or longer than usual, bleeding between periods, cycles occurring more or less often than typical, or any bleeding after menopause.
Is bleeding between periods always a concern?
It's worth evaluating rather than ignoring — causes range from minor to more significant, and an evaluation helps identify what's actually happening in your specific case.
What causes abnormal uterine bleeding?
Hormonal imbalances, structural issues like fibroids or polyps, bleeding disorders, certain medications, pregnancy-related causes, and, in postmenopausal women, causes that always warrant evaluation.
Is postmenopausal bleeding serious?
It always warrants evaluation, since the underlying cause needs to be identified — this doesn't necessarily mean something serious, but it should never be assumed to be nothing.
What tests are done to investigate abnormal bleeding?
A detailed history, pelvic exam, blood tests, and usually an ultrasound — with further testing like hysteroscopy sometimes recommended depending on findings.
What does treatment for abnormal uterine bleeding cost at Prana Women & Fertility?
[PLACEHOLDER — to be confirmed by the client and added here before publishing.]
Can abnormal bleeding be treated without surgery?
Yes — many cases, particularly hormonal causes or heavy bleeding without a structural cause, can be managed effectively with medication.
When should I see a doctor about irregular bleeding?
If your bleeding pattern changes noticeably from what's typical for you, or if you experience any bleeding after menopause, it's worth seeking evaluation.
Can stress cause abnormal uterine bleeding?
Significant stress can sometimes affect menstrual regularity, though it's generally considered alongside, not instead of, a full evaluation for other possible causes.
Does abnormal bleeding always mean something is seriously wrong?
No — many causes are manageable and not serious, but evaluation is the only way to know what's actually causing the change in your specific case.
