Understanding Abnormal Uterine Bleeding

Abnormal uterine bleeding refers to any bleeding that differs from a woman's normal menstrual cycle. This can include heavy periods, prolonged bleeding, bleeding between periods, or bleeding after menopause. While some variations in menstrual cycles are normal, significant changes can indicate underlying health issues that require attention. Common causes of abnormal uterine bleeding include hormonal imbalances, uterine fibroids, polyps, endometriosis, and certain medical conditions. Stress, weight changes, and lifestyle factors can also contribute to irregular bleeding. Understanding the potential causes is essential for determining the appropriate course of action.

When to Worry

It’s important to know when to seek medical attention for abnormal uterine bleeding. You should consider making an appointment if you experience bleeding that lasts longer than seven days, soak through one or more sanitary pads or tampons every hour for several consecutive hours, or notice bleeding between periods or after sexual intercourse. Additionally, if you experience symptoms such as severe pain, dizziness, or fatigue accompanying the bleeding, these signs may indicate a more serious condition that requires evaluation and treatment.
