About the disease & condition

Abnormal uterine bleeding is menstrual bleeding that is unusually heavy, prolonged, or irregular. It can occur at any age and may significantly impact daily life. Common causes include fibroids, polyps, adenomyosis, ovulatory dysfunction, and coagulation disorders. Early diagnosis is essential to rule out serious conditions like malignancy and to prevent complications such as iron-deficiency anemia. Evaluation includes blood tests, imaging, and sometimes endometrial biopsy. Management focuses on treating the underlying cause and regulating menstrual cycles with medication or procedures.

Known Symptoms

Excessive menstrual bleeding often accompanied by large blood clots.
Prolonged periods lasting more than seven days regularly.
Fatigue and dizziness resulting from chronic blood loss.
Irregular or unpredictable menstrual cycles affecting normal routine.

Known Causes

Uterine fibroids, polyps, or adenomyosis causing abnormal bleeding.
Ovulatory dysfunction leading to irregular or absent ovulation.
Coagulation disorders affecting the body’s normal blood clotting.
Hormonal imbalances or systemic medical conditions contributing.

Care

Seek early evaluation for heavy or irregular menstrual bleeding.
Use iron supplements to prevent or treat blood loss anemia.
Use hormonal therapy or intrauterine devices to regulate cycles.
Follow medical advice for underlying structural or hormonal issues.
