What is Heavy Menstrual Bleeding?
Heavy menstrual bleeding is a condition characterized by excessive menstrual flow that interferes with a woman’s physical, emotional, and social quality of life. It may involve bleeding for more than seven days, needing to change pads or tampons every one to two hours, passing large blood clots regularly, and experiencing fatigue, dizziness, or anemia due to blood loss, often disrupting daily activities or sleep. If left untreated, heavy menstrual bleeding can lead to iron deficiency, recurrent illness, and significant disruption in everyday life.
Diagnosing Heavy Menstrual Bleeding
Effective treatment begins with accurate diagnosis. Under Dr. Agarwal’s guidance, the diagnostic process may include:
Medical history & physical examination
reviewing menstrual pattern, general health, any bleeding disorders.
Blood Tests
to assess hemoglobin, iron levels, thyroid function, coagulation profile.
Ultrasound imaging
to detect fibroids, adenomyosis, ovarian cysts, endometrial thickness.
Hysteroscopy
direct visualization of the uterine cavity to identify polyps or structural abnormalities.
Treatment Options
Treatment is personalized based on the cause, severity, future family goals, and overall health. Dr. Anshu Agarwal offers the following:
