Diagnosis and Assessment
During an appointment for abnormal uterine bleeding treatment in Chennai, Dr. Shruthi Sreedhar can review your bleeding pattern, associated symptoms and medical history. Tests are selected according to your individual needs rather than being the same for every patient.
Your doctor may ask about cycle dates, bleeding duration, flow, pain, medications, previous conditions and family medical history.
An examination may be recommended based on your symptoms, age and medical circumstances. The doctor will explain what is appropriate.
Depending on the presentation, tests may include a blood count, selected hormone or thyroid tests, pelvic ultrasound or other investigations.
Some patients may need additional evaluation, such as hysteroscopy or endometrial sampling, depending on their age, symptoms and risk factors.
Treatment Options
Treatment is guided by the cause of the bleeding, its severity and your individual health needs. Options may include:
Not every patient needs a procedure. Your gynaecologist can explain the potential benefits, risks and alternatives of suitable options before a decision is made.
Many causes of abnormal bleeding can be managed, but the treatment plan depends on identifying the underlying issue. Some people may need medication and follow-up, while others may need further investigations or a procedure.
Seek emergency medical assessment if very heavy bleeding is accompanied by fainting, severe dizziness, chest pain or difficulty breathing. Sudden severe pelvic pain, especially when pregnancy is possible, also needs urgent assessment. Any bleeding after menopause should be evaluated promptly by a clinician.
If possible, record the dates of bleeding, the duration, how heavy the flow is and any associated pain. Bring a list of your medicines and previous relevant test results.
