Menstrual Health Assessment

Common Causes of Heavy Menstrual Bleeding

Heavy menstrual bleeding may have several possible causes. A consultation with a gynaecologist helps determine which investigations and treatment options are appropriate for your circumstances.

01

Hormonal Imbalances

Changes in ovulation and hormone levels may affect the menstrual cycle and contribute to heavy or irregular bleeding.

02

Uterine Fibroids

Fibroids are non-cancerous growths in or around the uterus. Depending on their location and size, they may contribute to heavy periods.

03

Adenomyosis

Adenomyosis can be associated with painful periods, heavy bleeding and uterine tenderness in some women.

04

Endometrial Polyps

Growths in the uterine lining may contribute to heavy periods or bleeding between menstrual cycles.

05

Ovulation Problems and PCOS

Conditions that affect ovulation may cause irregular cycles and changes in the pattern of uterine bleeding.

06

Other Medical Causes

Thyroid disorders, bleeding disorders, certain medicines and other conditions may contribute to abnormal menstrual bleeding.

Your Consultation

How Heavy Menstrual Bleeding Is Evaluated

The evaluation for heavy menstrual bleeding treatment in Chennai is tailored to your symptoms and medical history. Not every patient needs every test; investigations are selected according to clinical findings.

1. Symptom Review

Discuss your cycle length, bleeding duration, flow, pain, previous treatments and other health concerns.

2. Clinical Assessment

A gynaecological assessment is planned according to your symptoms, preferences and medical history.

3. Investigations

Depending on the findings, tests may include a blood count, selected blood tests or pelvic ultrasound.

4. Care Plan

Your clinician discusses suitable treatment choices, expected benefits, possible risks and follow-up needs.

Personalised Treatment Options

Heavy Menstrual Bleeding Treatment Options

The best approach depends on the cause of the bleeding, symptom severity, age, medical history and personal preferences. Treatment recommendations are made after an appropriate clinical assessment.

Medical Management

Depending on your clinical situation, treatment may include medicines to reduce menstrual blood loss, hormonal treatment or other appropriate medication. A clinician may also assess and treat iron deficiency or anaemia when present.

Possible approaches

  • Non-hormonal medicines when clinically appropriate
  • Hormonal treatment options after reviewing suitability
  • Iron supplementation when indicated
  • Monitoring symptoms and response to treatment

Procedures and Surgical Options

When a structural condition is identified, or medical treatment is unsuitable or ineffective, a procedure may be considered. The recommended option depends on the diagnosis and the patient's goals.

Options may include

  • Hysteroscopy for selected uterine cavity conditions
  • Treatment of relevant uterine polyps or fibroids
  • Other procedures when clinically indicated
  • Specialist discussion of benefits, risks and alternatives

No single treatment is suitable for everyone. Your heavy menstrual bleeding treatment plan should be based on the underlying cause, medical suitability and informed discussion with your gynaecologist.
