Heavy Menstrual Bleeding

At Sur, we understand that heavy menstrual bleeding, or menorrhagia, is more than just a physical condition; it’s an issue that can profoundly affect your daily life and well-being. We’re committed to providing a thorough understanding, diagnosis, and treatment to manage and alleviate this often-debilitating condition.

Understanding Heavy Menstrual Bleeding

What Constitutes Heavy Periods?

Heavy menstrual bleeding can significantly disrupt your life. You might consider your periods abnormally heavy if you:

Frequently change sanitary products every 1-2 hours
Use multiple sanitary products simultaneously
Experience periods that extend beyond a week
Pass blood clots larger than a 10p coin
Bleed through clothing or bedding
Find your daily activities or work impacted
Feel exceptionally fatigued or short of breath

It’s important to recognize that while heavy periods can be normal, they might also signal underlying health issues. Factors like life stage, post-pregnancy changes, or menopause can also influence menstrual flow.

Potential Causes of Heavy Periods

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
Uterine fibroids
Endometriosis
Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
Certain medications, including anticoagulants and chemotherapy
Stress and depression.

Diagnosing Heavy Menstrual Bleeding

To determine the cause, we may recommend:

Blood Tests: For anaemia, thyroid issues, or clotting disorders.
Pap Smear: To evaluate cervical cells.
Endometrial Biopsy: Sampling tissue from your uterus.
Ultrasound: Imaging of your uterus, ovaries, and pelvis.
Further testing could include:
Colposcopy: Detailed examination of your cervix and vagina.
Hysteroscopy: Close inspection of your uterus.
Sonohysterography: Fluid-enhanced ultrasound for uterine lining assessment.

Next Steps in Your Journey

Should further tests be necessary, we will guide you through the process, ensuring you understand each step and what to expect. Identifying the cause is crucial in effectively treating heavy menstrual bleeding.
