Heavy menstrual bleeding

Heavy Menstrual Bleeding

Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB), medically known as menorrhagia, is a condition where menstrual periods are excessively heavy, prolonged, or both. This can significantly impact a woman’s physical health, emotional well-being, and day-to-day life. While occasional heavy bleeding may be normal, persistent or severe periods often indicate an underlying gynecological issue that requires expert evaluation. Untreated HMB can lead to anemia, fatigue, weakness, and limitations in personal, professional, and social activities.

At Dr. Sampath’s clinic, women receive comprehensive care for HMB, combining precise diagnosis, individualized treatment, and compassionate support to restore health and confidence. The clinic ensures each patient is evaluated thoroughly, addressing both the physical symptoms and the emotional challenges caused by heavy menstrual bleeding.

Common Causes of HMB

• Hormonal Imbalances: Irregularities in estrogen and progesterone levels affecting the menstrual cycle
• Uterine Fibroids: Noncancerous growths causing heavier or prolonged bleeding
• Adenomyosis: Thickening of the uterine walls leading to pain and excessive bleeding
• Polyps: Small growths in the uterine lining
• Blood Disorders & Thyroid Issues: Conditions affecting clotting and hormonal balance
• Medications: Certain drugs that influence coagulation or hormones
• Idiopathic Causes: In some cases, the precise reason remains unidentified
