Dr. Kavitha Kovi, HOD - Obstetrics and Gynecology at Aster Women & Children Hospital, discusses abnormal uterine bleeding, which is any bleeding that is different from a woman's normal menstrual cycle. This can include bleeding that is heavier, lighter, more frequent, or less frequent than usual. It can also include bleeding that occurs between periods or after menopause.
Causes of Abnormal Uterine Bleeding
Abnormal uterine bleeding can be caused by a variety of factors, including hormonal imbalances, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). In some cases, it can also be a sign of an underlying medical condition, such as thyroid disease or liver disease.
If you are experiencing abnormal uterine bleeding, it is important to see your doctor to rule out any serious underlying conditions. Your doctor will be able to perform a physical exam and order tests to determine the cause of your bleeding.
Treatment for Abnormal Uterine Bleeding
Once the cause of your bleeding has been identified, your doctor can recommend treatment options. Treatment options may include lifestyle changes, medications, or surgery.
