Abnormal or Heavy Menstrual Bleeding

We may perform a gentle pelvic exam to check for changes in your uterus, cervix, and ovaries, and, if needed, collect lab work or order imaging such as an ultrasound. Your provider will explain each step and answer any questions along the way.

We’ll review your results together, discuss possible causes for your bleeding, and explain your treatment options in clear, supportive terms. Our goal is to create a personalized plan so you can find relief and feel like yourself again.

We may suggest a pelvic exam, blood tests, ultrasound imaging, hormone testing, or an endometrial biopsy—depending on your symptoms and history.

Yes. Hormonal methods like the pill, hormonal IUD, or injections can regulate cycles, reduce flow, and ease cramps for many women.

We can explore non-hormonal treatments like tranexamic acid, NSAIDs, dietary changes, iron supplementation, or minimally invasive procedures to manage bleeding.

If other treatments don’t work, we may recommend procedures like hysteroscopy (to remove polyps), myomectomy (to remove fibroids), endometrial ablation, or, in some cases, hysterectomy.

Most insurance plans cover medically necessary evaluations and treatments. We’ll help you understand your benefits and any possible costs before moving forward.

It depends on the cause and treatment. Some women see improvement within a month, while others may need more time and follow-up care.

If you have symptoms of severe blood loss—like dizziness, shortness of breath, or extreme fatigue—call your provider right away or seek urgent care. Your safety comes first.
