Abnormal Period: Symptoms, Causes, Risk Factor, and Treatment
Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) affects 14% to 25% of women of childbearing age. Symptoms include unexpected periods, heavy or prolonged bleeding, scanty periods, significant blood loss, intermenstrual bleeding, and severe cramps. Causes range from hormonal imbalances, infections, fibroids, polyps, to serious conditions like cancer. Risk factors include pregnancy, hormonal IUDs, PCOS, and infections. Diagnosis involves a combination of medical history, physical exams, cervical screening, blood tests, and ultrasonography. Treatments vary based on the underlying cause and may include medication, D&C, surgery, or hysterectomy. Consult a doctor if you miss three or more periods annually, have excessively heavy or prolonged bleeding, or experience severe cramps. Rotunda IVF offers comprehensive care and treatment for AUB to help manage and regulate menstrual cycles.
