Consultant Gynaecologist for Menorrhagia and Hormonal Disorders
Heavy vaginal bleeding (clinically known as menorrhagia) is defined as menstrual periods that are so heavy or prolonged that they disrupt your daily life. While "heavy" is subjective, the NHS suggests that you may have menorrhagia if you need to change your sanitary products every hour, wake up during the night to change them, or pass blood clots larger than a 10p coin. Beyond the physical discomfort, chronic heavy bleeding can lead to anaemia, causing persistent fatigue, shortness of breath, and a reduced quality of life.
There are many potential causes for heavy periods, and a formal diagnosis is the first step toward effective treatment. Common underlying conditions include:
Uterine Fibroids: Non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the womb.
Endometrial Polyps: Small growths in the lining of the womb.
Hormonal Imbalances: Often related to the menopause or Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).
Adenomyosis: Where the lining of the womb grows into the muscular wall of the uterus.
