Abnormal Uterine Bleeding
Abnormal uterine bleeding is vaginal bleeding originating from the uterus that can be described as abnormal based on frequency, irregularity, length, or heaviness of flow in comparison to a normal monthly period. Abnormal bleeding can present as heavy periods or prolonged bleeding, or it can present as bleeding that is irregular in timing, such periods that are too frequent. Some women have the opposite issue with too few periods or the complete absence of periods. Abnormal bleeding is usually either a structural issue or hormonal issue. Structural causes include fibroids, polyps, adenomyosis, or possibly a pre-cancer or cancer. Bleeding from hormonal issues can have a wide range of causes, as all 50+ hormones that our body makes can interact with each other and lead to issues when an imbalance occurs. Evaluation for abnormal bleeding typically consists of a detailed history and physical along with ultrasound imaging and laboratory testing.
