Abnormal Bleeding

Abnormal bleeding between menstrual periods: What is it and why does it happen?
There are many causes for this. Sudden disruptions in one’s lifestyle, stress, hormonal changes, fibroids, endometriosis, and contraceptives can all be probable factors. In case you are experiencing abnormal fluctuations, we recommend that you see a gynaecologist immediately.

While occasional spotting can sometimes be harmless, bleeding that is heavy, prolonged, or accompanied by pain, dizziness, or unusual discharge should never be ignored. A gynaecologist can help identify the underlying cause through a physical examination, ultrasound, or blood tests, depending on what your symptoms suggest.

Early evaluation is especially important if you are trying to conceive, are pregnant, or have recently missed a period, as abnormal bleeding can sometimes point to conditions that need timely management. Keeping track of when the bleeding occurs, how long it lasts, and its severity can also help your doctor reach a diagnosis faster and recommend the right course of action for you.
