Hello there, ladies. Do you have heavy menstrual bleeding? Today, we are here to tell you about the five most common causes of heavy menstrual bleeding.
Fluctuations in hormonal levels, particularly estrogen and progesterone, can disrupt the normal menstrual cycle and lead to heavy bleeding. These imbalances can be due to puberty, perimenopause, polycystic ovary syndrome, or even certain medications that you take.
Fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in the uterus. They can vary in size and location, including when they are large or near the uterine lining. They can cause heavy menstrual bleeding.
In adenomyosis, the tissue that lines the uterus grows into the muscular wall of the uterus. This can result in heavy, prolonged menstrual bleeding and severe menstrual cramps.
Certain blood disorders, such as von Willebrand disease or platelet function disorders, can interfere with the blood’s ability to clot properly, leading to heavy menstrual bleeding.
In some cases, heavy menstrual bleeding may be a sign of endometrial cancer, particularly in postmenopausal women. Other symptoms of endometrial cancer can include pelvic pain, abnormal vaginal bleeding between periods, or postmenopausal bleeding.
Remember, heavy menstrual bleeding is not normal. Don’t overlook it. It is important to talk to your gynecologist if you have heavy menstrual bleeding.
