Understanding this area of care

A clear overview to help you know what to expect before your consultation.

Heavy menstrual bleeding may relate to hormonal imbalance, fibroids, adenomyosis, bleeding disorders, or other uterine conditions. The goal of consultation is to understand severity, check for anemia, and plan care that fits your symptoms and reproductive plans.

Symptoms & concerns

Common patterns women describe — though every experience is individual.

  • Soaking through pads or tampons quickly
  • Bleeding lasting more than seven days
  • Passing large clots
  • Fatigue or breathlessness suggesting anemia
  • Periods that limit work, travel, or daily activities

Possible causes & context

Helpful background — a consultation helps clarify what applies to you.

  • Hormonal imbalance affecting the uterine lining
  • Fibroids or polyps
  • Adenomyosis
  • Bleeding or clotting disorders (less common)
  • Certain medications or intrauterine devices

When should you seek care?

If any of the following apply, it is worth arranging a consultation.

  • Bleeding is heavy enough to disrupt daily life
  • You feel dizzy, very tired, or short of breath during periods
  • Bleeding lasts longer than a week
  • You need to change protection very frequently
  • Heavy bleeding has worsened recently

What a consultation may involve

Every visit is tailored — this is a general guide to what may be discussed.

  1. History of bleeding pattern and impact on daily life

  2. Assessment for anemia symptoms

  3. Examination and pelvic assessment when appropriate

  4. Ultrasound or blood tests if clinically indicated

  5. Discussion of medical and procedural options where relevant

Treatment & management overview

Options depend on your history, examination findings, and preferences.

Treatment may include iron support if anemia is present, hormonal medication, or evaluation for structural causes such as fibroids. Surgical options are discussed only when clinically appropriate and aligned with your preferences.

Frequently asked questions

Clear answers to common questions — for personal advice, please book a consultation.

How do I know if my periods are too heavy?

Signs include soaking through protection quickly, bleeding longer than about seven days, large clots, or fatigue. If you are unsure, a consultation can help quantify whether bleeding is medically heavy.

Can fibroids cause heavy periods?

Fibroids can contribute to heavier or prolonged bleeding for some women. Not all fibroids cause symptoms; evaluation helps determine whether they are relevant to your bleeding pattern.

Can heavy periods cause anemia?

Yes. Repeated heavy bleeding can lower hemoglobin over time. Iron levels and symptoms such as fatigue may be checked during assessment.

Consultation is available from nearby neighbourhoods across North Bangalore — without separate clinic addresses in every area.
