Understanding this area of care
A clear overview to help you know what to expect before your consultation.
Menstrual health reflects the interplay of hormones, uterine lining, and sometimes structural conditions in the pelvis. Problems may present as heavy bleeding (menorrhagia), painful periods (dysmenorrhoea), irregular cycles, bleeding between periods, or absence of periods (amenorrhoea). Evaluation includes menstrual history, examination, and investigations such as blood tests for anemia and thyroid function, and pelvic ultrasound. Treatment ranges from simple pain relief and iron supplementation to hormonal regulation or surgical options for structural causes like fibroids or polyps.
Symptoms & concerns
Common patterns women describe — though every experience is individual.
- Heavy bleeding soaking through protection in an hour or two
- Severe cramping pain before or during periods
- Cycles shorter than 21 days or longer than 35 days
- Bleeding or spotting between regular periods
- Missing periods for three or more months (when not pregnant)
- Fatigue or dizziness during or after periods
Possible causes & context
Helpful background — a consultation helps clarify what applies to you.
- Hormonal imbalance affecting ovulation and lining shedding
- Fibroids, polyps, or adenomyosis in the uterus
- PCOS or thyroid disorders
- Endometriosis causing painful periods
- Bleeding disorders or anticoagulant medication (less common)
- Perimenopause in women in their 40s and 50s
When should you seek care?
If any of the following apply, it is worth arranging a consultation.
- Period pain prevents normal activities despite over-the-counter pain relief
- Bleeding is heavy enough to cause anemia symptoms such as fatigue
- Your cycle pattern has changed significantly from your usual
- You bleed between periods or after intercourse
- Periods have stopped and pregnancy has been excluded
What a consultation may involve
Every visit is tailored — this is a general guide to what may be discussed.
Detailed menstrual diary review — cycle length, flow, and pain
Assessment for anemia and its symptoms
Abdominal and pelvic examination
Pelvic ultrasound when structural causes are suspected
Blood tests for hormones, thyroid, and iron studies when indicated
Individualised treatment plan aligned with your symptoms and fertility plans
Treatment & management overview
Options depend on your history, examination findings, and preferences.
NSAIDs and tranexamic acid help many women with pain and heavy bleeding. Hormonal contraception regulates cycles and reduces flow. Structural causes may need hysteroscopic polyp removal, Mirena insertion, or surgery for fibroids when medical options are insufficient.
Frequently asked questions
Clear answers to common questions — for personal advice, please book a consultation.
How much bleeding is considered normal during a period?
How much bleeding is considered normal during a period?
Normal blood loss is roughly 30–80 ml over three to seven days. Soaking through a pad or tampon every one to two hours, passing large clots, or bleeding longer than a week suggests heavier-than-normal flow worth evaluating.
Are painful periods always normal?
Are painful periods always normal?
Mild cramping is common, but pain that regularly limits activities, requires strong painkillers, or worsens over time may indicate endometriosis, adenomyosis, or fibroids and deserves investigation.
Can stress cause period problems?
Can stress cause period problems?
Significant stress, weight change, and intense exercise can disrupt ovulation and alter bleeding patterns. However, persistent changes should be evaluated to exclude underlying hormonal or structural causes.
Will I need a hysterectomy for heavy periods?
Will I need a hysterectomy for heavy periods?
Hysterectomy is reserved for cases where other treatments have failed or when there is a clear structural indication. Most heavy bleeding is managed with medication or less invasive procedures first.
