Fibroids are non-cancerous growths in the uterus, while adenomyosis occurs when tissue similar to the uterine lining grows into the muscle of the uterus.<\/span><\/p>\n Hormonal problems can also affect bleeding. Irregular ovulation may cause the uterine lining to become thicker and shed irregularly.<\/span><\/p>\n Conditions such as <\/span>PCOS and thyroid disorders<\/b>, bleeding disorders and some medicines can also contribute to abnormal bleeding.<\/span><\/p>\n Yes, repeated heavy bleeding can cause iron-deficiency anaemia because your body loses iron along with blood.<\/b><\/p>\n You may feel tired, weak or short of breath. Some women also notice dizziness, headaches, reduced concentration or a racing heartbeat.<\/span><\/p>\n These symptoms can develop gradually, so you may start thinking that you’re simply tired from work or daily responsibilities.<\/span><\/p>\n If heavy periods are affecting your energy or daily life, don’t wait until the symptoms become difficult to manage.<\/b> A blood test can help check whether anaemia is present.<\/span><\/p>\n You should arrange a gynaecology consultation if your periods are repeatedly heavy, last longer than 7 days, or are affecting your normal activities.<\/b><\/p>\n You should also be assessed if you have bleeding between periods, bleeding after sex, new heavy bleeding after years of normal cycles, or symptoms that suggest anaemia.<\/span><\/p>\n Sudden, extremely heavy bleeding needs prompt medical attention, especially if you’re feeling faint, dizzy, weak or short of breath.<\/span><\/p>\n Don’t try to measure the seriousness of bleeding only by the number of pads you use. Your symptoms and overall health matter too.<\/b><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=”one” _builder_version=”4.27.9″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”1.8em” header_font=”|700|||||||” header_4_font=”|700|||||||” header_4_text_color=”#e31c61″ header_4_font_size=”22px” header_4_line_height=”1.3em” custom_margin=”||30px||false|false” custom_padding=”||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n If your periods match this pattern, get it looked at rather than adjusting your life around it. <\/b>Book an Appointment with our Gynaecology Departmen<\/b><\/a>t at Shenoy Hospitals, Secunderabad, or <\/b>Call Now<\/b><\/a>.<\/b><\/p>\n Diagnosis usually begins with your menstrual history, medical history and examination, followed by tests based on your symptoms.<\/b><\/p>\n We may ask about when your periods start, how long they last, how often you change pads, whether you pass clots, and whether you have bleeding between periods.<\/span><\/p>\n A <\/span>complete blood count (CBC)<\/b> may be used to check for anaemia.
