Menstrual bleeding that lasts beyond the average 3-7 days of a normal menstrual cycle or bleeding between periods is considered abnormal bleeding. Additionally, you may experience abnormal bleeding as any of the following conditions:
While abnormal bleeding can occur at any age, it’s often more of a concern when hormones fluctuate the most during the teenage years and during perimenopause – the time leading up to menopause.
If bleeding is extremely heavy, a condition known as menorrhagia, it may prevent you from participating in daily activities and lead to fatigue or anemia.
In some cases, it’s hard to determine the cause of abnormal bleeding. Your provider at Swor Women’s Care conducts a complete exam and discusses your medical history with you to understand the underlying factors of your abnormal bleeding.
