Heavy bleeding is a common condition affecting many women globally. Although periods can be devastating and disruptive, causing uncomfortable symptoms such as heavy bleeding or inability to sleep, exercise, or walk comfortably, there is hope. However, you can also experience heavy bleeding from your period as a result of other complications. Fortunately, Christopher K. Quinsey, MD, a Lake Mary heavy bleeding specialist, can help you through accurate diagnosis and treatment of your condition. The first step is to evaluate your situation’s causes, and here are some of the possible reasons for your heavy bleeding.

Ectopic Pregnancy

When your heavy bleeding occurs away from your periods, it can be a sign of an ectopic pregnancy. This is a condition where a pregnancy develops outside your uterus and is unsustainable. The condition can cause several complications, including severe cramping and heavy bleeding, and can often be mistaken for a heavy menstrual period. The state is life-threatening if not well managed, and that is why you should contact Dr. Quinsey as soon as possible for clearance.

Medications

Some medications, particularly blood thinners, can cause blood flow complications and cause heavy flow during your periods. Therefore, it is good to evaluate the type of medications you take around your period. Besides, medication changes can also interfere with your cycle causing heavy bleeding, mainly during the first day. As you visit your provider, it would be best to take with you the medications you have recently used to identify the root cause of your condition.

Birth Control Changes

Some of the birth control methods can cause bleeding complications. If you have just begun using a non-hormonal intrauterine device (IUD), you might experience heavy menstrual bleeding as a symptom. However, the bleeding can lessen after a few months with the device. Besides, if you stop using hormonal birth control methods, your periods can become very heavy initially as your cycle adjusts to the hormonal changes.

Hormone Complication

If you endure a heavy and painful period that recurs, you might be having some underlying long-term complications such as hormone complications. The two main hormones involved in menstruation, progesterone and estrogen, are typically balanced by your body. However, sometimes you can have too much estrogen leading to the thickening of your uterine lining. The results will be heavy bleeding as the lining is eliminated during your period.

Uterine Polyps and Fibroids

Uterine polyps are small growths developing on your uterus lining and can make your periods heavier. Fibroids are non-cancerous growths that form on the uterus muscle tissue. Sometimes, the growths can extend outside of the uterus within the wall, project into the cavity, or occur both ways. In such cases, you can experience heavy and painful periods.

Perimenopause

As you approach menopause, you will be under transition, where your body undergoes several hormonal changes. You can experience unusual symptoms during these periods, including heavy bleeding during your period. Besides, at this time, you are at a higher risk of pregnancy complications such as miscarriages which can also cause heavy bleeding.

If you are experiencing heavy bleeding, there is hope ahead. Reach out to Dr. Quinsey, who will help you identify the cause of your condition and offer you the necessary help you might require.
