GYN Bleeding Issues

What are Bleeding Issues?

Bleeding issues refer to any abnormal menstrual or unexpected bleeding that may indicate an underlying medical condition. These can include heavy periods, irregular cycles, spotting between periods, or postmenopausal bleeding. Such symptoms can be caused by hormonal imbalances, fibroids, polyps, or other gynecologic concerns. Addressing these issues early can help prevent complications and improve overall health.

Heavy Periods

Excessive menstrual bleeding, known as menorrhagia, can lead to discomfort, fatigue, and even anemia. If you find yourself changing pads or tampons frequently, experiencing prolonged periods lasting more than five days, or passing large blood clots, you may have an underlying condition such as fibroids, polyps, or a hormonal imbalance. At Balance Medical, we provide thorough evaluations, including in-office diagnostic testing, to determine the root cause of your heavy periods. Treatment options range from medication and hormonal therapy to minimally invasive procedures that help regulate or reduce menstrual flow. Our goal is to improve your quality of life and restore BALANCE to your menstrual cycle with personalized care.

Abnormal Bleeding

Unexpected or irregular bleeding outside of your normal cycle can be a cause for concern. Whether you experience spotting between periods, extremely light or unpredictable cycles, or postmenopausal bleeding, our experienced team is here to help. Abnormal bleeding may be linked to conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, uterine fibroids, or hormonal fluctuations. Through comprehensive assessments, including ultrasound and laboratory testing, we work to identify the cause of your symptoms. We develop tailored treatment plans to address your specific needs, offering solutions such as hormonal management, lifestyle modifications, or advanced surgical options when necessary.
