Clues to ask about
Clots, soaking protection frequently, prolonged bleeding, fatigue, shortness of breath and iron-deficiency anemia.
Heavy Bleeding
When is heavy menstrual bleeding more than “just a bad period”?
Heavy bleeding can come from fibroids, adenomyosis, hormonal causes, polyps, bleeding disorders and other conditions. The treatment depends on the cause.
Heavy bleeding deserves a cause, not just a label.
Why imaging matters
Ultrasound or MRI can help identify fibroids, adenomyosis and other structural explanations.
UFE is not a treatment for every cause of heavy bleeding. It is a fibroid treatment when fibroids are actually driving the problem.
