 What is abnormal bleeding and what are the treatment options?

Abnormal or dysfunctional bleeding occurs for hormonal reasons, because of polyps in ther uterus and/or cervix, endometrial hyperplasia, and for other conditions including fibroids, adenomyosis, pelvic infection and uterine or cervical cancers.

Bleeding can be an inconvenience or interrupt your daily activities and may be associated with pelvic pain and uterine cramping.

Non-Surgical Treatment Options
  • Hormones to regulate ovulation and menstruating for hormone related bleeding
  • Progestin containing IUD (Intraterine device) for endometrial hyperplasia.

Surgical Treatment Options
  • Endometrial Ablation - Removal of uterus lining
    - Rollerball or Rollerbarrel
    - Thermal Balloon
    - Freezing
  • Hysterscopy - for removal of polyps in uterus and/or cervix
  • Hysterectomy - removal of uterus

A hysterectomy is used to treat abnormal uterine bleeding only when other approaches have failed.
