Struggling With
Abnormal Uterine Bleeding
Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) refers to any irregular bleeding from the uterus that occurs outside of a normal menstrual cycle.
Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) refers to any irregular bleeding from the uterus that occurs outside of a normal menstrual cycle. This can include heavy or prolonged bleeding, bleeding between periods, or bleeding after menopause. AUB can be caused by a variety of factors, such as hormonal imbalances, uterine fibroids, polyps, or conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis.
A normal menstrual cycle typically lasts 24-38 days, with bleeding lasting between 2-7 days. Any significant deviation from this pattern may be classified as abnormal uterine bleeding. While AUB is more common in women who are approaching menopause, it can affect women of any age, and the underlying causes can vary based on the individual’s reproductive stage.
Abnormal Uterine Bleeding Symptoms
- The symptoms of abnormal uterine bleeding are varied and can range from minor changes in a woman’s menstrual cycle to more severe disruptions. Common symptoms include:
- Heavy Menstrual Bleeding (Menorrhagia): Bleeding that lasts for more than seven days or results in the need to change pads or tampons more frequently than every one to two hours.
- Bleeding Between Periods: Unscheduled bleeding or spotting between regular menstrual cycles.
- Prolonged Menstrual Periods: Bleeding that lasts longer than the typical menstrual cycle of 2-7 days.
- Bleeding After Intercourse: Any bleeding that occurs after sexual activity may be a sign of AUB.
- Post-Menopausal Bleeding: Women who experience bleeding after menopause should seek medical attention as it can be a sign of more serious underlying conditions.
- Irregular Menstrual Cycles: Women with AUB may experience irregular cycles, including missed periods or periods that occur too frequently.
- These symptoms can lead to physical discomfort, fatigue, and other health issues, making early diagnosis and treatment important.

Impact of Abnormal Uterine Bleeding on Women's Health
- Abnormal uterine bleeding can have significant effects on a woman's health, both physically and emotionally. The most immediate impact is the risk of anemia, which can result from chronic heavy bleeding. Anemia can cause fatigue, weakness, and a range of other symptoms that affect daily life. Over time, severe anemia may lead to more serious health issues if left untreated.
- In addition to the physical effects, AUB can have a profound emotional impact. Women may feel anxious or distressed about unpredictable bleeding, which can disrupt work, social activities, and relationships.
- The uncertainty of abnormal bleeding can lead to chronic stress and concerns about underlying health conditions.
- For women in their reproductive years, AUB may also complicate fertility, particularly if it is caused by conditions like PCOS or endometriosis. Managing AUB effectively is crucial for maintaining overall health and preventing long-term complications.
Treatment Options For Abnormal Uterine Bleeding
- Diet and Lifestyle Changes: A diet rich in iron and vitamins can help combat anemia caused by heavy bleeding. Reducing caffeine and alcohol intake, staying hydrated, and maintaining a healthy weight can also contribute to hormone regulation and symptom relief.
- Yoga and Meditation: Stress can exacerbate hormonal imbalances, leading to worsened AUB symptoms. Practices like yoga and meditation can help reduce stress and promote relaxation, potentially alleviating symptoms.
- Pelvic Physical Therapy: For women whose AUB is caused by pelvic floor dysfunction or stress, physical therapy may offer relief through exercises designed to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles.
- Surgery : If the bleeding is due to any fibroid or polyp etc that needs to be surgically removed, then laparoscopic surgery is performed.

I was referred to Dr. Puja Jain Dewan after developing high blood pressure in the early stages of my pregnancy. She immediately put me on a closely monitored plan that included regular check-ups, medication adjustments, and dietary changes. Her proactive approach helped me avoid any severe complications. When I experienced issues towards the end of my pregnancy, Dr. Puja was there every step of the way, ensuring both my baby and I were safe. I successfully delivered a healthy baby girl, and I am forever grateful for the extraordinary care Dr Puja provided.
I was going through a pre-menopausal phase where I was having trouble managing my symptoms of hot flashes, irritability and mood swings. I am so glad that I visited Dr Puja for that. She listened to me patiently, made me feel comfortable and assured me that everything is going to be alright. She then suggested some lifestyle changes, dietary changes and prescribed some meds. I didn't know that all these things will make such a huge difference. I finally feel like myself again! Thank you Dr Puja You are an amazing doctor and a good human being.
As I was experiencing various annoying symptoms, My friend recommended Dr Puja So I visited her clinic. I was quite sceptical as I had never visited a gynac before. But the experience was great, she understood my concerns and diagnosed PCOS. She also reassured me that some lifestyle changes and meds will have it managed. I followed her advice religiously and I am perfectly fine again. All those annoying symptoms, mood swings and acne are now gone. Such gynaecologists are rare these days. She is now going to be my gyne for life! Thank You so much Ma'am
