Heavy menstruation, also known as menorrhagia, is usually the result of a hormonal imbalance. Another common cause of abnormal uterine bleeding is fibroid tumors. Other causes of excessive bleeding that your healthcare provider should consider include: cervical or endometrial polyps.
Some women will have no symptoms at all, and the condition might only be discovered during an evaluation for infertility. Polyps and fibroids can cause irregular or heavy menstrual bleeding. Endometriosis can cause very painful periods, pelvic pain, pain with intercourse, pain with bowel movements, and low back pain. Intrauterine adhesions may sometimes cause abnormally light periods or even complete absence of periods, a condition known as Ashermanâs Syndrome.
