At OBGYN Care Orlando, we are equipped with the proper tools and expertise to delve into the causes of heavy menstrual bleeding, guide you through the diagnostic process, and explore effective treatment options tailored to your unique needs.

What causes heavy menstrual bleeding?

Heavy menstrual bleeding, also known as menorrhagia, can be attributed to various factors and medical conditions. Some of these include:

  • Hormonal imbalances
  • Uterine fibroids
  • Polyps
  • Adenomyosis
  • Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID)
  • Some medications, such as anticoagulants

How is heavy menstrual bleeding diagnosed?

Our experienced healthcare professionals at OBGYN Care Orlando use a thorough approach to diagnose the underlying cause of heavy menstrual bleeding. This may involve a detailed medical history, a thorough physical examination, and diagnostic tests such as pelvic ultrasound, hysteroscopy, or blood tests to assess hormonal levels.

What are the treatment options for heavy menstrual bleeding?

Treatment options vary based on the underlying cause and individual patient needs. Some common approaches include:

  • Medications: Hormonal treatments, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and tranexamic acid can help regulate menstrual bleeding.
  • Lifestyle Modifications: Simple lifestyle changes, such as maintaining a healthy diet and exercise routine, can have a positive impact on menstrual health.
  • Intrauterine Devices (IUDs): Certain hormonal IUDs are effective in reducing menstrual bleeding and providing contraception.
  • Endometrial Ablation: Novasure Endometrial Ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that removes or destroys the uterine lining, significantly reducing menstrual bleeding. This procedure is suitable for women who have completed their childbearing.
  • Surgical Options: In cases where other treatments are ineffective, surgical interventions like hysterectomy may be considered.

Why consider Novasure Endometrial Ablation?

Novasure Endometrial Ablation is a safe and effective option for managing heavy menstrual bleeding. It offers several benefits, including a quick recovery time, minimal scarring, and a high rate of patient satisfaction. However, it’s essential to consult with our healthcare professionals to determine if this procedure is the right choice based on individual circumstances.
