Abnormal Uterine Bleeding in Treatment Chennai

When your menstrual cycle starts to feel unpredictable, unusually heavy, or completely out of sync, it’s not just inconvenient — it’s a sign your body needs attention. I’m Dr. V Preethi, a General and Laparoscopic Surgeon at Hayagriva Hospital, Chennai. I help women identify the root causes of abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) and offer compassionate, evidence-based treatments tailored to each individual’s health goals.

Unusual uterine bleeding doesn’t have to be your ‘normal’ — there are solutions, and I’m here to help you find them. Whether you’re experiencing prolonged periods, heavy bleeding, or spotting between cycles, I’ll help you understand what’s happening and guide you toward the right solution — from diagnostics to personalized treatment. You deserve clarity, comfort, and a care plan that works for your body and your life.

What is Abnormal Uterine Bleeding?

Abnormal uterine bleeding refers to any irregularity in menstrual bleeding — whether it’s unusually heavy, prolonged, infrequent, or occurs outside your normal cycle. It can be caused by hormonal imbalances, uterine fibroids, polyps, adenomyosis, or more serious conditions like endometrial hyperplasia. In some cases, medications or stress may also play a role. Diagnosis begins with a thorough clinical evaluation, imaging, and sometimes blood tests or biopsies.

Getting to the root of abnormal uterine bleeding matters — because it's not the condition itself, but a sign that something deeper may be going on. Left unchecked, it can impact your energy levels, daily function, and emotional well-being. That’s why timely consultation and treatment planning are so important. My approach ensures we not only treat the bleeding but also restore your overall health and hormonal balance.

• Irregular menstrual timing or skipped periods
• Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
• Spotting between cycles or after menopause
• Bleeding after intercourse
• Symptoms lasting more than two cycles

Common Symptoms

The symptoms of abnormal uterine bleeding can vary from woman to woman, but the most common include excessive blood loss during periods (often needing double protection or frequent changes), bleeding lasting more than seven days, and spotting between periods. Some women may also notice large clots or feel fatigued due to anemia caused by excessive blood loss. These symptoms often disrupt work, sleep, and social life.

It’s also not uncommon for AUB to be accompanied by pelvic pressure or pain, especially if fibroids or adenomyosis are the cause. Emotional strain and anxiety often follow, particularly when women are unsure of the root cause. Recognizing these symptoms early and consulting a specialist like me can help you take back control of your health and life.

When is Surgery Needed?

Not every case of abnormal uterine bleeding requires surgery. In many instances, we can manage symptoms with medications, hormone therapy, or lifestyle modifications. However, when medical management doesn’t work — or if imaging reveals fibroids, polyps, or other structural issues — surgery becomes the safest and most effective next step. The decision is always personalized, based on your age, fertility plans, and the severity of symptoms.

I offer a range of minimally invasive surgical options, including hysteroscopy, myomectomy, endometrial ablation, and in some cases, hysterectomy. These procedures are designed to target the source of the bleeding while minimizing recovery time and preserving uterine function whenever possible. The goal is to restore your health, reduce your symptoms, and help you return to your daily life with confidence.

• Medical treatments aren’t resolving symptoms
• Detection of sizeable fibroids or uterine polyps during evaluation
• Heavy bleeding affecting daily life or causing anemia
• AUB post-menopause requiring further investigation
• Recurrent bleeding despite prior treatments

My Approach to Abnormal Uterine Bleeding Treatment

I begin every consultation by listening — really listening — to your symptoms, cycle history, and concerns. We’ll perform targeted diagnostic tests, and I’ll walk you through each result so you can fully understand what’s happening. My treatment plans are never one-size-fits-all. Instead, we tailor everything to your body’s needs and your personal goals, whether that’s preserving fertility, minimizing downtime, or achieving long-term relief.

If surgery is necessary, I offer minimally invasive techniques that mean smaller incisions, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery. But more importantly, you’ll be supported every step of the way. From pre-surgery counseling to post-op check-ins, I prioritize clear communication and compassionate care to help you feel at ease and informed throughout your journey.

• Holistic evaluation of medical and menstrual history
• Clear explanation of diagnostic findings
• Personalized treatment plans to your health and lifestyle goals
• Minimally invasive surgery where suitable
• Personalized follow-up care after treatment
