Heavy menstrual bleeding from fibroids can cause anaemia, fatigue, and disrupted work life. Soak-through pads within an hour, clots, or periods longer than seven days warrant gynaecology review in Hyderabad.

Menorrhagia linked to fibroids is one of the top reasons women seek gynaecology care in Hyderabad. Bleeding that soaks pads hourly, lasts beyond seven days, or leads to dizziness needs prompt assessment — please consult a doctor rather than self-medicating long term.

How fibroids cause heavy bleeding

Submucosal and some intramural fibroids enlarge the endometrial surface, impair uterine contraction, and increase local blood flow — resulting in heavy, prolonged periods.

Anaemia warning signs

  • Fatigue, breathlessness, or palpitations
  • Pale skin or low haemoglobin on blood tests
  • Needing iron infusions or repeated tablets without a diagnosis

Treatment pathways

Options include tranexamic acid, hormonal therapy, levonorgestrel IUD (when cavity allows), and procedures from hysteroscopic resection to laparoscopic myomectomy. Read more on non-surgical fibroid options and fibroid symptoms.
