The condition

What is heavy periods?

Heavy menstrual bleeding is common and treatable — and it deserves assessment, because it can cause anaemia and affect daily life.

  • Flooding & clots
  • Anaemia & tiredness
  • Underlying causes
  • Blood tests
  • Pelvic ultrasound
  • Treatment options

Understanding heavy periods

Heavy Periods: symptoms, causes, tests & treatment

Arrange assessment promptly if you have

  • bleeding between periods, or after sex
  • any bleeding after the menopause
  • bleeding with pelvic pain, bloating or a feeling of fullness that persists
  • dizziness, breathlessness or palpitations — these suggest significant anaemia
  • flooding that soaks through clothing or bedding, or passing clots larger than a 50p piece
  • a sudden change in a pattern that had been stable for years

Bleeding between periods and after sex needs examining and usually a smear check and ultrasound — not because it is likely to be sinister, but because the causes that matter are treatable when found early. In an emergency call 999, or go to the Royal London Hospital Emergency Department, Whitechapel Road, London E1 1FR.

What counts as heavy

  • changing pads or tampons every hour or two, or needing double protection
  • bleeding through to clothes or bedding
  • passing clots larger than a 50p piece
  • periods lasting more than seven days
  • planning your life around your period — avoiding work, travel, exercise or social plans

Get your iron checked

Heavy periods are the commonest cause of iron deficiency in women, and iron can be low long before you are formally anaemic. Low iron causes exhaustion, breathlessness on stairs, poor concentration, hair shedding and restless legs — symptoms routinely attributed to a busy life. Ask for ferritin as well as a full blood count; a normal haemoglobin does not exclude iron deficiency.

Common causes

  • No structural cause at all in around half of cases — this is a real diagnosis, not a failure to find one
  • Fibroids — benign growths in the womb, very common
  • Adenomyosis — womb lining growing into the muscle, causing heavy and painful periods
  • Polyps in the womb or cervix
  • Hormonal changes, particularly in perimenopause
  • Bleeding disorders — worth considering if you have bled heavily since your very first period, or bruise and bleed easily
  • Thyroid problems, and some medicines including anticoagulants

Treatment, roughly in order

First linehormonal coil (LNG-IUS)
No hormonestranexamic acid, anti-inflammatories
Alsocombined pill, progestogens, procedures
  • The hormonal coil is the most effective medical treatment and is recommended first line. It reduces bleeding substantially, often stopping periods altogether, lasts several years, and is reversible. It is a small procedure in clinic.
  • Tranexamic acid, taken only on heavy days, reduces blood loss by around a third to a half. It is not hormonal and does not affect fertility.
  • Anti-inflammatories such as mefenamic acid or naproxen reduce both bleeding and period pain, taken during the period.
  • The combined pill lightens and regulates periods and can be taken back to back to skip them.
  • Endometrial ablation or, rarely, surgery for fibroids or hysterectomy, where medical treatment has not worked and family is complete.
  • Iron replacement alongside whatever else — treating the bleeding without replacing the iron leaves you exhausted for months.

What assessment involves

A history and examination, blood tests including full blood count and ferritin, and usually a pelvic ultrasound to look for fibroids, polyps or adenomyosis. Depending on findings, a hysteroscopy — a camera look inside the womb — may follow. Most of this can be done in a single visit.

Book an appointment if your periods are affecting your life, you are exhausted and suspect low iron, you want a hormonal coil fitted, or you have bleeding between periods. We offer women's health consultations, blood tests and pelvic ultrasound on site 7 days a week, and arrange coil fitting through our CQC-registered partners.
