What is Heavy Menstrual Bleeding?
Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB), also known as menorrhagia, is a common gynaecological condition where periods are abnormally heavy, prolonged, or both. Women with HMB may need to change sanitary products more frequently, experience blood clots during their periods, or suffer from significant disruption to daily activities.
For some, heavy periods may lead to anaemia, fatigue, and reduced quality of life. While occasional heavy periods can be normal, persistent heavy menstrual bleeding often requires investigation and treatment to relieve symptoms and improve overall health.
At our clinics, we provide a range of medical and surgical options tailored to your individual needs, helping you regain comfort, confidence, and control.
What Happens During Surgery?
The right treatment for heavy menstrual bleeding depends on your medical history, severity of symptoms, and whether you plan to have children in the future. Options may include:
- Medication – Hormonal therapies (e.g. the pill, IUS coil, or injections) and non-hormonal medicines to control bleeding.
- Endometrial Ablation – A minimally invasive procedure that removes or destroys the lining of the womb to reduce or stop bleeding.
- Hysteroscopy – A diagnostic and sometimes therapeutic procedure used to identify and treat issues inside the womb (such as polyps or fibroids).
- Myomectomy – Surgical removal of fibroids that may be contributing to heavy bleeding.
- Hysterectomy – In severe cases, removal of the womb may be considered, which permanently resolves heavy bleeding.
Most treatments are performed under local or general anaesthesia, with many being day-case procedures. Recovery times vary from a few days to several weeks, depending on the type of treatment chosen.
Is Heavy Menstrual Bleeding Treatment Right for Me?
You may benefit from treatment if you:
- Need to change sanitary protection every 1–2 hours during your period
- Pass large clots or experience flooding during menstruation
- Have periods lasting longer than 7 days
- Experience fatigue, dizziness, or anaemia linked to heavy blood loss
- Find that periods interfere with work, relationships, or daily activities
A consultation with one of our experienced gynaecologists will help determine the cause of your heavy bleeding and the most effective treatment for your situation.
- Reduced bleeding and more manageable periods
- Relief from anaemia, fatigue, and related health issues
- Restored confidence and quality of life
- Minimally invasive options with quick recovery available
- Personalised treatment plans designed around your fertility goals
As with any medical or surgical procedure, there are risks. Treatments for heavy menstrual bleeding may involve infection, bleeding, scarring, or changes in menstrual patterns. Risks linked to anaesthesia may also apply, along with temporary cramping or discomfort during recovery. However, these complications are uncommon when aftercare instructions are followed, and most patients experience significant improvement. Your consultant will explain all potential risks during your consultation, tailored to your health and chosen treatment.
