Abnormal Uterine Bleeding
Heavy, irregular, or unexpected bleeding can disrupt daily life and cause real worry. Whether you're dealing with periods that are too frequent, too heavy, or have suddenly changed, Dr. Massey offers thorough evaluation and personalized treatment to help identify the cause and find relief.
Common Causes of Abnormal Bleeding
Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) can occur at any age and may be related to:
- Hormonal changes or imbalances
- Perimenopause or menopause
- Uterine fibroids or polyps
- Endometrial (uterine lining) abnormalities
- Thyroid disorders
- Bleeding disorders
- Pregnancy-related issues (in reproductive-age women)
In-Office Evaluation Options
To make diagnosis easier and more convenient, Dr. Massey offers in-office testing and procedures, including:
- Endometrial biopsy
- Office hysteroscopy – a quick, minimally invasive way to view the inside of the uterus and identify abnormalities like polyps or thickened lining
These tools allow for accurate diagnosis without a hospital visit in most cases.
Treatment Options Tailored to You
Once the cause is identified, treatment can be individualized based on your health, age, reproductive goals, and personal preferences. Options may include:
- Hormonal treatments (such as pills, IUDs, or injections)
- Non-hormonal medications
- Referral for advanced procedures, including endometrial ablation or hysterectomy when appropriate
Dr. Massey partners with trusted specialists when surgical care is needed, helping coordinate referrals to ensure continuity and support.
