Heavy Periods - Menorrhagia - HMB
​
The problem that you may be facing is worrying why you are bleeding heavily or too frequently, and the ability to get a professional discussion about options and a clear plan regarding what heavy periods may mean for you concerning management. You may be finding it difficult to obtain a quick appointment. Following review, I will put all the options of management to you depending on your current fertility status and age.
​
Consultation
This usually involves a clinical history and abdominal/internal examination to determine the size of the womb and to ensure that the bleeding is not due to a problem on the cervix.

Blood Tests

Scans
If you have recently had an ultrasound scan, I may need to send you for an MRI or CT scan depending on what I think the cause of the heavy periods are is.

You will need a further follow-up appointment to discuss the results of the tests that you have been sent for.
