At Oasis Women’s Wellness Center, we frequently hear from patients in Atlanta who are struggling with periods that are unpredictable, painfully heavy, or simply exhausting. If you find your menstrual cycle is interfering with your daily life, you are not alone, and you don’t have to “just deal with it.”
What Constitutes an Abnormal Period?
While every woman’s cycle is different, there are signs that your period may be abnormal. If you experience any of the following, it is time to consult an expert:
- Heavy Menstrual Bleeding (Menorrhagia): Soaking through a pad or tampon every hour for several consecutive hours.
- Prolonged Cycles: Periods that consistently last longer than seven days.
- Irregularity: Cycles that are consistently shorter than 21 days or longer than 35 days.
- Severe Pain: Cramping that prevents you from performing your daily activities.
Common Causes
Irregular or heavy bleeding can be caused by various factors, including:
- Hormonal imbalances (such as PCOS or thyroid issues)
- Uterine fibroids or polyps
- Endometriosis
- Medication side effects
