Abnormal vaginal bleeding can take many forms. Some people experience abnormal bleeding between their normal menstrual periods. Others bleed only during their periods but experience long or especially heavy flows. Abnormal bleeding can be disruptive to your life, painful, and even detrimental to your health. Fortunately, a gynecologist can offer treatment for reproductive bleeding disorders. Here are some treatment options that may help you:
1. Hormonal Birth Control
Birth control is often used as a contraceptive.
As they grow up, girls are often told that every woman's period is different. Some girls experience more pain and discomfort with their periods than others. Some experience heavier bleeding than others.
These statements are true, but sometimes they have the unintentional effect of leading women to believe that whatever symptoms they experience during their periods are normal and nothing to worry about. This can lead to medical problems being overlooked for years simply because women do not realize their period symptoms are worth mentioning to their OBGYN.
