Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: The Fifth Vital Sign You Can’t Ignore

If you’re struggling with heavy periods, spotting, or prolonged bleeding,  you may have abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). Many women in California  dismiss it as “normal,” but AUB can signal underlying conditions like  fibroids, polyps, or even precancerous changes. 

What is AUB? 

Signs include: 

  • Bleeding between cycles 
  • Heavy menstrual bleeding 
  • Periods lasting more than 7 days 
  • Bleeding after sex or after menopause 

Common Causes of AUB:

  • Uterine fibroids and polyps 
  • Hormonal imbalance 
  • Endometrial hyperplasia 
  • Rarely, uterine or cervical cancer 

AUB Treatment Options in California 

From hormonal therapy to in-office procedures like hysteroscopy,  endometrial ablation, or fibroid surgery, there are safe, effective solutions.
