Heavy Bleeding

What is Heavy Bleeding and why it matters

Heavy menstrual bleeding — also known as menorrhagia — is more than just an inconvenience. It can interfere with your daily life, lead to anemia, fatigue, and discomfort, and often signals an underlying gynecologic condition. Whether it’s persistent spotting, bleeding that lasts longer than seven days, or the need to change pads or tampons every hour, this symptom deserves expert evaluation.

‍

Our goal is not only to identify the root cause but also to provide personalized and effective treatment options that improve your comfort, health, and overall quality of life.

Dr. Ravins and the team at Raveco Medical provided exceptional care throughout my pregnancy and labor.

Amazing experience having Dr. R as my Doctor. He did my C section. From the moment I met him before my procedure, I felt comfortable and confident. He was all about making me comfortable, listening and answering questions, along with reassuring regarding all my concerns. He has a great personality like you’ve known him forever and just that was very welcoming.

Patient

Dr Ravins is such an incredible and awesome surgeon. My C section went so smoothly that I barely had pain afterwards. I was up walking, taking care of my baby the next day. Staff members, anesthesiologists, nurses were so professional, carrying.

Patient

Liza Gorham

The care provided at Raveco Medical is definitely the treatment every pregnant woman deserves. I will never forget my first prenatal appointment with Dr. Steven Ravins, after he became aware that I was above advance maternal age his exact words were "we are going to take care of you" and that's what Dr. Ravins and Dr. Olkowski did.

Patient

Camila

This was an amazing hospital the nurse was very attentive, the whole team was supportive and knowledgeable. They walked me through my whole experience and supported me throughout my labor experience. I would encourage to do the epidural if you are in extreme pain because Dr.Khan was phenomenal and walked me through everything.

Patient

Dr. Ravins helped me and my partner during the whole process of delivering my baby and he offered me the epidural. It was amazing I felt no pain and I recommend you get the epidural to make the delivery much easier.

Patient

Sara Porchetta

My c section was everything I had hoped for and more. Dr. Ravins was highly recommended by my OB/GYN when I became aware that I would potentially be getting a c section. Dr. Ravins came in before the surgery and was very thorough with my husband and I, to alleviate any concerns and explain the procedure.

What You Should Know About Heavy Bleeding

What is heavy bleeding?

Every woman has a unique experience when it comes to menstrual bleeding. The length of your periods, as well as their timing and the volume of bleeding, can vary over time or even from month to month.

Knowing when your experience falls outside the norm isn’t always easy. However, some guidelines help you understand where your period falls in terms of what is “average” or “normal.”

‍

In general, abnormal bleeding is identified as periods that:

Bleeding through your pads or tampons within a couple of hours
Bleeding for more than seven days in a row
Bleeding at unusual times, like after sex or in between your periods
Periods that occur more than 35 days apart or less than 28 days apart

‍

Abnormal bleeding is most common in women who are in their reproductive years, but it can also occur in women who have already gone through menopause.

What could be causing my heavy bleeding?

Several different things can cause or worsen abnormal bleeding. Some of the potential causes include:

‍

Uterine fibroids
Uterine polyps
Hormonal birth control methods
Certain gynecologic cancers
Extreme weight gain or loss
Endometriosis
Polycystic ovary syndrome

‍

The best way to understand what might be causing your abnormal bleeding is to come in for a thorough diagnostic work-up, including a pelvic exam.

What are some treatment options for heavy bleeding?

Your treatment plan depends on the conditions that are causing problematic bleeding. In some cases, all that’s needed is a change in your birth control. Many women find relief by switching to a different type of birth control pill or more long-lasting options like birth control injections or implants.

Another option is a treatment called MARA™. This is a water vapor ablation treatment that reduces heavy bleeding by creating a permanent reduction in the thickness of your uterine lining.

A form of endometrial ablation, MARA treatment is only suitable for women who are certain that they do not wish to become pregnant in the future. Treatment will permanently alter the lining of your uterus.

The treatment takes just a few moments, but you’ll be in the office for an hour or two. Some cramping and vaginal discharge is normal, but most women are able to return to work and other routines within a couple of days.

To learn more, call Raveco Medical during normal business hours to book a visit or schedule online any time of day.
