What Is Abnormal Uterine Bleeding?

Abnormal uterine bleeding refers to any bleeding that differs from your usual menstrual cycle. This can include bleeding that’s heavier or lighter than normal, lasts longer than expected, or occurs between periods. You might also notice bleeding after sex or after menopause. AUB isn’t a diagnosis itself—it’s a symptom of something deeper, like hormonal imbalances, fibroids, or other gynecological conditions. At Femme Med and Spa, we take your concerns seriously and work closely with you to uncover the root cause.

Signs & Symptoms of Abnormal Uterine Bleeding

  • Bleeding that soaks through a pad or tampon every hour
  • Periods lasting longer than seven days
  • Bleeding between periods or after sex
  • Passing large blood clots during your period
  • Spotting after menopause
  • Unpredictable or irregular cycle timing
  • Cramping or pelvic pain unrelated to your normal cycle

Possible Causes of Abnormal Uterine Bleeding

  • Hormonal imbalances affecting your cycle
  • Uterine fibroids or polyps disrupting normal bleeding
  • Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) altering ovulation
  • Thyroid disorders interfering with hormone regulation
  • Endometriosis, which can cause inflammation and irregular bleeding
  • Certain birth control methods that may impact your period
  • Pregnancy-related issues, including miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy

Uncover the Root Cause of Abnormal Uterine Bleeding

At Femme Med and Spa, we listen closely to your symptoms to understand what your body is telling you. To uncover the root cause of abnormal uterine bleeding, we may perform a pelvic exam, ultrasound, bloodwork, or hormone testing—whatever helps us see the full picture. In some cases, we might recommend a biopsy or additional imaging. Once we understand what’s behind your bleeding, we’ll guide you through your treatment options.
