Overview
Periods that are very heavy, prolonged, or unpredictable are not something you simply have to live with — and they are often a sign of a treatable underlying cause. Soaking through protection every hour, passing large clots, periods lasting more than seven days, or cycles that are wildly irregular can point to hormonal imbalance, fibroids, polyps, thyroid issues, PCOS or other conditions. At Health Nest (HSR Layout) and Raghava Multispeciality Hospital (Attibele), Dr. Sanjana L investigates heavy and irregular periods properly rather than dismissing them.
After identifying the cause with blood tests, an ultrasound and, where needed, hysteroscopy, treatment is matched to you — from medical and hormonal management to minimally invasive procedures for fibroids or polyps. As a fellowship-trained (FMAS) laparoscopic surgeon, Dr. Sanjana can offer keyhole options where surgery is the right answer, always with your fertility plans in mind. This page focuses on heavy and irregular bleeding; for the full range of period problems see our menstrual disorders page.

Frequently Asked Questions
Heavy periods (menorrhagia) are worth checking when you soak through protection hourly, pass large clots, bleed for more than seven days, or feel tired and breathless from blood loss. These can point to fibroids, polyps, hormonal or thyroid issues — most of which are treatable.
Common causes include PCOS, thyroid problems, hormonal imbalance, stress, fibroids or polyps, and perimenopause. Dr. Sanjana uses blood tests and an ultrasound to find the specific cause before recommending treatment.
Often not. Many cases respond to medical or hormonal treatment. Surgery — usually minimally invasive — is considered when fibroids or polyps are the cause, or when other treatments have not worked. Your fertility plans are always part of the decision.
