Heavy or irregular periods: what is worth checking

Heavy or irregular periods: what is worth checking

Not every cycle change is an emergency — but some patterns deserve a proper work-up rather than another painkiller.

Patterns that need review

Soaking pads hourly, clots, cycles shorter than 21 days or longer than 35, bleeding between periods, or pain that stops daily life should be assessed.

First-line checks

History, examination, ultrasound and selected blood tests usually come before any surgery. Many causes are medical and reversible.
