What to Pay Attention to
Every woman’s body is different, however certain signs are clear indications of something being wrong. Abnormal bleeding is considered to be bleeding that occurs between periods. There are many things that can cause it, and it can affect a woman’s daily life by impacting her job, her libido, social life, and her overall ability to do things freely. It is very important to have abnormal bleeding addressed by your physician because it can cause blood loss, which can lead to anemia or fatigue.

Treatment for Abnormal Bleeding
Dr. Shakiba will begin treatment after a thorough examination that will include reviewing an extensive personal history and a manual pelvic exam. The treatment plan will begin after all details are assessed, and the least invasive options are always the first to be utilized.
If necessary, pelvic ultrasounds will be part of the diagnosis process, as they can be very helpful in locating the source of any pelvic anatomical issues. For the convenience of our patients, these ultrasounds are done in-office by an experienced technician whose area of focus is on pelvic ultrasounds. The results are then reviewed by Dr. Shakiba who will make further assessments based on the findings. As a last resort, women’s pelvic surgery will be suggested to provide optimal relief and results for the issue causing the abnormal bleeding.
