Expert Diagnosis and Personalized Treatment for Heavy, Irregular, and Unusual Menstrual Bleeding

Best Treatment for Abnormal Uterine Bleeding in Royapettah, Chennai

Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (AUB) is one of the most common gynecological concerns affecting women of all age groups. It refers to bleeding from the uterus that differs from a woman’s normal menstrual cycle in terms of frequency, duration, timing, or amount of blood loss.

Many women experience heavy periods, irregular cycles, bleeding between periods, prolonged menstrual bleeding, or postmenopausal bleeding at some point in their lives. While occasional changes in menstrual cycles may not be serious, persistent abnormal bleeding should never be ignored, as it may indicate an underlying hormonal, structural, or medical condition.                              

At ALVUS Care, Royapettah, Chennai, Dr. Lily Nandi provides comprehensive evaluation and advanced treatment for abnormal uterine bleeding, helping women achieve better reproductive health and improved quality of life.
