Abnormal Uterine Bleeding Treatment in Busan, Korea

Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) refers to menstrual bleeding that differs from your normal cycle in timing, duration, or amount. Heavy periods, bleeding between periods, prolonged menstruation, or bleeding after menopause should always be evaluated by a qualified OBGYN.

At Seomyeon Glory Women's Clinic, our experienced English-speaking OBGYN specialists identify the underlying cause of abnormal bleeding using modern diagnostic techniques and provide personalized treatment plans to restore your reproductive health and improve your quality of life.

What Is Abnormal Uterine Bleeding?

Abnormal uterine bleeding includes:

• Heavy menstrual bleeding
• Bleeding between periods
• Very long menstrual periods
• Frequent menstrual cycles
• Missed periods followed by heavy bleeding
• Bleeding after sexual intercourse
• Bleeding after menopause
• Irregular menstrual cycles

While hormonal fluctuations are a common cause, abnormal bleeding may also indicate an underlying gynecological condition that requires medical evaluation.

Common Causes of Abnormal Bleeding

Abnormal bleeding may be caused by:

• Hormonal imbalance
• Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
• Uterine fibroids

• Thyroid disorders
• Blood clotting disorders

• Very heavy menstrual flow
• Bleeding lasting longer than seven days
• Bleeding between periods
