Excessive menstrual bleeding, known as menorrhagia, can result from hormonal imbalance, uterine fibroids, polyps, thyroid disorders, endometriosis, adenomyosis, bleeding disorders, certain medications, or intrauterine devices (IUDs). It may also occur due to pelvic infections or other underlying health issues. Since prolonged heavy bleeding can cause anaemia and fatigue, it's essential to consult a gynaecologist for proper diagnosis. The doctor may recommend blood tests, a pelvic ultrasound, or a hormonal evaluation to identify the cause and guide appropriate treatment.

Pain on the right side from the shoulder to the leg that worsens before your period may be linked to hormonal changes, muscle or nerve tension, or conditions like endometriosis, where tissue similar to the uterine lining affects nearby organs or nerves. It can also result from musculoskeletal strain, pelvic inflammation, or nerve compression. Since the pain pattern recurs and is related to your menstrual cycle, it's important to consult a gynaecologist for a detailed evaluation. They may recommend pelvic imaging, hormonal assessment, or nerve tests to identify the cause and provide appropriate treatment.

Mild bleeding and lower abdominal pain without menstruation for a week can have several possible causes. It may occur due to hormonal imbalance, ovulation spotting, stress, or recent changes in birth control pills. Other possibilities include early pregnancy, implantation bleeding, uterine fibroids, cervical or vaginal infections, endometrial changes, or thyroid-related issues. In some cases, minor bleeding can also happen after intercourse or pelvic inflammation. Since the symptoms have persisted for a week, it's essential to consult a gynaecologist for an accurate diagnosis. The doctor may suggest a pelvic examination, ultrasound, and blood tests to determine the cause and provide suitable treatment. Avoid taking any medication on your own, and keep a record of your bleeding pattern to share during your consultation.

Mild stomach pain during early pregnancy can sometimes be normal due to uterine stretching, hormonal changes, gas, or constipation. However, it can also indicate other conditions such as urinary infection, gastritis, or pregnancy-related complications. It's essential to inform your gynaecologist about the pain so they can properly assess it and suggest safe treatment if needed. If the pain becomes severe, persistent, or is associated with bleeding, dizziness, or vomiting, seek medical attention without delay. Avoid self-medicating or using home remedies, as only a doctor can confirm the cause and ensure both your health and your baby's safety.

Management of an intramural uterine fibroid depends on its size, symptoms, and your fertility plans. Small, symptom-free fibroids may only need regular monitoring. If you experience heavy bleeding or pelvic pain, treatment options include medications to balance hormones and control bleeding, non-surgical procedures like uterine artery embolisation or focused ultrasound to shrink the fibroid, or surgery such as myomectomy to remove the fibroid or hysterectomy if future pregnancy is not planned. Your gynaecologist can help choose the safest and most suitable option based on your condition and reproductive goals.

Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus, often during a woman's reproductive years. They form due to hormonal and genetic factors and can vary in size and number. Many women have no symptoms, but some may experience heavy periods, pelvic pain, frequent urination, or difficulty conceiving. Diagnosis is usually made through an ultrasound or pelvic exam. Treatment depends on symptoms and may include medicines, minor procedures, or surgery. It's best to consult a gynaecologist to confirm the diagnosis and choose the most suitable treatment.
