When to investigate

Bleeding more than 7 days, soaking through pads hourly, bleeding between cycles, post-coital bleeding, or any bleeding after a clean 12-month gap. We rule out fibroids, polyps, and endometrial pathology.

What helps day-to-day

Cyclic or continuous bioidentical progesterone, iron repletion, and addressing thyroid and insulin. We also evaluate for fibroids if bleeding is heavy.
