Irregular or heavy periods in Gilbert, AZ

Cycles that were once predictable start arriving early, late or not at all. Some months are far heavier than others. It is worth finding out why.

Understanding irregular or heavy periods

Changes to your cycle are often the first sign of perimenopause, as estrogen and progesterone begin to rise and fall unevenly.

Heavy or irregular bleeding can also come from thyroid problems, fibroids, polyps or other conditions that need their own care.

We start with your history and labs. If something points beyond hormones, we refer you to a gynecologist.

Common signs

Any of these is a reason to be evaluated.

  • Cycles shorter or longer than usual
  • Skipped periods
  • Bleeding that soaks through protection quickly
  • Periods lasting longer than a week
  • Spotting between periods
  • Worsening cramps
  • Fatigue or feeling light-headed
  • Clots larger than a coin
