Intermenstrual bleeding medically known as metrorrhagia refers to bleeding through the vagina that occurs any time in between the expected date of normal menstrual cycle or periods. It may also occur in women around the menopausal age. Intermenstrual bleeding can occur from several causes. At times this may be a part of ovulation which is normal. It may also occur in women who use contraceptives. Next cause could be pregnancy complications like miscarriage. Using blood thinners could also be a reason. Besides these reasons, some medical conditions could be linked with it. First among these is hormonal imbalance. Second is uterine fibroids which refer to non-cancerous growths developing in uterus. Next can be polyps in the uterus which are benign growths on the inner lining of the uterus. Another is endometriosis i.e. a condition in which there is growth of the endometrial tissue lining the mucous membrane of the uterus in some areas other than the uterus like in the ovaries, fallopian tubes, rectum, the urinary bladder and intestines. Further causes are adenomyosis (a condition in which the tissue lining the uterus grows in the muscle wall of uterus), some sexually transmitted infections (STIs), pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) means infection in the female reproductive organs and cancer of uterus / vagina/ cervix / ovaries.

Dear Dr. Sharma,
I am a 52 year old woman in peri menopause. I have had heavy periods all of my menstruating life but now suffer from dysfunctional uterine bleeding in peri menopause. I am under a gynecologist’s care and she is giving me Prometrium 100 mgs. twice a day for the first ten days of the month each month. This seemed to help a lot in the first three months, but now I am having the dysfunctional bleeding again.
She has ruled out polyps, fibroids, and cancer. I have nothing wrong with me except the hormonal balance that comes in peri menopause. I’ve used homeopathy for decades but cannot seem to find an effective remedy now. Please help. Thank you!

Dear Dr. Sharma,
I suffer from heavy menstrual bleeding. This problem started previous year. It is so heavy bleeding that it does not stop with any medicine. It continues for months at a time and sometimes so heavy with blood clots. I have to take birth control pill Norethrindrone Acetate 3 pills for 5 days to stop the flow. Even after the blood flow is reduced I still have to continue with 1 pill per day as there is still faint discharge.
The flow again comes back in 15 to 17 days again I take the pills heavily.
Past history:
I always suffered heavy flow in the past but it used to stop after a month and sometimes I missed period by 1 to 2 months. But now it is never stopping. Sometimes it is heavy and sometimes light to faint.
I cannot get pregnant because of this.
Please suggest.
Dear doctor. I am 35 yrs old.for 6 months my period is continuing and has never stopped. There is heavy blood flow with clots but with no pain …I want to get pregnant but can’t due to his …please help
