Hi,
There are several possible causes of heavy menstrual bleeding and cramps. Some common causes include:
- Hormonal imbalances: Hormonal imbalances, particularly those involving estrogen and progesterone, can lead to heavy menstrual bleeding and cramps.
- Uterine fibroids: Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths in the uterus that can cause heavy menstrual bleeding and cramps.
- Endometriosis: Endometriosis is a condition in which the tissue that normally lines the uterus grows outside of it. This can cause heavy menstrual bleeding and cramps, among other symptoms.
- Adenomyosis: Adenomyosis is a condition in which the tissue that normally lines the uterus grows into the muscular wall of the uterus. This can cause heavy menstrual bleeding and cramps.
- Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID): PID is an infection of the reproductive organs that can cause heavy menstrual bleeding and cramps, among other symptoms.
- Cervical or uterine cancer: In rare cases, heavy menstrual bleeding and cramps can be a sign of cervical or uterine cancer.
It is important to talk to your doctor about any changes in your menstrual cycle, particularly if you are experiencing heavy bleeding or cramps. Your doctor can help determine the underlying cause and recommend the appropriate treatment.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
