Heavy or Abnormal Menstrual Bleeding
Periods that soak through protection, last longer than a week or come with clots can be treated. The first step is finding out why they happen.
General Gynaecology
Finding the cause and bringing heavy bleeding under control
Heavy bleeding means bleeding that affects your daily life, such as changing protection every hour or passing large clots. Abnormal bleeding also includes bleeding between periods, after sex or after menopause. Causes include fibroids, polyps, adenomyosis and hormone imbalance, and less often, changes in the lining that need closer checks.
Heavy periods can leave you tired, anaemic and planning life around your cycle. Treatment can often ease this.
Dr Jasdev explains the options, including those that protect your fertility if you want a future pregnancy.
Your symptoms taken seriously
Your history, symptoms and any past results are reviewed before a plan is suggested.
Options explained clearly
You will hear the benefits, limits and risks of each option, including simply monitoring.
Care that stays connected
Reviews are planned around your diagnosis, how treatment is working and any plans for pregnancy.
What a proper assessment gives you
- A clear cause for your bleeding
- Checks for anaemia, with treatment if needed
- Options that fit your plans for pregnancy
How your care is planned
Each step is designed to answer what is causing your symptoms, what matters most to you, and what to do next. The plan is reviewed as results come in.
Talk through your bleeding pattern and health
Arrange a blood count, hormone tests and an ultrasound
Agree treatment, from tablets to minor procedures
Treatment options
Options include tablets taken during your period to reduce flow, hormonal treatments such as the hormonal coil, and iron for anaemia. Polyps and some fibroids can be removed by hysteroscopy. For women who have completed their family, other procedures may be discussed.
Who may benefit
Women with heavy, prolonged or painful periods, bleeding between periods or after sex, or any bleeding after menopause. Bleeding after menopause should always be checked promptly. It also helps women with heavy periods and anaemia who feel tired all the time.
What to expect
Your first visit includes a conversation about your bleeding and an examination if needed. A scan and blood tests are usually arranged. Where needed, a hysteroscopy or biopsy may be advised to check the womb lining.

You will always know why a test or treatment is being suggested. Women see him from Kuala Lumpur and across Malaysia, and some travel from neighbouring countries.

Bringing these helps Dr Jasdev see the full picture and make the most of your visit. If you cannot find everything, bring what you have.
- A diary of your bleeding, including days and heaviness
- Previous blood counts or scan reports
- A list of medicines, including any blood thinners
