Book an AppointmentThere can be many causes of abnormal uterine bleeding. One major cause is structural abnormalities in the uterus, which are in the form of fibroids, which are a benign overgrowth of the muscle of the uterus. Another important cause is polyps, which are benign overgrowths of the lining of the uterus or on the cervix. Uterine cancer or cervical cancer constitutes an important cause as well.
There are non-structural causes of abnormal uterine bleeding also. Bleeding disorders such as platelet dysfunction can cause abnormal bleeding. Early pregnancies can have some bleeding associated with them, typical of implantation bleeding or low-lying placenta.
Polycystic ovary syndrome may cause your periods to come at different times or no periods at all, due to hormonal imbalance. Rarely, women who are going into menopause or are in menopause are more apt to have changes in hormones, which can alter the lining of the uterus and cause bleeding.
