When you know the source–the root cause of your heavy periods–you can confidently choose a treatment pathway that supports you.
Things can be scary when you're in the dark
Despite all the pain and suffering it causes, you’ll be relieved to know that Abnormal Uterine Bleeding is rarely a sign of cancer for premenopausal women.1
These are the most common causes of AUB in women of reproductive age:
If you have heavy menstrual bleeding with regular menstrual cycles and no other causes can be identified, you may be diagnosed with Endometrial dysfunction, or AUB-E.
This diagnosis suggests there are irregularities in hormone levels during the shedding and repairing of the Endometrium, which can lead to endometrial tissue that is thicker than normal, resulting in a heavy and long period, often with large blood clots.
AUB-E is an exclusion diagnosis. Meaning, fibroids and polyps (and other common causes) have been ruled out as the cause of AUB.

Meet Minerva ESFibroids are dense growths and can be within the walls of the uterus, outside the uterine cavity, or protrude into the uterine cavity. They are muscle and fibrous connective tissue and are generally smooth and rounded in appearance.
You may have a single fibroid that is tiny and have no symptoms. Or you may have a big fibroid that is larger than your actual uterus and have pain in your back and legs. You can even have clusters of them.
And they’re not soft. They can be hard like a baseball or golf ball. Consider the size of your uterus (approximately 3” x 2” x 1”) and its location (nested next to your colon and intestines and on top of your bladder) and now you can imagine how fibroids cause so many problems.
Those intense cramps and aches are not your imagination.
According to the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology:2
Good news. Living fibroid-free is no fantasy.
Meet SymphionA breakthrough in the treatment of fibroids.
Uterine polyps are composed of endometrial cells and grow in response to circulating estrogen. They form on the lining of the uterine cavity and are attached to the uterine wall by a large base or a thin stalk. While they usually remain inside your uterus, they can sometimes be found in your cervical canal, vagina or blocking your fallopian tubes.
(Remember your uterus is approximately 3” x 2” x 1”)
Polyps can be removed using fast, safe, minimally-invasive, in-office treatments
