Abnormally heavy menstrual periods caused by blood-thinning medications, such as Aspirin and Warfarin.
Typical Symptoms of Drug-Induced Menorrhagia
- Excessively heavy periods
- Abnormal period length or flow
- Taking blood-thinning medications
- Abnormal menstrual cycles e.g. too early or too late
- Bleeding in between menstrual cycles / periods or after menopause
- On psychiatric medications or sleeping pills
- Lower eyelid looks pale when pulled down
- Painful menstrual cramps
Diagnostic Questions for Drug-Induced Menorrhagia
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Do you have heavy menstrual bleeding or clots?
- Have your periods become longer or heavier than usual?
- Are you taking any blood thinning medicine?
- Do you have irregular periods?
- Have you experienced vaginal bleeding or discharge outside of your periods or after menopause?
Treatment of Drug-Induced Menorrhagia
Life-threatening bleeding may require medication and blood transfusions, and in some cases even surgical treatment. Stopping the blood-thinning medications may be needed but the risks of doing so have to balanced against the reason for being on such medications (example - prevention of stroke or heart attacks). These risks and benefits should be discussed with the appropriate specialist. (RPC reviewer comment - you may want to add an additional section for drug induced abnormal uterine bleeding, as then hormonal contraception, copper IUD etc would need to be reviewed. This is a much more common clinical scenario than heavy bleeding on blood thinners)

What People Say about Ubie?

Male, 20s
My experience was great. I was worried, but the symptom checker helped me narrow down what it might be. I feel a little relieved compared to when I first started, and it gives me a starting point for what my symptoms could mean.
(Sep 27, 2024)
Male, 50s
The questions asked and possible causes seemed spot on, putting me at ease for a next-step solution.
(Sep 26, 2024)
Female, 40s
I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
