Irregular bleeding, also called abnormal uterine bleeding (which includes heavy periods, spotting, menstrual cycle changes, missing periods, and bleeding after menopause), affects women and people with menstrual cycles in all phases from menstruation to menopause. All Alpha Providers are specially trained in women’s health and can help determine the cause of your symptoms to give you personalized, whole-person treatment and care.
The following symptoms are considered irregular bleeding, or abnormal uterine bleeding:
First, we’ll ask you a few questions about your medical history and your symptoms. Information about when you experience irregular bleeding and the amount is helpful to have on hand. Keeping track of your periods and when you experience irregular bleeding (including dates, length, and amount of bleeding) on a calendar can help you take charge of your health.
Depending on your health condition and symptoms, your Alpha Provider may coordinate some lab tests and/or imaging to determine the cause of irregular bleeding or periods. After your lab results are ready, your Alpha Provider will create a personalized treatment plan with you.
If you’re currently experiencing a severe or sudden onset of heavy bleeding (for example, saturating more than one pad or tampon an hour for more than 3 hours), you should seek in-person care as soon as possible. An Alpha Provider will be able to diagnose and treat you after your condition has stabilized.
Any changes that you notice in your menstrual cycle, unexpected bleeding, or pain deserve care. With Alpha, you can receive care discreetly, on your schedule.
Most often, hormonal contraceptives are the first approach to treating irregular or heavy menstrual bleeding. Alpha offers several evidence-based medications, including some hormonal, non-contraceptive options. Your medication may be covered by your insurance plan - expand below for details. Shipping is always free when you choose our partner pharmacy to have your medication delivered to your door.
