About our menstrual disorders clinic

We provide the highest quality evidence based service in our menstrual disorders clinics, specifically for women who are having problems with their periods.

Heavy menstrual bleeding is defined as excessive menstrual blood loss which interferes with a woman's physical, social, emotional and/or material quality of life. It can occur alone or in combination with other symptoms. You may also attend this clinic if you are suffering with periods that are:

  • Painful
  • Irregular
  • Absent, i.e. no period
  • Bleeding in-between periods (break through bleeding)
  • Bleeding during or after intercourse
