PGI Expert: Abnormal Uterine Bleeding is Often Overlooked
Sometimes, women have bleeding from their uterus that isn't part of their regular period.
This is called abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB).
Many women don't realize they have it, so doctors want to raise awareness.
A doctor at PGI talked about AUB to help women.
AUB can make you feel tired and can lead to low blood pressure.
Often, when women are pregnant, they may be found to have anemia.
This might be related to earlier abnormal bleeding, not just the pregnancy.
It's important to get checked by a doctor if you notice anything unusual.
Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) affects many women, yet is often overlooked.
Symptoms of AUB include heavier, longer, or irregular bleeding.
Prof. Pooja Sikka organized a talk to bring attention to the subject.
