Bleeding through pads, periods twice a month, or a cycle you can never predict? Heavy or irregular bleeding almost always has a findable cause — and real relief once it’s clear.
Periods are different for everyone, so it helps to know what’s worth checking. A period is usually called heavy if you’re changing a pad or tampon every hour or two, passing large clots, bleeding for more than seven days, or feeling tired and breathless from the blood loss. It’s called irregular when the gap between periods keeps changing, when you skip months, or when bleeding comes between periods. In Hindi many women describe it simply as "mahwari zyada aana" or "period time pe nahi aana".
These are among the most common reasons women come to Dr. Agarwal — and rarely a sign of anything dangerous. But heavy bleeding can quietly pull down your iron and leave you exhausted, and a changing cycle can be your body’s way of flagging something worth understanding. Either way, you don’t have to just put up with it.
A useful test: if your period is interrupting your work, sleep, studies or daily life — flooding, leaking, or keeping you home — that’s reason enough to get it checked, whatever the numbers say. You know your own normal, and a change from it is what matters.

It’s rarely a mystery once it’s looked into — and almost never your fault.
PCOS, thyroid changes, or the natural swings of adolescence and perimenopause can all upset the timing and amount of your bleeding.
Harmless growths in or on the uterus (fibroids, polyps) are a very common cause of heavy periods — and there are good, keyhole ways to treat them.
Thyroid problems, low iron, certain medicines, an IUD, or occasionally the uterine lining itself — each has its own simple treatment once identified.
Quick, comfortable and explained in plain words — so you leave knowing why.
Finding the reason is the whole game — treatment is straightforward once the cause is clear. Dr. Agarwal works through a short, unhurried set of steps and shows you what she sees.
When periods changed, how heavy, how often, and how it’s affecting your energy and daily life.
A painless scan checks the uterus and ovaries for fibroids, polyps or cysts — done right in the clinic.
Haemoglobin (for iron), thyroid and hormones where needed — to catch anaemia and hormone causes.
Everything put together into one clear plan, matched to whether you want relief, fertility, or both.
From simple medicine to keyhole surgery — always the least you need, never more.
Often the cycle can be settled and heavy bleeding reduced with tablets or hormone support — no surgery, and reversible if you’re planning a baby.
If a fibroid, polyp or thyroid problem is behind it, treating that directly fixes the bleeding — including correcting low iron so you feel yourself again.
When a procedure helps, Dr. Agarwal is trained in hysteroscopy and laparoscopy — keyhole techniques with small cuts and a quick recovery.

If your period is soaking a pad every hour or two, lasting more than seven days, coming with large clots, leaving you tired or breathless, or if your cycle has clearly changed from your normal — it’s worth a check. Bleeding between periods or after intercourse should always be checked.
No — most causes are common and very treatable, like hormone shifts, fibroids or thyroid changes. The main risk of ignoring it is quietly becoming anaemic (low iron), which is easily corrected once found.
Usually not. Many women settle completely with medicine or by treating a simple cause. Keyhole procedures are available when they genuinely help, but they’re never the automatic first step.
They can, because they can make ovulation harder to predict — but this is often very treatable. Once the cause is understood, many women conceive naturally or with simple help. Dr. Agarwal has helped 300+ women achieve pregnancy without IVF.
Missed periods have many causes, from stress and weight change to PCOS, thyroid or (of course) pregnancy. It’s worth checking rather than guessing — a quick visit usually gives a clear answer.
