When to See a Gynecologist for Irregular Bleeding

Written By Heather Bartos, MD

Irregular bleeding is common — but not always normal. At Be. Women’s Health in Frisco, TX, we help identify what’s behind sudden changes in your cycle.

See a gynecologist if you experience:
 ✔ Bleeding between periods
✔ Bleeding after sex
✔ Extremely heavy periods
✔ Periods closer than 21 days or longer than 35
✔ Any bleeding after menopause
✔ Sudden changes in flow or frequency

Possible causes include:

  • Hormonal shifts (stress, thyroid, perimenopause)

  • Fibroids or polyps

  • PCOS

  • Ovulation issues

  • Infections

  • Medications

  • Rarely, precancerous changes

What we do:
 A gentle pelvic exam, thyroid and hormone labs, ultrasound (if needed), and a personalized plan to regulate your cycle safely.

Irregular bleeding is your body’s way of asking for attention — and we’re here to help interpret the message.

Schedule an evaluation at Be. Women’s Health in Frisco.
