Hello,

Medical conditions that often cause dysfunctional uterine bleeding are Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

This is an endocrine disorder that causes a woman to produce an increased amount of sex hormones. This may lead to an imbalance in estrogen and progesterone, making the menstrual cycle irregular.

This can vary from a shorter cycle to prolonged, heavy periods with severe pain and blood clots.

Read about how the change of life affects your periods. Polycystic ovary syndrome disrupts the body's hormone balance and can therefore cause heavy periods.

Heavy periods or irregular frequent bleeding is more common in patients who are obese with PCOS.

Sometimes the small and primitive follicles produce enough estrogen to thicken the lining of the uterus but the compacting and balancing hormone, progesterone, is absent.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr AJEET SINGH, General & Family Physician
