Bleeding during a regular menstrual period should last between 2 and 5 days. Bleeding for longer or less than this time (having a very short or long menstrual cycle) constitutes abnormal bleeding.
Excessively light or very heavy periods (menorrhagia), absence of a period (amenorrhea) or bleeding between periods (metrorrhagia) also fall under the category of abnormal bleeding.
There are several different conditions that have abnormal bleeding as a symptom, including endometriosis, irregular hormone levels (oestrogen, progesterone, insulin, or thyroid hormones), contraceptive methods, PCOS, cysts, fibroids, pregnancy, miscarriage, or functional uterine problems.
You should make an appointment to see one of our doctors if you have any of the following symptoms:
If you are not sure whether your periods are regular, it can be helpful to use a period tracker or to keep notes in your calendar to record the first day of your bleed each month, the length of your bleeds, and any symptoms of pain, water retention, swollen or sore breasts, or emotional symptoms.

A coil is inserted by one of our Specialist Nurses. Before your coil insertion, you’ll have a 45-minute consultation and assessment by telephone. Your coil insertion appointment will then be organised at our Central London clinic and the procedure will take around 45-minutes.
The procedure itself is quick and easy. You might experience some period-like pain and cramps which might continue for a few hours following and occasionally some period-like spotting or bleeding. However, the procedure itself is very quick and relatively painless.
Enquire with your GP directly. They can provide specific information based on the tests performed and their typical timelines for delivering results.
