Abnormal Uterine Bleeding

Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (AUB) is any bleeding from the uterus that is not typical for your normal menstrual period. This could mean bleeding that is too heavy, lasts too long, happens too often, or occurs between periods or after menopause. It's important to talk to a doctor if you experience AUB, as it can sometimes be a sign of an underlying health issue.
