Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) is excessive menstrual blood loss which interferes with a woman's physical, emotional and social quality of life.
To avoid repeated visits to the hospital and lengthy waiting times for investigations, women over 40 with heavy or irregular vaginal bleeding referred to the Menstrual Clinic are able to have a scan, see a consultant, undergo a hysteroscopy if necessary and receive the results and plan of care immediately, all in a two hour appointment.
Please note that sometimes it is not possible to have the scan on the same day and you may need a second appointment. This service is led by Gynaecology Consultant Mr Vic Rai and his team.
Recently developed local and national guidelines determine the best ways women with these problems can be treated.
The full guideline can be accessed on the Oxfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group intranet (internal link for those with NHS access only):
Referral to secondary care is recommended:
