What is Heavy Bleeding?
Heavy bleeding, also known as menorrhagia, is characterized by abnormally heavy or prolonged periods. It can include excessive blood flow, passing large blood clots, and bleeding that lasts longer than usual.
What Causes Heavy Bleeding?
Yes, certain types of birth control, such as combination birth control pills or hormonal IUDs, can help regulate menstrual cycles and reduce heavy bleeding. Consult with a gynecologist to determine the best contraceptive option for your specific situation.

Our Treatment Options for Heavy Bleeding
Minerva
At InVogue Rejuvenation, we offer Minerva ES®, an advanced, FDA-approved endometrial ablation procedure designed to significantly reduce or even stop heavy menstrual bleeding. Using PlasmaSense™ technology (a combination of plasma energy, heat, and gentle radiofrequency), this treatment precisely removes the uterine lining where bleeding originates. The procedure takes less than four minutes, requires no incisions or stitches, and is performed in our office for your convenience.
Combination Birth Control Pills
Combination oral contraceptives contain both estrogen and progestin to regulate menstrual cycles and reduce excessive bleeding. By balancing hormone levels and preventing the uterine lining from building up too much between periods, these pills can make cycles lighter and more predictable. They also offer the added benefit of reducing menstrual cramps and improving cycle-related symptoms.
Hormonal IUD
A hormonal intrauterine device (IUD) offers a long-term, reversible way to manage heavy menstrual bleeding. By releasing a steady dose of progestin directly into the uterus, a hormonal IUD thins the uterine lining and reduces monthly blood flow, often by more than 90% after several months. It can remain in place for years, making it a convenient, low-maintenance choice for women who prefer a non-surgical approach with reliable results.
Dilation and Curettage (D&C)
Dilation and Curettage (D&C) is a brief, minimally invasive procedure that removes the uterine lining to quickly alleviate heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding. This treatment can reduce flow, shorten the duration of bleeding, and improve comfort for women whose symptoms have not improved with medication.
When performed alongside hysteroscopy, D&C allows our team to both diagnose the underlying cause of bleeding and address it during the same visit, helping restore menstrual balance and quality of life.
What to Expect During Treatment for Heavy Bleeding
From your first consultation to your final follow-up, our goal is to make your treatment experience as smooth and comfortable as possible.
Your Initial Visit
We’ll review your medical history, discuss your symptoms, and recommend the most effective treatment options for your unique needs. If diagnostic procedures like hysteroscopy or D&C are recommended, we’ll explain them in detail.
Diagnostic Procedures
If your symptoms suggest heavy menstrual bleeding, we may recommend one or more diagnostic procedures to identify the underlying cause and guide your treatment plan.
- Hysteroscopy: A hysteroscopy allows us to view the inside of your uterus using a slender device equipped with a camera and light. This minimally invasive procedure can help detect fibroids, polyps, abnormal tissue, or other changes that may be contributing to heavy bleeding. In many cases, treatment can be performed during the same procedure.
- Dilation and Curettage (D&C): A D&C is a brief procedure that gently removes tissue from the uterine lining. This can help manage heavy bleeding, remove benign growths such as fibroids or polyps, and provide tissue samples for diagnosing conditions like endometrial hyperplasia or uterine cancer. When combined with hysteroscopy, D&C offers both diagnostic precision and therapeutic benefits in one visit.
The Procedure
Whether you choose Minerva ES® endometrial ablation, a hormonal option, or D&C, your treatment will be performed in our comfortable, state-of-the-art office. Most procedures are minimally invasive, require little to no downtime, and are completed in under an hour.
Recovery
You may experience mild cramping or spotting for a few days. Most patients return to normal activities within one to two days, with symptom improvement often noticeable by the next menstrual cycle.
Results
Your results will vary depending on your treatment choice, but many patients experience dramatically lighter periods—or no periods at all—along with reduced discomfort and improved energy levels.
