Many women at some stage in their life will experience problems with their reproductive system and often this takes the form of abnormal bleeding. This seems to be topical at the moment with many reports of women experiencing ‘hemorrhagic events’ or ‘messed-up cycles’ in relation to so-called shedding from people who have had a certain injection.  I’m still learning more about this phenomenon. Haven’t enough information yet to advise specifically but as with anything in homeopathy, we work with the symptoms.

What follows is some general advice on uterine bleeding.

Uterine bleeding can have various forms including heavy and prolonged periods,  inter-menstrual bleeding , peri-menopausal flooding.

Possible causes include:

hormonal disturbances
ectopic pregnancy
miscarriage or threatening miscarriage
thyroid, pituitary gland or adrenal gland problems
structural abnormalities (e.g. fibroids, polyps or disordered size or position of uterus)
inflammatory conditions
bleeding disorder
sexually transmitted disease
cancer
use of medications (such as blood thinners)

Do seek a proper diagnosis
Unexplained bleeding and/or pain should always be checked out

Homeopathy can be useful for any of these situations. There are some situations where it appropriate for home prescribers to use remedies especially for acute treatment. 
Constitutional treatment with a professional homeopath may be needed as well.

The following are some remedies that might be helpful.
