Heavy periods
What counts as heavy, common causes, and when to get checked.
From ₹1,490 · sample collected at home
Soaking through protection every hour or two, passing clots, periods that drag past a week, or bleeding that limits your day - that's heavy menstrual bleeding, and it's worth understanding. Over time it can lower your iron levels, and it usually has a treatable cause.
Tvarvi helps you find out why - hormones, thyroid, fibroids or other reasons - and address it, so your periods feel manageable again.
Changing protection every hour or two, passing large clots, bleeding longer than seven days, or signs of low iron like fatigue and breathlessness. If your period disrupts daily life, it's worth a check.
Hormonal imbalance (including PCOS-related), thyroid changes, fibroids or polyps, and clotting or other medical conditions. The right tests and, where needed, a scan point to the cause.
Treatment depends on the cause - from correcting hormones or thyroid to managing fibroids. Options range from lifestyle and medication to procedures, which your gynaecologist will explain.
Blood tests collected at home, and advice on whether you need a pelvic scan, help show why bleeding is heavy before any treatment.
Your gynaecologist can add an iron test to your blood tests, collected at home, since heavy periods can lower iron over time.
From lifestyle to medication to referral, your plan matches the actual cause.
PCOS Assessment
₹1,490
A gynaecologist consult and the tests your symptoms need, collected at home.
If you change protection every hour or two, pass large clots, bleed longer than seven days, or feel tired and breathless, it's worth a consultation. Heavy bleeding can affect your iron levels over time.
PCOS more often causes infrequent periods, but when a period does come after a long gap it can be heavy. Hormonal imbalance is one of several causes worth testing for.
Typically hormone and thyroid tests, an iron and haemoglobin check, and often a pelvic ultrasound to look for fibroids or polyps - chosen for your case.
No. Many are managed with medication or by addressing the underlying hormonal or thyroid cause. Procedures are reserved for specific causes like certain fibroids, and only if simpler steps don't help.
Yes - regular heavy blood loss can lower iron over time, which is why your gynaecologist can add an iron test to your blood tests.
Not yet - we don't have a scan partner. If you need an ultrasound, your gynaecologist will tell you exactly which scan to get at a diagnostic centre near you, and then go through the report with you. Blood tests, including an iron test, we collect at your home.
