4. When to Call the Doctor
Women should seek medical care for unexplained changes in their menstrual cycle, such as heavier bleeding, longer periods, and bleeding between cycles. Postmenopausal women experiencing vaginal bleeding should contact their gynecologist.
Additionally, anyone experiencing trouble getting or staying pregnant should schedule an appointment with a specialist to rule out complications from uterine polyps in the uterus. The provider may conduct tests to check for polyps and related conditions that can cause fertility issues.
