Abnormal Uterine Bleeding Hub

← Back to Services

Welcome to Australia's first Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (AUB) Hub.

What is AUB?

Abnormal uterine bleeding includes any bleeding that is irregular, unexpectedly heavy, prolonged, or occurring between periods or after menopause. It’s one of the most common gynaecological presentations — and one of the most underestimated.

You may have been told heavy periods are “just normal.” They’re not. AUB can significantly affect your energy, mental health, relationships, and quality of life. It can also lead to iron deficiency anaemia, which compounds fatigue and makes everything harder.

You don’t need to just push through. We can help.

AUB may include:

  • Heavy menstrual bleeding

  • Periods lasting longer than 7 days

  • Bleeding between periods or after sex

  • Irregular cycles

  • Bleeding after menopause

Our Services

Our AUB Hub brings together specialist gynaecology, diagnostic services, procedural care, iron infusion therapy, and allied health support - all under one roof in Frenchs Forest.

Specialist consultation

You care beins with a thorough consultation to understand your history, symptoms, and what matters most to you. We take time to listen.

Investigations & diagnosis
Getting the right answer starts with the right investigation. We offer:

  • Pelvic ultrasound, including point-of-care ultrasound for immediate results during your visit

  • Endometrial biopsy

  • Colposcopy

  • Blood tests including full blood count and iron studies

  • Hysteroscopy (out-patient service starting 17/11/2026)

Medical management
Not every treatment involves surgery. We’ll discuss options including hormonal therapies and the Mirena IUD, which can significantly reduce or stop heavy bleeding for many women.

Iron infusion therapy
Heavy menstrual bleeding is a leading cause of iron deficiency anaemia in women of reproductive age — yet the connection is frequently missed or undertreated. We offer in-clinic iron infusions to restore iron stores safely and effectively, often with noticeable improvement in energy and wellbeing within days to weeks.
(See below for more on iron infusions.)

Procedural care
For women requiring intervention beyond medication, we offer minimally invasive procedures in-clinic, including IUD insertion and removal, and colposcopy.

Surgical options
When surgery is the right path, Dr Uppal offers the full range of minimally invasive and advanced surgical treatments, including:

  • Endometrial ablation

  • Removal of fibroids and polyps

  • Laparoscopic surgery

  • Endometriosis management

  • Hysterectomy

Allied health support
The impact of AUB isn’t only physical. Our multidisciplinary team includes pelvic floor physiotherapy and psychological support, because whole-person care produces better outcomes.

At Women’s Health Road, we’ve built something that didn’t exist in Australia until now - a dedicated, multidisciplinary hub for women experiencing Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (AUB) and Heavy Menstrual Bleeding (HMB).

Whether your periods have always been heavy, or something has changed, you deserve answers, real options, and care that works around your life - not the other way around.

Iron infusions for iron deficiency anaemia

Iron deficiency is one of the most common — and most treatable — consequences of heavy menstrual bleeding. Despite this, many women spend years fatigued, breathless, or struggling to concentrate without knowing why.

Oral iron supplements work for mild deficiency, but they are often poorly tolerated and slow to rebuild depleted stores. Intravenous (IV) iron infusion delivers iron directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the gut and allowing the body to replenish stores much more efficiently.

What to expect:
Iron infusions are administered in our clinic by experienced staff in a comfortable, monitored setting. The infusion typically takes between 30 minutes and a few hours, depending on the product and dose. Most women tolerate infusions well and can return to normal activities the same day.

You may benefit from an iron infusion if you:

  • Have been told your iron or ferritin levels are low

  • Experience fatigue, brain fog, breathlessness, or heart palpitations

  • Have not responded well to oral iron supplementation

  • Have heavy periods or AUB that has persisted over time

Iron infusion therapy at the AUB Hub is integrated with your overall care plan — we address the bleeding and the consequences of it.

For GPs: referring to the AUB Hub

We welcome referrals from GPs for women with abnormal or heavy uterine bleeding, whether the presentation is straightforward or complex.

What we offer your patients:

  • Specialist gynaecological assessment with Dr Talat Uppal

  • Diagnostic workup including pelvic ultrasound, endometrial biopsy, and blood tests

  • Medical, procedural, and surgical management

  • Iron infusion therapy for iron deficiency anaemia secondary to AUB/HMB

  • Pelvic floor physiotherapy and psychological support

  • Timely, integrated care — your patients won’t be bounced between providers

Referring is simple. A standard referral letter addressed to the required provider is all that’s required. Please include current medications, relevant investigations, and any previous gynaecological history where available.

Why choose our hub?

  • The first of its kind in Australia - purpose-built for AUB, not an add-on to a general practice

  • All under one roof - no referral loops between separate providers

  • Immediate diagnostics - point-of-care ultrasound means answers at your visit, not weeks later

  • Out-patient hysteroscopy - starting on-site from 17/11/2026

  • Iron infusion therapy on-site - treating the whole picture, not just the bleeding

  • Specialist-led, team-delivered - expert care with allied health support built in

  • Digitally enhanced - streamlined booking, communication, and care coordination

  • A clinic that gets it - we know AUB has been underserved for too long, and we built something better
