Researchers at Stanford University are conducting a study to better understand heavy menstrual bleeding by examining blood flow in the uterine artery using non-invasive ultrasound. (IRB approved)

The goal of this research is to improve our understanding of the amount of menstrual blood loss in different people.

Study procedures include:

• Tracking menstrual blood loss during one menstrual cycle
• Three non-invasive abdominal ultrasound examinations
• Completion of menstrual health questionnaires
• A small blood sample collected as part of the research

Compensation:
Participants who complete the study may receive compensation of up to $500.

You may be eligible if you:

• Are 18–55 years old
• Experience heavy menstrual bleeding, such as:
  • Needing to change pads or tampons every 1–2 hours
  • Waking at night to change menstrual products
  • Periods lasting longer than 7 days
  • Passing large blood clots
  • Have been diagnosed with or suspect heavy menstrual bleeding

The study involves three in-person visits to Stanford University during one menstrual cycle.

Hi everyone,

I’m a PhD researcher at UC San Diego working on a menstrual health research study focused on heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB). Our goal is to better understand the relationship between blood flow and actual menstrual blood loss.

Participants will receive:

• Detailed tracking and estimation of menstrual blood loss during one cycle
• Abdominal ultrasound scans to evaluate uterine artery blood flow
• Research-related monitoring of menstrual symptoms
• Compensation for participation (up to $500)

You may qualify if you experience symptoms such as:

• Soaking through pads/tampons every 1–2 hours
• Needing to change menstrual products during the night
• Periods lasting longer than 7 days
• Large blood clots or very heavy flow
• Diagnosed or suspected adenomyosis, fibroids, or heavy menstrual bleeding

The study requires 3 in-person visits at UC San Diego during one menstrual cycle.

If you are interested or would like more information, please feel free to email me at yil308@ucsd.edu. Thank you!
