What is Heavy Menstrual Bleeding?
Heavy menstrual bleeding, also known as menorrhagia, refers to menstrual periods that are unusually heavy, prolonged, or both. This condition can lead to anemia, weakness, and disruption of everyday activities. It may occur due to hormonal imbalances, uterine fibroids, polyps, adenomyosis, or other gynecological conditions.
Common symptoms include:
- Menstrual bleeding lasting longer than seven days
- Soaking through pads or tampons every one to two hours
- Passing large blood clots during periods
- Fatigue, dizziness, or shortness of breath caused by anemia
Treatment depends on the underlying cause and severity. While medications or hormonal therapies are often tried first, surgery such as hysterectomy may be advised when symptoms are severe or do not respond to conservative management.
