Heavy Periods (Menorrhagia) -Introduction.

Description:

Menorrhagia is the heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding, which in many cases disrupts the normal functioning of the person and causes fatigue or anaemia. It may be caused by hormonal imbalance, structural issues in the uterus or underlying health disorders. Women who bleed heavily can pass large clots, or a pad or tampon may need to be changed now and then. It is imperative to undertake early evaluation to avoid complications.

Causes of Menorrhagia

Hormonal Disproportions: due to the changes of estrogen and progesterone, one may experience heavy or prolonged bleeding.

Uterine Fibroids: The benign tumours in the uterus that cause the appearance of more menstrual blood.

Polyps are Benign tumours of the uterine lining.

Adenomyosis: The thickening of the uterine wall that brings about intense bleeding.

Bleeding Disorders: Diseases such as von Willebrand disease, which have an impact on blood clotting.

Drugs: Blood coagulants or hormones can make people bleed.
