Metrorragia Treatment in Indore

What is Metrorrhagia?

Abnormal uterine bleeding occurring between regular menstrual periods is termed metrorrhagia.

It is unrelated to the usual menstrual cycle of women and might occur at any time.

It can be light spotting or heavy flow, and the bleeding may last for several days or longer.

In other words, metrorrhagia is not a disease itself, but rather an indication that something is affecting the uterus, hormones, or reproductive system.

2. Irregular heavy bleeding
