Menorrhagia, commonly known as heavy menstrual bleeding, is a condition where women experience excessive or prolonged menstrual flow that interferes with daily life. It may involve soaking through sanitary protection every hour, passing large blood clots, or bleeding for more than seven days. Causes of menorrhagia include hormonal imbalances, uterine fibroids, polyps, adenomyosis, thyroid disorders, or conditions like bleeding disorders. In some cases, it may result from complications in pregnancy or the use of intrauterine devices (IUDs).

Symptoms often include fatigue, weakness, and anemia due to significant blood loss. Diagnosis involves a detailed medical history, pelvic examination, blood tests, ultrasound, or hysteroscopy to identify the root cause. Treatment options depend on the severity and cause—ranging from hormonal therapy, iron supplements, and oral contraceptives to minimally invasive procedures like endometrial ablation or surgical interventions such as hysterectomy in severe cases.

Lifestyle changes, stress management, and maintaining a balanced diet rich in iron can help improve overall health and manage symptoms. Early diagnosis and personalized treatment are essential to prevent complications and restore menstrual balance, ensuring better reproductive and general well-being.
