Understanding Menorrhagia and Treatment
Menorrhagia, or heavy menstrual bleeding, is a common condition that affects many women. If you experience prolonged periods lasting more than seven days, or if you find that your flow is excessively heavy, you may be suffering from Menorrhagia. This condition can lead to feelings of frustration, fatigue, and even depression. It can interfere with daily activities, making it important to seek medical treatment promptly. Dr. Shreya Prabhoo, a renowned Consultant Obstetrician and Gynecologist in Mumbai specialises in diagnosing and treating Menorrhagia with compassionate care.
Causes of Menorrhagia
The causes of Menorrhagia can vary and may include :
- Hormonal Imbalances : Disruptions in the balance of oestrogen and progesterone, often caused by conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), can result in heavy bleeding.
- Uterine Fibroids : Non-cancerous growths in the uterus that can lead to heavier and prolonged periods.
- Adenomyosis : A condition where the inner lining of the uterus breaks through the muscle wall, causing heavy bleeding and pain.
- Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) : An infection in the reproductive organs that may cause excessive bleeding.
- Thyroid Disorders or Other Medical Conditions : Hypothyroidism, diabetes, and bleeding disorders can also contribute to Menorrhagia.
Symptoms of Menorrhagia
Common symptoms of Menorrhagia include :
- Excessive Bleeding : Soaking through one or more sanitary pads or tampons every hour for several hours.
- Prolonged Periods : Periods lasting more than seven days.
- Fatigue or Weakness : Due to the loss of blood, many women experience fatigue and a lack of energy.
- Pain : Severe cramping or discomfort in the lower abdomen.
- Interference with Daily Life : Due to heavy bleeding, work, school, and social activities may be negatively impacted.
