Menorrhagia can lead to a lot of stress, affecting your normal lifestyle.

Menorrhagia or heavy periods can often be a sign that your body needs help in battling a hormonal imbalance or an underlying gynecological disorder.

Menorrhagia or heavy bleeding during periods is a common condition, affecting anywhere between 10 to 15% of women in India.

Menorrhagia is associated with heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding. It can be caused by hormonal imbalance, abnormal growth, or other changes to the uterus. It can also be due to problems with your blood’s ability to clot or due to a pelvic inflammatory disease.

Common signs of menorrhagia

  • Bleeding that lasts longer than 7 days, 
  • Losing more than 80 ml of blood during periods instead of the normal of 35-40 ml.
  • Need to change pads or tampons every 1-2 hours.
  • Large blood clots on the pad or tampon.
  • Feeling exhausted, fatigued, and short of breath.

Possible causes of menorrhagia are:

Hormone-related problems include: Imbalance of estrogen and progesterone or other hormones

1. Problems with the uterus which include Fibroids (non-cancerous), cancer of the uterus or cervix, pregnancy problems (such as a miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy), or use of an intrauterine device (IUD)

2. Other disorders include Willebrand disease (VWD) or platelet function disorder. liver, kidney, or thyroid disease; pelvic inflammatory disease and cancer.

Menorrhagia is the medical term for menstrual periods with significantly heavy or prolonged bleeding.

Heavy bleeding during periods is very common, affecting anywhere up to 54% of women across all cultures and socio-economic backgrounds.

Menorrhagia can be caused by hormonal imbalance, abnormal growth, or other changes in the uterus. It can also be due to problems with your blood’s ability to clot, due to a pelvic inflammatory disease, or even due to  certain medications.

Sometimes heavy periods may go away on their own, but often they can be a sign that your body needs help in battling a hormonal imbalance, an underlying health issue or even stress.

Left untreated, menorrhagia can interfere with your life. Also, heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding can cause iron deficiency anemia which can leave you feeling weak, tired or out of breath.

It’s always good to talk to a doctor because menorrhagia or heavy menstrual bleeding can be a sign of an underlying health condition.

Ayurvedic treatment options for menorrhagia include management with ayurvedic medications and in some cases the treatment may include detox therapies like panchakarma.

The treatment regimen for menorrhagia consists of a combination of internal medications and in few cases medications for external application. In addition, doctors would advise on simple diet and lifestyle modifications.

Ayurveda medications are usually a very safe and effective option for treating menorrhagia.

Consultations at UWAY can last anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes. We require most of the medical records related to the current problem, the medicines you are on currently and for pre-existing conditions for diabetes, hypertension, thyroid, cardiac issues etc.
