Menorrhagia (heavy menstrual bleeding) affects your quality of life significantly. If you're changing pads/tampons hourly, bleeding for more than 7 days, or experiencing clots larger than a 50c coin, you need evaluation.
Causes range from hormonal imbalances and fibroids to thyroid disorders and bleeding disorders. Treatment options include hormonal therapies, non-hormonal medications, and surgical interventions when necessary.
The Mirena IUD can be particularly effective for heavy bleeding. Don't let heavy periods control your life - effective treatments exist.
