Menorrhagia

Menorrhagia, or heavy menstrual bleeding, is another name for it. The very heavy menstrual flow is what is regarded as an abnormal uterine bleeding. Menorrhagia is typically brought on by hormonal imbalances, anovulation, structural abnormalities in the reproductive tract, and tumours in the reproductive tract. Menstrual bleeding lasts more than seven days in this case, and blood flow is greater than 80 ml. Anaemia, exhaustion, myalgia, and shortness of breath are complications of menorrhagia. Depending on the underlying cause, several drugs are used to treat menorrhagia. However, the drugs that are taken the most frequently are

• Birth control pills
• Tranexamic acid
• Danazol
• Progesterone
• Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
