Causes of menorrhagia
The cause of menorrhagia or heavy periods can be attributed to the fluctuations in the level of hormones. Hormones like estrogen and progesterone helps in maintaining the menstrual cycle and thickening of uterine walls. Hormonal imbalances during teenage and menopausal period can thus lead to menorrhagia.
Menorrhagia can be caused due to blood clotting irregularities as well. Other causes include fibroids in uterus, uterine cancer, endometrial polyps, increased stress, weight fluctuations, pregnancy related irregularities and infections in reproductive organs.
The treatment for heavy periods is decided based on the causal factor. The treatment procedure involves medications and other medical procedures.
  • Medications
The treatment of heavy periods in women and girls within the reproductive age includes medications. Medicines like NSAIDs (Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) helps in lightening the period flow and reducing the pain associated with it. Hormonal therapy helps in restoring the hormone balance in cases where heavy periods are caused due to fluctuations in hormone levels.
  • Medical procedures
The medical procedures are done with the goal of removing the endometrial lining which causes the bleeding. This is done with the help of procedures like ablation or dilation and curettage. In cases where severe bleeding associated with menopause, that cannot be controlled by other procedure, hysterectomy is done.
