Menorrhagia, also known as heavy menstrual bleeding, is a condition in which a woman experiences unusually heavy or prolonged menstrual periods. It can interfere with daily activities, cause fatigue, and may indicate an underlying medical condition. While occasional heavy periods can occur, persistent excessive bleeding should be evaluated by a healthcare professional.
Menorrhagia is characterized by menstrual bleeding that is heavier than normal or lasts longer than seven days. Women with this condition may need to change sanitary pads or tampons every hour for several consecutive hours or pass large blood clots during their period.
