Heavy menstrual bleeding, medically known as menorrhagia, is a condition where periods are excessively heavy or prolonged, often interfering with daily life. While occasional changes in flow can be normal, consistently heavy bleeding should not be overlooked as it may indicate an underlying health issue.
With a patient-first approach, Dr. Aishwarya Parulekar Pai provides accurate diagnosis and personalised treatment plans based on individual needs. Common causes of heavy menstrual bleeding may include:
- Hormonal imbalance
- Uterine fibroids
- Endometriosis
- Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
- Thyroid disorders
Treatment focuses on identifying the root cause and may include medications, hormonal therapy, lifestyle modifications, or minimally invasive procedures when required. The goal is to reduce bleeding, restore hormonal balance, and improve overall quality of life.
⚠️ When to Seek Help: If you experience periods lasting longer than 7 days, need to change pads/tampons frequently, pass large blood clots, or feel fatigue and dizziness, it’s important to consult a specialist promptly.
Regain control over your menstrual health with expert care and the right treatment approach.
