Heavy menstrual bleeding, also known as menorrhagia, refers to abnormally heavy or prolonged menstrual periods. If you're experiencing frequent changing of pads or tampons (every 1-2 hours), large blood clots, or periods lasting more than 7 days, you might be dealing with HMB.

Causes of Heavy Menstrual Bleeding
HMB can be caused by a variety of factors such as:

Hormonal imbalance: An imbalance in estrogen and progesterone can cause the uterine lining to build up excessively, leading to heavier periods.

Uterine fibroids: Non-cancerous growths in the uterus can result in increased bleeding.

Endometriosis: The growth of uterine-like tissue outside the uterus often causes severe bleeding and pain.

Blood clotting disorders: Conditions like Von Willebrand disease can contribute to heavy bleeding.

Medications: Certain medications like anticoagulants (blood thinners) may increase menstrual flow.

Symptoms of Heavy Menstrual Bleeding:
Bleeding that lasts more than a week
Passing large blood clots
Needing to change protection frequently (every 1-2 hours)
Fatigue or shortness of breath due to blood loss (anemia)
Treatment Options

Medications:
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen can help reduce flow. Hormonal therapies like birth control pills or hormonal IUDs are often prescribed to regulate cycles and decrease bleeding.
Surgical options: In severe cases, procedures like endometrial ablation or even hysterectomy may be recommended.

If you're experiencing symptoms of heavy menstrual bleeding, it’s important to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.
