Menorrhagia from a Holistic Perspective

Menorrhagia, also known as hypermenorrhea, is a condition characterized by excessive and/or prolonged menstrual bleeding. Normal menstrual flow lasts 4 to 5 days and about 30 to 40 ml of blood is lost in each cycle. However, in menorrhagia bleeding lasts for more than 7 days and/or is much heavier than usual for the individual (blood loss of more than 80 ml). This occurs more commonly in young women, during the first 12 to 18 months after their first menstrual period (menarche), and in women approaching menopause. About 10 to 20 percent of all menstruating women in the US experience menorrhagia, at some point in their lives.

Menorrhagia Causes

Although the exact cause of menorrhagia is not known, it can be caused by hormonal imbalance. The hormonal imbalance most commonly occurs due to improper use of hormone medications, such as birth-control pills. Other causes may include:

• Non-cancerous growths, called polyps, on the cervix or inside the uterus
• Non-cancerous tumors, called fibroids, on the uterus
• Cyst in the ovary
• Cancer of the uterus, ovary or cervix
• Miscarriage
• Pregnancy developing in the fallopian tubes (tubal or ectopic pregnancy)
• Use of an intrauterine device (IUD) for birth control
• Chronic conditions such as thyroid disorders, diabetes and blood-clotting disorders
• Stress

Menorrhagia Symptoms

Menorrhagia is characterized by excessive bleeding (requiring change of sanitary napkins or tampons every hour) and/or prolonged bleeding. However, each individual may experience symptoms different manner. Other symptoms may include:

• Spotting or bleeding between menstrual periods
• Spotting or bleeding during pregnancy
• Passing large blood clots during the menstrual flow
• Pain or cramps in the lower abdomen
• Tiredness, fatigue or shortness of breath (symptoms of anemia)

How is it Menorrhagia Diagnosed?

The medical history, symptoms and a gynecological examination are usually sufficient to diagnose this condition. However, your physician may also recommend diagnostic tests, such as:

• Ultrasound of pelvis
• Blood test to measure levels of hormones like prolactin, estradiol, thyroid hormones and FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone)
• Microscopic examination of a tissue sample from the uterus (Endometrial biopsy)
• Dilatation and Curettage (D&C)
• Telescopic examination of the uterus and ovaries (Laparoscopy and hysteroscopy)

Allopathic treatments for Menorrhagia include NSAIDs - ibuprofen (Advil), naproxen (Aleve) and Analgesics - acetaminophen (Tylenol). However these Allopathic treatments do not cure Menorrhagia. They are merely a way of suppressing symptoms and prolong use may be harmful for other organs as well.

NSAIDs have severe side-effects that increase with dosage and strength. These include ringing in the ears, gastric ulcers, cardiovascular problems, gastrointestinal bleeding and liver or kidney damage.

Prolonged use of strong analgesics can cause liver damage. Moreover, these offer only temporary relief and problems may recur every month.

But to treat menorrhagia effectively, it is essential to address the reasons your body does not produce hormones in a balanced manner in the first place.
