Prolonged or heavy menstruation is called menorrhagia. Criteria for diagnosis: the duration of menstruation is more than seven days, as well as an abundance of which a pad with a capacity of 3 drops is completely filled in 1-2 hours, or the presence of clots in diameter 3 cm or more in the discharge, an obstetrician-gynecologist of the institute of reproductive medicine to socialbites.ca He told Maria Selikhova the remedy.
Malignant growths can cause menorrhagia or excessive discharge during menstruation. It can often be endometrial or cervical cancer.
“The menorrhagia is dangerous because the quality of life of the woman decreases and anemia develops. If menorrhagia is observed for several months, then this is already chronic anemia. Menorrhagia is a symptom of an unfavorable condition of the pelvic organs. It can indicate the hyperplastic process of the endometrium (polyp, hyperplasia), uterine cancer, ovarian cyst, endometriosis, impaired uterine pregnancy and ectopic pregnancy, ”Selikhova said.
According to the doctor, all women and even young girls are at risk. However, the disease is especially dangerous for women with polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis and uterine fibroids, overweight, a history of insulin resistance or type II diabetes.
“Among the methods of diagnosing menorrhagia, there are stages 5-9 of the cycle. For treatment, hemostatic therapy, hysteroscopy, and separate therapeutic and diagnostic curettage are used,” he said.
If a pathology of the uterus and ovaries is suspected, diagnostic procedures are performed: ultrasound of the pelvic organs, hysteroscopy, biopsy of the cervix, curettage and analysis of endometrial tissue. Cytological analysis of Pap smear is done to detect precancerous or cancerous cells in the cervix.
