What is menorrhagia?
Menorrhagia is the medical name for heavy periods. The amount of blood that is lost during a woman's period varies from person to person, with some women experiencing more blood loss than others. Menorrhagia can occur by itself or in combination with other symptoms, such as menstrual pain (dysmenorrhoea).

| Menorrhagia is defined as excessive (heavy) bleeding that occurs over several consecutive menstrual cycles. Heavy bleeding does not necessarily mean that there is anything seriously wrong, but it can affect a woman physically, emotionally and socially, and can cause disruption to everyday life. |
