Expert care for menorrhagia and hormonal disorders from Mr Rowan Connell, FRCOG.
Heavy vaginal bleeding (clinically known as menorrhagia) is defined as menstrual periods that are so heavy or prolonged that they disrupt your daily life. While "heavy" is subjective, the NHS suggests that you may have menorrhagia if you need to change your sanitary products every hour, wake up during the night to change them, or pass blood clots larger than a 10p coin.
Beyond the physical discomfort, chronic heavy bleeding can lead to anaemia, causing persistent fatigue, shortness of breath, and a reduced quality of life. A formal diagnosis is the first step toward effective treatment.
Heavy periods affect approximately 1 in 5 women in the UK at some point in their lives. You do not have to simply accept it - effective, modern treatments are available.
There are many potential causes for heavy periods. Specialist assessment helps identify the right treatment for you.
