Menorrhagia
Menorrhagia means menstrual bleeding that is unusually heavy, prolonged, or both. It is one of the most common gynaecological complaints among women in women’s health clinics across Asia, from India and Southeast Asia to Japan and South Korea. When blood loss is significant enough to cause fatigue, iron-deficiency anaemia, or to interfere with ordinary activities, it warrants attention.
Medicine used to treat Menorrhagia
Reducing blood loss
The most evidence-backed non-hormonal approach is tranexamic acid, an antifibrinolytic agent that stabilises clots and can cut menstrual blood loss by roughly 40-50%. It is taken only on the heavy days of a cycle, which makes it straightforward to use alongside other treatments if needed.
When to seek further assessment
Heavy periods can be a sign of an underlying cause such as uterine fibroids, adenomyosis, a coagulation disorder, or a thyroid problem. A gynaecologist can investigate with a pelvic ultrasound and blood tests. Seek prompt care if bleeding is severe enough to soak through protection hourly for several hours, or if you feel faint or unusually breathless.
