Only if you have pai: You can use it if you have associated cramps or pain and it may help but if no pain it will not do anything.

Depends: Menorrhagia is excessively prolonged or profuse menses. Metrorrhagia is any irregular acyclic bleeding from the uterus between periods. The heating pad may alleviate some discomfort but i advise you go to your gyn for treatment options.

Sure.: If you mean metrorrhagia, meaning irregular bleeding between periods, a heating pad may not help prevent bleeding but may help with the cramps you get when you bleed. You should be evaluated by a gyn though b/c bleeding between periods isn't normal and usually is easily treatable. Could be a polyp, an infection, fibroid, or perimenopause.
