A member asked:
I need help! how do i know if i have menorrhagia or a normal period flow?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
How it affects you: With menorrhagia, you bleed so much that you can't maintain your usual activities. You have to stay home from work or school, you soak through and soil your clothing, etc. It can also be helpful to count the number of tampons or pads you are using. If you are soaking an excessive number of pads or tampons or have to use both a pad an a tampon at the same time, you have menorrhagia.
