What is the best treatment of menorrhagia?

Varies with patient: Menorrhagia can have a number of causes. The best therapy is directed at the underlying cause. Fibroids, polyps, an ovulation, bleeding disorders and cancers can all cause heavy bleeding but would be treated very differently. Seeing your physician can help determine the cause of menorrhagia/heavy bleeding and then outline a treatment plan.

Depends on Cause: Menorrhagia/Heavy Menstrual Bleeding is any period bleeding that leads to soaking a pad/tampon more than every 2hrs, interferes w/ daily activities, or lasts >7days. There are many causes: fibroids, polyp, hormonal imbalance (TSH/Prog/Estr), adenomyosis, bleeding disorders and cancer. Get checked out. Taking progesterone (pills/IUD) can help to thin the uterine lining so you don't bleed as much.
