Menorrhagia?
I am 24, and I missed taking a pill about two weeks ago. Pregnancy isn't a concern, but my period is now been going strong for nearly ten days. This is abnormal for me, what's going on? What should I do if it doesn't stop?

You need to contact your gyno, this can lead to anemia, and they may need to do other testing as well. This could also mean that your body is having hormonal changes. But above all you need to consult your gynocologyst it would be way safer. (

How do you treat severe menorrhagia?
My mother suffers from severe menorrhagia. She has bouts of uncontrollable bleeding and feels extremely uncomfortable. She has become anemic and her hormones are unbalanced. She has walked up the stairs and started bleeding. Is there any special foods, any special diet, any special daily routine that she should be adopting? This is not only very scary for me but also, of course, very frightening for her too. Please, please help me.

Your mom should speak with her doc. If she isn't ready for a hysterectomy (doesn't want) there are few other procedures that can be done. But severe anemia can lead to other problems. (

How do I if I have Menorrhagia?
This is a question most men will not want to even think about. Menorrhagia is the word meaning having a very heavy period. I have to use thick pads, that I need to change every two hours, during the first two days. If you know anything about this, let me know.

The Mayo Clinic has an article that is very detailed, including signs and symptoms, causes, risk factors, treatment, etc.

How long does a period have to last for to be classified as menorrhagia?
And if you could please put a link the where you found this information, where it actually says. Thanks.
and if a period lasts for more than 12 days is there something wrong?
----------
Wikipedia says a "blood loss of greater than 80 ml or lasting longer than 7 days" can be classified as menorrhagia; Mayo Clinic is a little more vague and talks about "losing about 5 1/2 tablespoons (81 milliliters) or more of blood" during your period.
Either way, I'd recommend checking with your doctor. Better safe than sorry. (

How does Menorrhagia got to do with anemia?I would like some physiological explanation and also good websites?
From what I know, the prolonged period of menorrhagia can cause anemia. This is because the amount of menstrual blood exceeds the forming of new RBCs rate, therefore it leads to anemia. And for the exact physiology, have you tried to search in medical books? I am not sure you will find a good physiology if you googled it, but if you're just curious and this is not for an assignment, I think google is enough.. (

What are the common causes of menorrhagia and metrorrhagia?
The major cause of both scanty and excessive periods is generally hormonal shifts. Light or absent periods can be caused by stress, changes in lifestyle, or excessive dieting or exercising. Heavy flow can also be the result of fibroids, or overgrowth of tissue in and around the uterus, known as endometriosis. Your gynecologist can give you more information. (

Is there any scientific basis to use cinnamon in the menorrhagia?
Cinnamon has been used in connection with uterine hemorrhage and heavy menses (menorrhagia) over the years because of its tannin properties (which tends to decrease discharges), but with no (or minimal at best) scientific evidence.
It has been shown to restore tone to the uterine muscular structure to some small degree, and can moderate hemorrhage (even post-partum) - but only hemorrhage that is NOT disease related; for example, it wouldn't work on someone with Endometriosis, adenomyosis, fibroids or disease-dependent abnormal uterine bleeding.
Hope that helps. (

My period is heavy, but not Menorrhagia. Any ideas on how to make it less heavy? :(?
Depending on your age, going on the birth control pill will not only (after about 3 months) will usually cut the length and flow of your periods as well as being able to know when, give or take a few hours, to expect your next one. Many woman also benefit from the pill to decrease their cramps and it does do that. I hope that helps. peace:) (
