how do i if i was to have menorrhagia and i have a dnc will i still be able to bear a child?

---

I'm not sure what your question is... its D&C which is clearing out the insides and menorrhagia which is excessive bleeding during your period...so is your question can you still have children? i would think imagine so, neither of those things prevents you from having children.  (+ info)

Have any of you had menorrhagia amd / or anovulation?

---

If so, what was done to control the bleeding?
Hi. Yes, I've had menorrhagia and anovulation in my past but I also have PCOS and ovarian cysts so those are some of the symptoms. The only thing that regulated my periods and controlled the bleeding, pain and duration of menses was birth control. You should definitely consult your ob/gyn and maybe have your hormone levels checked & maybe an ultrasound of your pelvis to make sure that everything is ok.
Hope this helps & goodluck to you!  (+ info)

Menorrhagia treatment in homeopathy ?

My wife is using Lachesis 200x and Caulophylum 200x for heavy bleeding, Please tell me how many days she should use these medicines in between the periods? We are not able to contact the doctor who prescribed these medicines.
These medicines are being taken once daily 4 drops each.
Both Lachesis and Caulophylum are remedies for heavy bleeding. My suggested dosage, if taken in 200x potency, would be to take these medicines about a week before the periods are due and 2 weekly doses of 4 drops in ¼ th cup of water should be taken. Take Caulophylum in the morning and Lachesis in the evening.

Welcome back to the eminent ** Soul Doctor **. He has also very rightly pointed out the correct options.

P.S. Please elaborate if the above remedies are providing any relief to your wife.  (+ info)

What is the treatment of menorrhagia.?

I am a women age 42 years. I have five kids. I am suffering from menorrhagia. since last two years. I want to know the medicines for treatment of this disease.
At some time in your reproductive life, you've probably experienced heavy bleeding during your menstrual period. If you're like some women, every period you have causes enough blood loss and cramping that you can't maintain your usual daily activities. The medical term for periods like these — excessive or prolonged or both — is menorrhagia.

Although heavy menstrual bleeding is a common concern among premenopausal women, few women experience blood loss severe enough to be defined as menorrhagia. If you have menstrual bleeding so heavy that you dread your period, talk with your doctor. There are many effective treatments for menorrhagia.

Specific treatment for menorrhagia is based on a number of factors, including:

-Your overall health and medical history
-The cause and severity of the condition
-Your tolerance for specific medications, procedures or therapies
-The likelihood that your periods will become less heavy before long
-Your future childbearing plans
-Effects of the condition on your lifestyle
-Your opinion or personal preference

Drug therapy for menorrhagia may include:

Iron supplements.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
Oral contraceptives.
Oral progesterone.
The hormonal IUD (Mirena).

If you have menorrhagia from taking hormone medication, you and your doctor may be able to treat the condition by changing or stopping your medication.

You may need surgical treatment for menorrhagia if drug therapy is unsuccessful. Treatment options include:

Dilation and curettage (D and C).
Operative hysteroscopy.
Endometrial ablation.
Endometrial resection.
Hysterectomy.
Except for hysterectomy, these surgical procedures are usually done on an outpatient basis. Although you may need a general anesthetic, it's likely that you can go home later on the same day. -

Please consult your physician for further check up and treatment thereof. Wish you a speedy recover and relief from the problems -  (+ info)

What is Menorrhagia Exactly?

I think I may have it, but I'm not sure. I don't know much about it but I wanted to look up why I was having heavy periods. Is it bad or dangerous to have or what?

If you have menstrual bleeding so heavy that you dread your period, talk with your doctor. There are many effective treatments for menorrhagia.

The signs and symptoms of menorrhagia may include:

■Menstrual flow that soaks through one or more sanitary pads or tampons every hour for several consecutive hours
■The need to use double sanitary protection to control your menstrual flow
■The need to change sanitary protection during the night
■Menstrual periods lasting longer than seven days
■Menstrual flow that includes large blood clots
■Heavy menstrual flow that interferes with your regular lifestyle
■Tiredness, fatigue or shortness of breath (symptoms of anemia)
When to see a doctor
Doctors generally recommend that all sexually active women and women over the age of 21 have yearly pelvic exams and regular Pap tests. However, if you experience heavy or irregular vaginal bleeding, schedule an appointment with your doctor and be certain to record when the bleeding occurs during the month. If you're having heavy vaginal bleeding — soaking at least one pad or tampon an hour for more than a few hours — seek medical help. Call your doctor if you have any vaginal bleeding after menopause

Its not bad or dangerous for you, but if you feel like you may have it, and are worried, contact your doc or obgyn, and I'm sure that they would answer all your questiions!!!

Good Luck!  (+ info)

what is the treatment of premenopausal menorrhagia?

47 years age
Abnormal Premenopausal Bleeding
Menorrhagia is an abnormally heavy and prolonged menstrual period at regular intervals. Causes may be due to abnormal blood clotting, disruption of normal hormonal regulation of periods or disorders of the endometrial lining of the uterus. Depending upon the cause, it may be associated with abnormally painful periods (dysmenorrhea)


General Considerations

Normal menstrual bleeding lasts an average of 4 days (range, 2-7 days), with a mean blood loss of 40 mL. Blood loss of over 80 mL per cycle is abnormal and frequently produces anemia. Excessive bleeding, often with the passage of clots, may occur at regular menstrual intervals (menorrhagia) or irregular intervals (dysfunctional uterine bleeding). When there are fewer than 21 days between the onset of bleeding episodes, the cycles are likely to be anovular. Ovulation bleeding, a single episode of spotting between regular menses, is quite common. Heavier or irregular intermenstrual bleeding warrants investigation.

Treatment
Where an underlying cause can be identified, treatment may be directed at this. Clearly heavy periods at the start and end of a women's reproductive years may settle spontaneously (the menopause being the cessation of periods).

If the degree of bleeding is mild, all that may be sought by the woman is the reassurance that there is no sinister underlying cause. If anaemia occurs then iron tablets may be used to help restore normal hemoglobin levels. Treatment may be given for a fixed period of time to replenish the body stores. Alternatively therapy may be continued long-term, often in a cyclical regimen on the days of menstruation.

The condition is often be treated with hormones, particularly as dysfunctional uterine bleeding commonly occurs in the early and late menstrual years when contraception is also sought. Usually oral combined contraceptive or progesterone only pills may be taken for a few months, but for longer-term treatment the alternatives of injected Depo Provera or the more recent progesterone releasing IntraUterine System may be used. Fibroids may respond to hormonal treatment, else require surgical removal.

Anti-inflammatory medication has previously been used, although it has a greater effect on dysmenorrhoea excess pain than on the heaviness of the period (typically 30% reduction in flow). More effective is the use of tranexamic acid tablets that may reduce loss by up to 50%. This may be combined with hormonal medication previously mentioned.

what is difference between menorrhagia & polymenorrhoea ?

---

Polymenorrhea is a type of abnormal uterine bleeding. Polymenorrhea occurs when the menstrual cycle is less than 21 days long.

Menorrhagia Heavy Menstural bleeding, prolonged period,
Heavy menstrual bleeding in this condition refers to excessive flow and duration of the bleeding at regular intervals of your menstrual cycle.
Menorrhagia can be identified easily if you have menstrual bleeding more than seven days
