Best Homeopathic medicine for Menorrhagia

Homeopathic medicine for Menorrhagia:

Menorrhagia is an abnormally heavy and prolonged menstrual period at regular intervals. Menorrhagia can be caused by 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, which is called Dysmenorrhea. The Homeopathic medicine we use in our system is especially free of side effects and provide the most reliable cure for menorrhagia.

Menorrhagia is the most common type of abnormal bleeding from the uterus. Periods are considered heavy if there is enough blood to soak a pad or tampon every hour for several consecutive hours.

Other symptoms of a heavy period can include:

• Nighttime bleeding that requires getting up to change pads
• Passing large blood clots during menstruation
• A period that lasts longer than seven days

In severe cases, heavy menstruation can interfere with sleep and daily activities. Blood loss from heavy periods can also lead to anemia, causing symptoms such as fatigue and shortness of breath.

Causes of Menorrhagia:

There are many possible causes of heavy menstrual bleeding. They include:

• Hormonal imbalance, particularly in Estrogen and progesterone; this is most common in adolescents who recently began their periods and women who are getting close to menopause. Hormonal imbalance may also occur if there is a problem in the function of the ovaries.
• Fibroids or noncancerous tumors of the uterus; fibroids typically occur during childbearing years.
• Miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy — the implantation of a fertilized egg outside the uterus, such as in the fallopian tube.
• Use of blood thinners.
• Problems with a non-hormonal intrauterine device (IUD) used for birth control.
• Adenomyosis, a condition in which the glands from the lining of the uterus become imbedded in the muscular wall of the uterus; this is most likely to occur in middle-aged women who have had several children.
• Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), an infection of the uterus, fallopian tubes, and other organs of the reproductive system.
• Uterine, ovarian, and cervical cancer; are rare but possible causes of heavy menstrual bleeding.
• Other medical conditions that can prevent normal blood clotting, including liver, kidney, or thyroid disease, and bleeding or platelet disorders. 

Diagnosis of Menorrhagia:

To find out if you have Menorrhagia, your doctor will ask you about your medical history and menstrual cycles.

1. He or she may ask you questions like the following:
2. How old were you when you got your first period?
3. How long is your menstrual cycle?
4. Exactly how many days does your period usually last?
5. How many days do you consider your period to be heavy?
6. How do your periods affect your quality of life?

Your doctor may also ask if any of your family members have had heavy menstrual bleeding.

One or more of the following tests will help find out if you have a bleeding problem:

Blood test: In this test, your blood will be taken using a needle. It will then be looked at to check for anemia, problems with the thyroid, or problems with the way the blood clots.

Pap test: For this test, cells from your cervix are removed and then looked at to find out if you have an infection, inflammation, or changes in your cells that might be cancer or might cause cancer.

Endometrial biopsy: Tissue samples are taken from the inside lining of your uterus or “endometrial” to find out if you have cancer or other abnormal cells. You might feel as if you were having a bad menstrual cramp while this test is being done. However, it does not take long, and the pain usually goes away when the test ends.

Ultrasound: This is a painless test using sound waves and a computer to show what your blood vessels, tissues, and organs look like. Your doctor then can see how they are working and check your blood flow.
