Menometrorrhagia
Menometrorrhagia is a medical condition characterized by heavy and prolonged menstrual periods at irregular intervals. This condition can be caused by a variety of factors, including hormonal imbalances, uterine fibroids, polyps, or cancer. Treatment options vary depending on the underlying cause and may include hormonal therapy, surgery, or other interventions.
Causes[edit | edit source]
Menometrorrhagia can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
- Hormonal imbalances: These can disrupt the normal menstrual cycle and lead to heavy, prolonged periods.
- Uterine fibroids: These noncancerous growths in the uterus can cause heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding.
- Polyps: Small, benign growths on the lining of the uterus or cervix can cause heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding.
- Cancer: Uterine, cervical, or ovarian cancer can cause heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding.
Symptoms[edit | edit source]
The primary symptom of menometrorrhagia is heavy and prolonged menstrual bleeding. Other symptoms may include:
- Pain or cramping in the lower abdomen
- Fatigue or anemia due to blood loss
- Irregular menstrual cycle
Treatment[edit | edit source]
Treatment for menometrorrhagia depends on the underlying cause and may include:
- Hormonal therapy: This can help regulate the menstrual cycle and reduce bleeding.
- Surgery: If fibroids, polyps, or cancer are causing the heavy bleeding, surgery may be necessary.
- Endometrial ablation: This procedure destroys the lining of the uterus to reduce heavy bleeding.
