Byron A Brown MD and other doctors like him have been striving to educate women about reproductive issues and problems. That is because knowing how to treat and deal with issues like menorrhagia, can help women to know that these conditions are commonplace, and help them to know what to expect when they are diagnosed with a problem like menorrhagia.

Menorrhagia is a medical term for describing a menstrual cycle that has a particularly heavy or prolonged bleed. While heavy and/or prolonged bleeding during a menstrual cycle is a relatively common concern among premenopausal women, the majority of women don’t experience a severe enough blood loss to be defined by a medical professional as menorrhagia. That is because menorrhagia is far more severe, and usually means that a period causes so much blood loss and cramping that a woman cannot maintain her normal activities. Sometimes it can be difficult to tell the difference between the serious condition of menorrhagia, and what is a normal function and flow of the menstruation cycle. Thankfully, there are many symptoms that help indicate whether a woman does indeed suffer from menorrhagia.

Sometimes it cannot be said with certainty what causes menorrhagia, but there are many common causes, which include:

Dysfunction of the Ovaries. If the ovaries are not releasing an egg during the menstrual cycle, then the woman’s body is not producing the proper amount of progesterone. This can lead to a hormonal imbalance that can result in menorrhagia.

Polyps. These are small, benign growths that have been known to line the uterus. These polyps have been known to cause heavy and prolonged menstrual bleeding. These are most common in women in the reproductive age with high hormone levels.

Pregnancy Complications. Sometimes a heavy, prolonged menstrual bleed can be the result of a miscarriage. An ectopic pregnancy (a medical procedure that plants a fertilized egg into the fallopian tube) has also been known to cause menorrhagia.

Medical professionals like Byron A Brown MD have been working diligently to help educate women about the many issues associated with the reproductive system. Education can help women take preventative measures and regulate their reproductive health better.
