If there is enough blood to soak a pad or tampon every hour for several consecutive hours, periods are considered heavy. The disease can do great harm to women, so it can't be ignored by them.



For menorrhagia, there are some causes. Like medical conditions which can prevent blood clotting which is normal, like platelet disorders, bleeding, thyroid disease, kidney or liver. Some causes may be rare, but also possible causes like cervical cancer, ovarian or uterine. It can be caused by Pelvic inflammatory disease also. For middle-aged women who had children, it is very possible to happen by adenomyosis. In order to not have a baby, IUD was put in a woman and it can cause the disease, also if blood thinners are used, the disease can be led too.

Western medicine treatments like taking tranexamic acid for 1g, 2-3 times in a day. When your period starts, you take the first medicine. The medicine can reduce the 54% amount of period. Side effects are slight headache, dizzy or nausea and etc. This method is for patients who don't want to pregnant or don't want to receive hormone therapy. Another method is surgery, even though effective, but for patients who still want to have babies, surgery may make their dream never come true, let alone pain and wound left by a surgery. But there is a better choice for patients who still want to have their own babies in the future without any side effect, that is Fuyan Pill, a type of TCM. Often patients can be cured within several months.
