Heavy Menstrual Bleeding and it's cause

Heavy Menstrual Bleeding 



Heavy Menstrual Bleeding

Heavy Menstrual bleeding, also known as menorhagia by the medical professionals can be defined as a loss of more than 80-120 ml of menstrual blood loss during one menstrual cycle. In simple terms, this is the estimated quantity of blood that causes anaemia – blood deficiency- when lost during menstruation. But such simplistic view is actually counterproductive for two reasons. Heavy menstrual bleeding is a highly subjective and personal issue. Secondly, this definition requires actually measuring the blood loss, which isn’t very convenient for most of the women suffering from the condition.  A more practical definition of the condition is the soaking of a pad in an hour or less during every menstrual cycle.

Development of a PID (Pelvic inflammatory disease)

Formation of a pelvic inflammatory disease is not a over night process. The duration of time depends on the causative agent's incubation period. And again to develop a PID (Pelvic inflammatory disease)need some time to spread from the lower genital tract to the upper genital tract. This takes the extra time. Actually the process of development of PID starts from the inflammation of the vulva, Cervix of the uterus then Uterine tube and then ultimately the whole pelvis.
This condition may be caused by some bacteria, Fungus, Virus and parasites.
