Signs & symptoms

Symptoms of menometrorrhagia include heavy and prolonged bleeding during menstrual periods, irregular menstrual cycles, bleeding between periods, and anemia due to blood loss.

Diagnosis

Diagnosis of menometrorrhagia involves a medical history and physical examination, as well as laboratory tests to rule out underlying medical conditions. A pelvic exam, ultrasound, or hysteroscopy may be necessary to identify the cause of the abnormal bleeding.

Treatment

Treatment of menometrorrhagia depends on the underlying cause of the condition. Hormonal medications, such as birth control pills, may be prescribed to regulate menstrual periods and reduce bleeding. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may also be used to reduce pain and bleeding. In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to remove fibroids, polyps, or other growths in the uterus.
