Menorrhagia refers to excessive bleeding during menstruation and is experienced by many women at some point in their lives. Bleeding may be very heavy during a normal length period or in the form of prolonged bleeding every cycle. The average menstrual period lasts between four and five days and produces 60 to 250 ml of blood. What is “normal varies quite widely between different women and one woman may be used to a regular 28 day cycle with a 3-day bleed while another may menstruate every 35 days for 7 days. Both may be considered normal.
Bleeding in excess of what is considered “normal", acceptable to the individual or even healthy may be known as menorrhagia.
Menorrhagia can include:
Menstrual bleeding that lasts longer than seven days
Bleeding which soaks one or more sanitary pads or tampons every hour for several consecutive hours
Needing to use a double sanitary protection or change sanitary pads or tampons during the night
Menstrual flow that includes large blood clots
Heavy periods that interfere with your regular lifestyle
Tiredness, fatigue or shortness of breath due to anemia
What complications can heavy periods cause?
Menstrual bleeding that is prolonged or excessive over several cycles may lead to health complications if not properly managed. Iron deficiency anemia is caused by the loss of red blood cells during heavy menstrual bleeding. Anemia typically causes weakness and fatigue though women with more severe cases may even find themselves short of breath, light-headed, experiencing restless leg syndrome or a rapid heart rate. Anemia can be easily remedied and reversed with iron supplements and proper treatment of menorrhagia.
Menorrhagia is also associated with severe cramps and period pains as well as decreased fertility.
Conventional treatment of menorrhagia is based on treating any underlying cause or condition or, in the many women who have no known cause, symptomatic treatment may range from oral contraceptives and other hormonal medications to surgery.
Normal menstrual flow and regular periods depend on overall reproductive health
Hormones play a vital role in every woman’s health and wellbeing. Every month, the female hormones called estrogen and progesterone are produced.
The ratio between these two hormones, as well as the quantities produced by the body can vary throughout the menstrual cycle as well as during the perimenopause and menopause. This is perfectly normal and will result in various changes in mood, skin and hair growth as well as in menstruation itself.
One of our major brain hormones, gonadotrophin releasing hormone, also affects the functioning of the hypothalamus which in turn affects the pituitary gland, which then affects the ovaries, fallopian tubes and uterus.
Women of all ages may experience hormonal changes, often with symptoms becoming evident in their late twenties through to forties. Many women also experience symptoms of hormonal change during their premenstrual cycle.
The natural way
Hormonal balance during a woman’s life may be influenced by a variety of factors such as nutrition, diet, lifestyle, exercise, stress, emotions, age and ovulation.
Natural remedies also have a long history of use in promoting female reproductive health and hormonal balance – assisting women throughout the ages to stay healthy before and during the menstrual cycle as well as during the perimenopause and menopause – without unwanted side effects.

"I have had heavy bleeding for years, and after ascertaining that I don't have any pathology, I decided to give a try to this product. I have been using it for about half a month, and during my first period after using it, I have seen an enormous difference. No more heavy bleeding, and furthermore it helped my period be punctual again and be 5 days long instead of 7-8, as it was happening in the last year. I am really happy I found this product and I will definitely keep on ordering it. Thank you!"Giuseppina
"Thanks so much for this product ... After much research on products to help regulate periods I decided to give it a try. I have had problems with irregular periods, even having two periods in one month - since Feb 08. This product works!!! I started using Mens-Reduce in October and have been very pleased with the results. The first month I actually had only one period and it lasted only four days. I am now pretty regular with a 25, 26 day cycle...Thanks so much."Lisa
