Menorrhagia, or heavy menstrual bleeding, represents an important health issue for premenopausal women and is a common cause for primary care consultations. Approximately 10-15% of women have heavy periods. This may be associated with iron deficiency anemia, fatigue, and time lost from school, work and regular activities. Up to 50% of women with menorrhagia who have an underlying bleeding disorder have functional limitations and reduction of quality of life during their menstrual period.
