menorrhagia is defined as a complaint of excessive menstrual blood loss occurring over several consecutive cycles in a woman of reproductive years.

Complexity of menorrhagia

Menorrhagia— is the medical term for excessive or prolonged menstrual bleeding or both. The condition also is known as hypermenorrhea. The menstrual cycle isn't the same for every woman

Normal menstrual flow occurs about every 28 days, lasts about 5 days and produces a total blood loss of 30 to 40 milliliters
Some women have frequent menstrual spotting, while others find that heavy bleeding is normal

Between 15 and 20 percent of healthy women experience debilitating menorrhagia that interferes with their normal activities
Bleeding heavily and/or if periods last more than seven days is considered excessively heavy menstruation

Other types of dysfunctional uterine bleeding include metorrhagia (bleeding in between periods or menstrual spotting) and polymenorrhea (having a period more often than every 21 days)
