Hi,

Thanks for writing to us once again.

Menorrhagia is heavy and prolonged bleeding during menses.

If one has to use one sanitary pad in one hour for few hour and heavy bleeding for 7 days and if it hamper routine life it is considered as Menorrhagia.

There are so many causes for Menorrhagia and one has to see a Gynaecologist to rule out the cause.

Hope it is useful, feel free to ask more questions.
