iStock_000016969874_MediumTwenty percent of all women suffer from abnormally heavy periods. It is condition known as menorrhagia. Too many women plan their lives around their menstrual cycles. Your periods are too heavy if you have one or more of the following:

  1. Cycles longer than 7 days
  2. Bleeding large clots
  3. Bleeding through a tampon or pad requiring a change of clothing
  4. Feeling weak or tired during your period
  5. Periods that are affecting your daily life

Historically, heavy bleeding was treated with hysterectomy. In recent years, much less invasive techniques have been developed to end heavy periods. The doctors are now using the Minerva System. More information on the website will be available soon. Please contact the office with any questions.
