Various Treatments for Menorrhagia and Metrorrhagia
Menorrhagia and Metrorrhagia
Menorrhagia and metrorrhagia refer to sudden, heavy bleeding not at regular intervals or continuous light bleeding, respectively. The former is called "bursting" or "menstrual burst," the latter "leaking" or "menstrual leakage." Although the bleeding patterns differ, they often alternate, hence collectively referred to as "menorrhagia and metrorrhagia."
This condition results from damage to Chong and Ren vessels, failing to regulate menstrual blood, causing uncontrolled bleeding from the uterus. It may appear suddenly or develop gradually from menstrual irregularity. Common causes include blood heat, kidney deficiency, spleen deficiency, and blood stasis.
