Symptoms
As said above, the exact symptoms and signs of menorrhagia can vary greatly from person to person. Most cases might notice bleeding for more than 7 days. Also, the amount of blood loss can be higher than usual, making you use more sanitary products to control the menstrual flow. Some women might have to wake up during the night to change their sanitary protection. When the bleeding is too heavy, it might cause a loss of iron in the blood. This leads to anemia, which is characterized by shortness of breath, fatigue, and tiredness. [4]
