What Is This Tsunami?
Menorrhagia (pronounced men-o-RAJ-ee-a, like it’s crashing into your weekend plans) is when your period decides to go full Niagara Falls. We’re talking super heavy bleeding or a period that overstays its welcome—more than seven days long. Basically, your uterus is throwing a waterpark party and forgot to send an end time.

🩸 You’re soaking through pads or tampons every hour or two for several hours. Not ideal.
🧱 You’re passing blood clots bigger than a quarter. That’s not a souvenir.
🧛♀️ You feel tired, weak, or look suspiciously like you might be auditioning for a vampire movie (hello, anemia).

Your body might be dealing with:
Hormonal imbalances (your estrogen is freelancing without supervision)
Uterine fibroids or polyps (tiny squatters in your uterus)
Certain medications (some blood thinners are party starters)
Other medical conditions like thyroid issues or bleeding disorders
Basically, your uterus might be trying to win a drama award.

🩺 See a doctor. Seriously. Heavy flow can lead to anemia, which makes you feel like a deflated balloon. 🧮 Track your cycle and flow—apps, journals, or hieroglyphics, whatever works.
🥦 Eat iron-rich foods like spinach, red meat, or fortified cereals. Your blood needs backup.
🧘♀️ Manage stress and get rest. Your uterus might chill out if you do.

Menorrhagia is common, but it’s not something you have to suffer through in silence. If your period is acting like a broken fire hydrant, it’s time to call in the experts. You deserve a cycle that doesn’t require a mop and a motivational speech.
