Dr. Mike Discusses Menorrhagia (Heavy Periods) יתר וסת

In a normal menstrual cycle, a woman loses an average of 2 to 3 tablespoons (35 to 40 milliliters) of blood over three to seven days. However, some women lose a lot more blood. Menorrhagia is the medical term for heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding. Most women have a menstrual period every 25 to 35 days; the average is every 28 days.

Women who lose 5 to 6 tablespoons (about 80 milliliters) of blood or more during their menstrual period are said to have menorrhagia. Losing a lot of blood during the menstrual period can cause medical problems like anemia (low number of red blood cells).
