Menorrhagia

Menorrhagia, also known as hypermenorrhea, is a condition characterized by excessive and/or prolonged menstrual bleeding. Normal menstrual flow lasts 4 to 5 days and about 30 to 40 ml of blood is lost in each cycle. However, in menorrhagia bleeding lasts for more than 7 days and/or is much heavier than usual for the individual (blood loss of more than 80 ml). This occurs more commonly in young women, during the first 12 to 18 months after their first menstrual period (menarche), and in women approaching menopause. About 10 to 20 percent of all menstruating women in the US experience menorrhagia, at some point in their lives.

Menorrhagia Causes

Although the exact cause of menorrhagia is not known, it can be caused by hormonal imbalance. The hormonal imbalance most commonly occurs due to improper use of hormone medications, such as birth-control pills. Other causes may include:

• Non-cancerous growths, called polyps, on the cervix or inside the uterus
• Non-cancerous tumors, called fibroids, on the uterus
• Cyst in the ovary
• Cancer of the uterus, ovary or cervix
• Miscarriage
• Pregnancy developing in the fallopian tubes (tubal or ectopic pregnancy)
• Use of an intrauterine device (IUD) for birth control
• Chronic conditions such as thyroid disorders, diabetes and blood-clotting disorders
• Stress

Menorrhagia Symptoms

Menorrhagia is characterized by excessive bleeding (requiring change of sanitary napkins or tampons every hour) and/or prolonged bleeding. However, each individual may experience symptoms different manner. Other symptoms may include:

• Spotting or bleeding between menstrual periods
• Spotting or bleeding during pregnancy
• Passing large blood clots during the menstrual flow
• Pain or cramps in the lower abdomen
• Tiredness, fatigue or shortness of breath (symptoms of anemia)

How is it Menorrhagia Diagnosed?

The medical history, symptoms and a gynecological examination are usually sufficient to diagnose this condition. However, your physician may also recommend diagnostic tests, such as:

• Ultrasound of pelvis
• Blood test to measure levels of hormones like prolactin, estradiol, thyroid hormones and FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone)
• Microscopic examination of a tissue sample from the uterus (Endometrial biopsy)
• Dilatation and Curettage (D&C)
• Telescopic examination of the uterus and ovaries (Laparoscopy and hysteroscopy)

Allopathic treatments for Menorrhagia include NSAIDs – ibuprofen (Advil), naproxen (Aleve) and Analgesics – acetaminophen (Tylenol). However these Allopathic treatments do not cure Menorrhagia. They are merely a way of suppressing symptoms and prolong use may be harmful for other organs as well.

NSAIDs have severe side-effects that increase with dosage and strength. These include ringing in the ears, gastric ulcers, cardiovascular problems, gastrointestinal bleeding and liver or kidney damage.

Prolonged use of strong analgesics can cause liver damage. Moreover, these offer only temporary relief and problems may recur every month.

Complementary Natural Care

When you take external hormones, your symptoms may temporarily disappear. But to treat menorrhagia effectively, it is essential to address the reasons your body does not produce hormones in a balanced manner in the first place. Advances in natural system of remedies such as Homeopathy and Ayurveda have now made it possible to develop formulations that help in improving the female endocrine system. Natural formulations are believed to work by: **

• Using sarcode remedies to teach your endocrine glands and reproductive organs optimal functioning
• Helping in contracting the blood vessels of the uterus
• Improving the tonicity of your uterine muscles
• Supplying you with nutrients such as iron and vitamins, which help to boost female vitality

Every single ingredient in every Biogetica kit has huge amounts of traditional use data from Ayurveda and Homeopathy and is supported by modern studies and trials. However, people and governments today tend to have varying opinions and laws regarding natural medicine. We therefore prefer not to make any claims but instead, point all patients and doctors to independent research and clinical studies that supports their effects in a scientific manner. In some cases, we compare the results of these studies to those of pharmaceutical medicines in order to show that natural products can provide just as much or may be more, when compared to drugs that often have side effects.

In order to present this information in an unbiased and up to date manner, we simply show you Google Scholar search results of all scientific articles available on a certain product or ingredient. If you do so much as read the synopsis of the research, the choice becomes clear. You can read and compare the results of drug studies and the results of studies on which Biogetica relies. We support you in your right to know about and choose drugs or natural medicine!

Prana’ stands for life force, and as the name suggests, it is instrumental in keeping us alive. ‘Pranayama’ is the process that helps us control ‘Prana’, and thus in a way, control our life. On careful observation, it is clear that there exists an intimate connection between the breath and energy-currents. Proper coordination of the breathing process leads to the control of vital inner-currents and energies. It ultimately results in the control of the body, mind and soul continuum. Over the millenia yogis have understood how each pranayama affects the energy meridians of the body and therefore these yogis recommend particular pranayamas for particular conditions and constitutions.

The mind is a tool developed for our survival. You are not the mind, nor the body but rather one that can perceive the mind and the body. However, one is now constantly wagged around by the mind and its fears and desires. Often we find ourselves trampled in a parade of thoughts and washed around in a flood of emotions. Meditation is simply the process of returning Home to our true nature as the witnessing consciousness in which arise all thoughts and emotions. It is merely the fragrance of Being Human.

Meditation cannot be done, it will happen once we stop doing everything and anything. Now is all that exists, all else is merely grasping at the wind hoping to change things that are generally way beyond our control.

Talking about meditation and whether you believe you can do it or not, is pointless. When we rise above our mind, emotions and body, meditation will happen. Simply listening and following is enough. Meditation is in our very nature, and it happens for us all. Behind all those thoughts is a Witness. You are that Witness.
