Uterrhagia

Uterrhagia is a medical term used to describe excessive or abnormal bleeding from the uterus. This condition can occur during menstruation, or it can happen outside of the regular menstrual cycle. In some cases, it can be a symptom of an underlying medical condition. Uterrhagia can be caused by a number of different factors. These can include hormonal imbalances, such as anovulation or polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). It can also be caused by structural changes in the uterus, such as an abnormal growth of tissue. In some cases, it can be caused by the use of certain medications or by a foreign object being inserted into the uterus. When uterrhagia occurs, it can range from light spotting to heavier bleeding. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, cramping, and fatigue. In cases of excessive bleeding, a patient may need to seek medical attention. Treatment will depend on the cause of the uterrhagia, but may include hormone therapy, medications, or surgery.
