The diseases known as menorrhagia, dysmenorrhoea, leucorrhoea, amenorrhoea, abortions, prolapsus, chronic inflammations and ulcerations of the womb, with a yet greater variety of sympathetic nervous disorders, are some of the distressing forms of these derangements. ❋ John Harvey Kellogg (1897)
I read up on this thing called menorrhagia, heavy periods that hits women in menopause and girls who have just started having their periods (menarche). ❋ Unknown (2009)
Dr. Ewen also pointed out that the changes in the rats, if extrapolated to humans, might lead to abnormally heavy or longer menstrual periods (menorrhagia). ❋ Jeffrey Smith (2010)
- Fat women suffer from menorrhagia, infertility and several other disorders of menstruation. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Some of us also have longer and heavier episodes of bleeding menorrhagia or flooding, and some have shorter periods and less bleeding.7 Some women have a very quick change in bleeding patterns and some experience irregular periods over more than five years. ❋ M.D. Vivian Pinn (2006)
Very heavy bleeding sometimes called hypermenorrhea, menorrhagia, or flooding is often just an annoying part of perimenopausal change. ❋ The Boston Women’s Health Book Collective (2005)
IRREGULAR MENSTRUATION: There are at least three general types, including dysmenorrhea, or painful menstruation; amenorrhea, or stopped menses; and menorrhagia, or excessive bleeding or flooding during menstruation. ❋ JOHN LUST (2003)
Usually, menstrual flow increases (menorrhagia), but sometimes it decreases (dysmenorrhea); a whitish discharge (leukorrhea) may also occur. ❋ JOHN LUST (2003)
All physicians are aware of the frequent dependence of menorrhagia upon anemia, not only acquired, but congenital. ❋ Anna Callender Brackett (N/A)
Second, that just before the entrance to school, and the disturbance of menstruation, the girl had been living in a malarial district, and had suffered from malarial infection, which is again a frequent cause of menorrhagia. ❋ Anna Callender Brackett (N/A)
Before analyzing such influence it is important to notice two other causes of menorrhagia, that are very frequently present in just such cases as Dr. Clarke describes. ❋ Anna Callender Brackett (N/A)
But on further inquiry it appeared: first, that the mother of the girl had always been subject to menorrhagia, and it is well known that this often occurs exclusively as the result of hereditary predisposition. ❋ Anna Callender Brackett (N/A)
A large number of American girls become affected with amenorrhea [35] or menorrhagia [36] solely on account of excessive mental exertion at such periodical epochs of incapacity. ❋ Anna Callender Brackett (N/A)
In the cases related by Dr. Clarke, there is nothing to show that the menorrhagia was occasioned by study during the week of menstruation, rather than during the three weeks that preceded it. ❋ Anna Callender Brackett (N/A)
[12] A friend of undoubted accuracy testifies to a case where acute dysmenorrhoea and menorrhagia, begun in over-excitement and tight clothing, and aggravated by the very cause above-mentioned, gradually yielded to regular and nutritious food, a rational mode of dressing, regular sleep, and to the regular brain-work which gave sufficient employment to the over-excited imagination. ❋ Anna Callender Brackett (N/A)
It was therefore frequently neglected, and the girl, with hereditary predisposition to menorrhagia, increased by malarial infection, and also by certain rheumatic tendencies, was allowed to expend upon elementary text-books an amount of time, attention, and nervous energy, that would have been deemed excessive for the most valuable intellectual pursuits. ❋ Anna Callender Brackett (N/A)
"[I hate you] Bob!" says [Pam].
"Why Pam, you're being unusually bitchy today. Are you on [your period]? You've got menorrhagia don't you?" Bob asks.
"....yes." ❋ Soscan2062 (2006)
