Menorrhagia means heavy periods.

Most women have a clear idea of how heavy their periods should be. If you think they are heavy, then they probably are. The best measures are the level of disruption to your everyday life, the change from what you consider was normal for you, and whether you feel you use an unusually high number of pads or tampons.
