Heavy bleeding and low Hemoglobin dull your shine!

When a female suffers from heavy flow or bleeding/, during her periods and changes pads or tampons every 2 hours, the condition is called menorrhagia. About 45% of females suffer heavy menstrual flow that not only affects their health, skin texture, and skin glow but also hampers their work productivity. The average female generally has a menstrual cycle of 4 to 5 days and loses around 2 to 3 tablespoons (approximately 40 mL) of blood. In comparison, a female with menorrhagia suffers bleeding for more than 7 days with 5 to 6 tablespoons of blood loss (approximately 80 mL).

During these periods, significant blood loss leads to low hemoglobin levels in the body, thus causing iron-deficiency anemia in females. A healthy female has a haemoglobin range of 12 to 15.5 g/dL, which drops to less than 10 g/dL in anaemic females with menorrhagia.

The doctors recommend iron supplements, dietary changes, and medications to manage the condition. These treatment options may affect the health of the female due to their side effects, like nausea and constipation with iron tablets. Therefore, it is essential to monitor your hemoglobin to check if iron supplements are increasing your hemoglobin levels and protecting you from anaemia. Hemoglobin also gives a red colour to the skin by carrying oxygen to the skin cells. When the hemoglobin levels are low, less oxygen reaches the cells and causes dullness to the skin. Monitoring and managing hemoglobin levels keep you safe from diseases like anaemia and make your skin glow and radiant. Keep shining with TrueHb!

Role of Hemoglobin monitoring during Menorrhagia

Low hemoglobin levels and anemia detection

Hemoglobin is found in red blood cells, which carry oxygen to different parts of the body. A female suffering from menorrhagia experiences heavy menstrual bleeding. This heavy flow lowers the hemoglobin levels in the blood and causes anemia. The female may experience symptoms like fatigue, weakness, pallor, shortness of breath, feeling cold, brittle nails, and dizziness.

Treatment and Management

When hemoglobin levels drop due to heavy menstrual flow, doctors may recommend several treatments, such as iron supplements or medications to control bleeding, hormonal therapies, or surgical procedures. Assessing hemoglobin levels is important to prevent hemoglobin loss and helps in the diagnosis and management of menorrhagia.

Monitoring Progress

When a female is on medication during menorrhagia, hemoglobin levels are checked to monitor the effectiveness of treatments to reduce the heavy flow and improve hemoglobin levels. Based on your hemoglobin levels, your doctor may recommend adjustments to treatment plans if required.

Prevention

Checking hemoglobin levels during menorrhagia can effectively monitor the drop in hemoglobin levels, helping to reduce the severity of heavy bleeding and prevent the risk of developing anemia.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How TruHb is useful in menorrhagia?

In menorrhagia, heavy menstrual bleeding leads to excessive blood loss and then lowers hemoglobin levels. TreuHb is used to measure the hemoglobin levels and management of the condition. In case of dietary changes, TrueHb helps the female to monitor and let the female know the increase and decrease of HB

2. What is the normal range for hemoglobin levels to manage menorrhagia?

The normal range for adult women is around 12 to 15.5 g/dL. In menorrhagia hemoglobin levels drops due to prolonged and heavy bleeding.

3. Are females suffering from menorrhagia at risk of developing anemia?

Yes, heavy bleeding lowers the haemoglobin levels, thus, causing anaemia in females with menorrhagia.

4. Can anemia due to menorrhagia will be treated?

Treatment options include iron supplements, dietary changes, and medications to control heavy flow.

5. What are the symptoms of anemia in women with menorrhagia?

Fatigue, weakness, pallor (pale skin), shortness of breath, dizziness, brittle nails, headaches, and low work productivity are some of the symptoms of anemia in women with menorrhagia.

6. Can menorrhagia be managed without monitoring hemoglobin levels?

Monitoring hemoglobin levels is essential for effectively diagnosing and managing menorrhagia. It provides valuable information about the female’s overall health and treatment efficacy.

7. How is hemoglobin measured in menorrhagia?

A small drop of blood sample is required to measure hemoglobin levels by TrueHb kit. The blood can be withdrawn by simple pricking.

8. Is menorrhagia associated with other medical conditions?

9. Can menorrhagia affect women of all ages?

Yes, menorrhagia can affect women at any age except women who are on menopause.

10. What are the complications associated with untreated menorrhagia and low hemoglobin levels?

Untreated menorrhagia and low hemoglobin levels can lead to complications such as anemia-related symptoms, fatigue, weakness, difficulty in concentrating in studies or at work, hampered work productivity, and decreased quality of life.

11. Can hormonal contraceptives be used to improve hemoglobin levels?

Hormonal contraceptives, such as birth control pills, hormonal IUDs, and hormonal injections, are often used to manage menorrhagia.

12. How can women with menorrhagia be proactive in managing their condition?
