Heavy menstruation, also known as menorrhagia, is usually the result of a hormonal imbalance. Another common cause of abnormal uterine bleeding is fibroid tumors. Other causes of excessive bleeding that your healthcare provider should consider include: cervical or endometrial polyps.
Polyps (benign, fleshy growths on the lining of the uterus) can also be a source of heavy periods. Several blood clotting disorders, such as von Willebrand's Disease, can prevent blood from clotting correctly. A condition called neoplasia may also cause heavy bleeding.
