 Doctor's Note Heavy Menstrual Periods
Heavy Menstrual Periods April 6, 2009 Heavy menstrual periods can have an enormous impact on a woman’s health and quality of life. While bleeding is normal during periods, excessive bleeding definitely isn’t. Unfortunately, heavy menstrual bleeding, known as "menorrhagia", is common. And so is the misery it can cause. Women with this problem often disengage from their lives during their periods, affecting their work lives, social lives and sense of well-being. In addition to feeling miserable, however, menorrhagia can cause a woman to lose a significant amount of blood, which can lead to such serious conditions as anemia. Women with particularly excessive bleeding are at risk for developing heart failure. There are ways to stop the misery. Fortunately, Dr. Antonio R. Pizarro can help. With skill and capabilities at the leading edge of gynecologic medicine, Dr. Pizarro offers a variety of options to help reduce bleeding and/or regulate menstrual periods. These include today’s most advanced minimally invasive surgical and nonsurgical techniques for optimal outcomes. Using procedures such as endometrial ablation and minimally invasive hysterectomy, Dr. Pizarro is able to offer effective treatment with quick recovery and improvement in quality of life. If you suffer from heavy menstrual periods, please contact Dr. Pizarro for more information on ways you can be helped.
