Understanding Heavy Menstrual Bleeding: You’re Not Alone
Many South African women experience the frustration and concern of heavy menstrual periods that disrupt their daily lives. If you find yourself changing protection every hour, passing large clots, or feeling constantly fatigued during your cycle, our Menorrhagia Screen Test offers the answers you deserve. We understand how worrying this can be, and we’re here to provide the clarity and peace of mind you need.
What Does This Test Detect?
Our comprehensive Menorrhagia Screen examines your body’s natural clotting mechanisms to identify potential bleeding disorders. The test analyses:
- Prothrombin Time: Measures how quickly your blood clots
- APTT (Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time): Evaluates intrinsic clotting pathway
- Factor VIII Functional: Assesses this crucial clotting protein
- Factor IX: Examines another essential clotting factor
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Soaking through pads or tampons every 1-2 hours
- Passing blood clots larger than a 50c coin
- Needing to change protection during the night
- Menstrual periods lasting longer than 7 days
- Fatigue, shortness of breath, or anemia symptoms
- Family history of bleeding disorders
- Heavy bleeding that interferes with work or social activities
Why Early Detection Matters
Identifying the cause of heavy menstrual bleeding is crucial for:
- Preventing anemia and associated fatigue
- Improving quality of life and daily functioning
