Q: Does bleeding between cycles amount to menorrhagia?
A: Bleeding between cycles is called metrorrhagia. In menorrhagia, the patient does not have bleeding between periods. If both heavy periods and irregular bleeding are present, the condition is called menometrorrhagia.
Q: Can I take aspirin instead of drugs such as ibuprofen and mefenamic acid?
A: Though aspirin belongs to the same class as ibuprofen and mefenamic acid, it can lead to increased bleeding. Hence it should not be used in menorrhagia.
