The medical term for menstrual cycles with abnormally heavy or prolonged bleeding is menorrhagia. While a common concern is heavy menstrual bleeding, most women do not experience significant enough blood loss to be described as menorrhagia.
For menorrhagia, when you have so much blood loss and cramping, you can't manage your normal activities while you have your time. Speak to your doctor if you fear your cycle because you have such extreme menstrual bleeding.
