Puberty menorrhagia refers to excessive or prolonged menstrual bleeding in adolescent girls, especially during the initial years after menarche. It occurs when hormonal cycles are not yet fully regulated, leading to irregular ovulation and heavy bleeding patterns.
Key points:
Heavy bleeding lasting more than 7 days
Irregular menstrual cycles
Common in early puberty years
Often linked to hormonal imbalance

Common causes include:
Hormonal imbalance
Thyroid disorders
Bleeding disorders
Stress and lifestyle factors
Nutritional deficiencies
This condition is most commonly seen in girls between 11 to 18 years of age, particularly within the first 2–3 years after the onset of menstruation.
