Based on the history, this condition fits more with menorrhagia rather than epimenorrhea.
In menorrhagia, the menstrual cycles remain regular ( between 25-30 days), but the bleeding is excessive or lasts longer than normal.
In epimenorrhea, the cycles themselves are too frequent, occurring every 12-15 days, which is not the case here(this is my consideration)
•In a normal menstrual cycle,
one hormone called estrogen- helps the lining of the uterus grow & become thick.
After the egg is released,
another hormone called progesterone helps stabilize this lining & allows it to shed in a regular, controlled way as normal periods.
Sometimes, egg is not released.
When this happens, progesterone is not produced& estrogen keeps acting alone.
This causes the uterine lining to become overgrown & weak.
Cause it is weak, ( there is no progesterone to stabilize it) this lining starts breaking down, leading to heavy, prolonged bleeding.
Over time, repeated blood loss causes weakness& tiredness
•According to Ayurveda, this condition occurs due to excess heat (Pitta) along with disturbance of Apana Vata, which controls menstruation.
Increased Pitta affects the blood & uterus, leading to excessive bleeding, while disturbed Vata causes the flow to become irregular & prolonged.
