title: [Update on current care guidelines: evaluation and treatment of menorrhagia].
abstract: Diagnosis of menorrhagia is based on an evaluation of the bleeding volume and its harm to the patient. The appropriate treatment of menorrhagia improves patients' quality of life. Medical treatment, including an intrauterine system (IUS), tranexamic acid, NSAIDs or contraceptive pills, should usually be tried before surgical treatment.
