The study also aimed to contribute to the literature by dividing adolescents who had menorrhagia into three groups based on their degree of anemia and determining the etiology and severity of bleeding. Method; The data of 112 women who had menorrhagia during adolescence were retrospectively analyzed. Mild menorrhagia was divided into three groups as Hemoglobin (Hgb) > 12 g/dl, moderate menorrhagia Hgb 10-12 g/dl, and severe menorrhagia Hgb ≤ 10 g/dl. The data were then compared among these three groups. Results; The mean age of the adolescents included in the study was 17.9 ±1.5 years, and the mean Hgb value was 11 ±3.5 g/dl. Mild anemia was determined in 59.6% (53), moderate anemia in 19.1% (17), and severe anemia in 21.3% (19). No statistically significant differences were detected in demographic and clinical data among the three groups we separated based on Hgb values. Factor 8 deficiency was detected in two patients, Glanzmann Thrombocytopenia in one patient, and ITP in six patients. Pregnancy-related menorrhagia was determined in 25% (28). Conclusion; In the evaluation of menorrhagia, which might be detected frequently in adolescence, clinicians must keep in mind the bleeding disorders and pregnancy that might cause it, other than dysfunctional uterine bleeding, and manage this condition in a multidisciplinary manner.
