AI-generated summary
This review highlights that many menorrhagia cases do not involve excessive blood loss, and that endoscopic procedures effectively treat most patients unresponsive to drug therapy, minimizing the need for hysterectomy.

Abstract
The treatment of menorrhagia has changed significantly in two ways. Between 20% to 40% of women complaining of menorrhagia have normal to below normal blood loss and may avoid medical and surgical treatment by learning how to cope with menstrual loss. Ninety per cent of women with menorrhagia not responding to drug therapy can be treated by a wide variety of endoscopic procedures and hysterectomy is required for only a few of these patients. This article reviews the subject with emphasis on current practice and new endoscopic procedures.
