Metrorrhagia is abnormal bleeding between regular menstrual periods. Few data exist on the prevalence of metrorrhagia in adolescents. Common causes of metrorrhagia include pregnancy, use of certain contraceptives (especially Depo-Provera) and intrauterine devices, and STIs.
It's a combination of two different conditions: menorrhagia, which is heavy bleeding during your period, and metrorrhagia, which is when your period lasts more than seven days or you have spotting between periods.
irregular menstruation with: lengthened intervals or scanty bleeding (N91. 3-N91. 5)
If your menstrual period is excessively heavy, prolonged, or irregular, it's known as menorrhagia. You should see your doctor if you have excessively heavy or prolonged menstrual periods that interfere with your daily life. Excessive bleeding can cause anemia, or iron deficiency.

Primary dysmenorrhea characteristically begins when adolescents attain ovulatory cycles, usually within 6–12 months of menarche. Secondary dysmenorrhea refers to painful menses due to pelvic pathology or a recognized medical condition. The most common cause of secondary dysmenorrhea is endometriosis.

Menstruation, or period, is normal vaginal bleeding that occurs as part of a woman's monthly cycle. Every month, your body prepares for pregnancy. If no pregnancy occurs, the uterus, or womb, sheds its lining. The menstrual blood is partly blood and partly tissue from inside the uterus. It passes out of the body through the vagina.
General Equivalence Map Definitions The ICD-9 and ICD-10 GEMs are used to facilitate linking between the diagnosis codes in ICD-9-CM and the new ICD-10-CM code set. The GEMs are the raw material from which providers, health information vendors and payers can derive specific applied mappings to meet their needs.
