abstract: Introduction: This study aims to evaluate  the incidence, clinical presentation, etiological factors and treatment outcomes of the patients suffering from puberty  menorrhagia. 
Methods: 65 patients with puberty menorrhagia attending the outpatient as well as indoor department of NRS Medical College, Kolkata during the period from February, 2005 to July,2006 were included in the study. They were prospectively analysed to assess the aetiological factors and the outcome of treatment required to manage these cases.
Results – The incidence of puberty menorrhagia was 9.6% in our study. 40%s patients had menarche between 12-13 years. 61.6% had anovulatory dysfunctional uterine bleeding(DUB). 15.4% had hematological causes. Hypothyroidism, endometrial tuberculosis, polycystic ovarian disease  were other important causes. 40% were relieved with tranexamic acid, 26% required hormone treatment and 35.3% received blood transfusion.
Conclusion: Anovulatory  DUB is the cause of menorrhagia in most of the cases .Medical treatment is mostly effective while surgical procedures are limited to few specific cases.
