Why is is that mennorhagia is one of the complications of dengue fever?

Menorrhagia, or heavy menstrual bleeding, can occur in dengue fever due to the virus's impact on the body, particularly its effects on blood platelets and the coagulation system. Dengue can lead to thrombocytopenia (low platelet count), which increases the risk of bleeding, including during menstruation. Additionally, the inflammatory response and vascular changes associated with the infection may exacerbate menstrual bleeding. Thus, women with dengue may experience heavier periods as a result of these factors.
