Heavy periods

A lot of women experience heavy periods, known medically as menorrhagia, and for some, this may be a normal occurrence. Heavy periods can affect anyone who menstruates. If they are interfering with your everyday life, treatment options are available. It's common for periods to be heavier during certain times, such as when you first start menstruating, after having a baby, or as you approach menopause. In some cases, heavy periods can be attributed to specific causes. However, it's important to note that, although uncommon, heavy periods can sometimes indicate womb cancer.
