Heavy periods aren’t always “just normal.” 🩸🩺 Knowing what counts as heavy bleeding and when to get assessed can help protect your health.
1️⃣ Bleeding lasting more than 7 days, frequent pad or tampon changes, or large clots may be signs of heavy menstrual bleeding.
2️⃣ Ongoing blood loss can lower your iron stores and contribute to fatigue, weakness, dizziness, or feeling lightheaded.
3️⃣ Heavy periods can have different causes, including hormonal changes, fibroids, polyps, certain medications, or other medical conditions.
4️⃣ Tracking your flow, period length, clots, pain, and other symptoms can provide useful information during an assessment.
5️⃣ Severe dizziness, fainting, severe abdominal pain, or soaking through a pad or tampon every hour for multiple hours requires urgent medical attention.
If your periods are becoming heavier or affecting your energy and daily life, book a personalized assessment with our healthcare team. 🌿
