Today, I’m focusing on what it means to live with a heavy flow during your period. We discuss how excess bleeding, a condition often referred to as menorrhagia, can significantly impact womens health over a lifetime, including the financial and physical toll.
Understanding your menstrual health and seeking appropriate health education is key when dealing with heavy periods. I explain what it involves but share the common complications you may recognise in yourself or someone close to you.
