Sick of leaking through your jumbo tampons? Waking up in the middle of the night to change your pad? Discomfort from dampness down there? Constant worry about stains on your mind?
If this sounds like your state of affairs during that time of the month, you’re not alone. According to a study conducted in 2017, 14 out of 100 women have heavy periods, aka, menorrhagia. It’s a condition that causes more than 80ml of blood loss per cycle and is usually genetic.
So, if heavy bleeding disrupts your normal functioning or makes changing pads an hourly compulsion, you’ve got to see a doctor as the symptoms indicate serious health conditions like endometriosis or uterine fibroids involved. However, if that’s not the case, you can focus on the good news that we’re about to share with you.
