Heavy periods
If you have to change your pad or tampon every 1 to 2 hours, you have heavy periods.
Heavy periods are also characterised by bleeding for longer than 7 days, or bleeding more than 80ml during menstruation.
You might pass large clots – around the size of a Hong Kong one dollar coin.
Heavy periods are often accompanied by debilitating symptoms which make it hard to function normally, like cramping, pain and fatigue.
Underlying conditions can cause heavy periods, including PCOS, endometriosis, fibroids, pelvic inflammatory disease, and hormonal imbalances.
Having an IUD can also cause heavy periods.
Your mental health impacts your bleed: stress and depression can be a factor.
Our naturopaths can recommend the right tests to diagnose the root cause of your heavy periods.
