Heavy Menstrual Bleeding: What’s the Reason Behind?

## There are many reasons, but it’s all about what your perception of “heavy” is Gynecologists call periods “heavy” if blood loss per cycle is 2.7 oz or more. Household criteria: change hygiene products every 2 hours as well as use a tampon and a pad right away. If the bleeding is heavier than usual, you should see a doctor. It could be many things—fibroids, endometriosis, endometrial polyps, etc. But in half of the cases, it is impossible to find the real cause. The gynecologist will indicate the treatment and prescribe a blood test for iron deficiency, as there’s a high risk of developing anemia due to heavy and frequent blood loss.
