Heavy Periods / Heavy Menstrual Bleeding

Do you struggle with heavy debilitating periods? Have you noticed flooding and the need for ‘double protection’. Do you feel drained due to your periods and are lacking in energy?

This could be Heavy Menstrual Bleeding (HMB). You may have never sought help for this and assumed this was a normal part of your monthly cycle. Constantly feeling drained has become ‘normal’ for you.

What is Heavy Menstrual Bleeding (HMB)?

Heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia) is excessive or prolonged bleeding that interferes with daily life, often requiring pad/tampon or both (‘double protection’) changes every 1–2 hours. Common causes include fibroids, adenomyosis, hormonal imbalances (PCOS), or intrauterine devices (IUDs), though in about 50% of cases, no underlying cause is found.

Symptoms of Heavy Periods may include some or all of the following:

  • Changing sanitary products every 1–2 hours or using double protection

  • Passing large blood clots

  • Periods lasting longer

  • Symptoms of anaemia, such as tiredness or shortness of breath

  • Bleeding through to clothes or bedding
