Our personalized approach helps restore your hormonal balance and regulate your menstrual cycle naturally.
What Causes Heavy Menstrual Bleeding?
Heavy menstrual bleeding, also known as menorrhagia, can disrupt daily life, causing significant fatigue, pain, and emotional strain. It’s often linked to the uterine lining growing excessively.
What is considered heavy?
Abnormal uterine bleeding is typically defined as more than 80ml per menstrual cycle. If you experience any of the following symptoms, you may have heavy menstrual bleeding:
- Changing your pad or tampon every 2 hours or less
- Needing to change your protection overnight
- Passing blood clots larger than a quarter
- Bleeding for more than 7-8 days
If any of these apply, our naturopathic treatment can help regulate your cycle and improve your menstrual health.
