“Common” doesn’t mean “normal.” 🩸
If you’re changing your pad/tampon every hour, doubling up just to leave the house, or bleeding past 7 days — your body is telling you something. Listen to it.
Heavy periods are one of the most under-reported symptoms in my clinic. Women normalize it because their mom did, their sister does, everyone around them does. But heavy bleeding can point to fibroids, polyps, thyroid issues, or clotting disorders — all very treatable once we actually talk about it.
📌 Save this so you have the checklist next time you’re wondering “is this normal?”
