Heavy bleeding — also known as menorrhagia — is excessive or prolonged menstrual bleeding.
Heavy bleeding is generally defined as blood loss during a period greater than 80 milliliters or periods lasting longer than a week.
Now it could be very inconvenient to measure the blood you lose, so other signs to look out for are:
How heavy it affects your day to day life.
Heavy bleeding can cause you to be tired and put you at a higher risk of anemia, which can lead to dizziness, irregular heartbeat, and shortness of breath.
An unusual flow may also interrupt your day-to-day activities due to cramping, tiredness, and having to change your tampons or pads more often.
Quite common actually — especially for women transitioning into menopause.
One study found that among women ages 42 to 52, more than 90% experienced periods that lasted 10 days or more — with 78% reporting their blood flow as heavy.
This is because when women approach menopause, there are fewer eggs to mature in the ovaries. The body releases higher levels of hormones in an attempt to maintain normal ovulation, which produces more estrogen.
These greater levels of estrogen thicken the lining of the uterus, often resulting in heavier, longer periods.
Research shows that ibuprofen, an NSAID, can help decrease bleeding during periods by 20 to 40% and alleviate symptoms like cramps.
However, taking it long-term can cause upset stomach, heartburn, and ulcers. Kidney injury, easy bruising or bleeding, and mild allergic reactions (such as rash) are common as well.
Now, if you want to manage Heavy Periods naturally without resorting to NSAIDs, why not try adding Curcumin into your daily routine?
Turmeric is a spice used in many households that turns a dish bright yellow & elevates the flavor.
But being a star in the kitchen isn’t the only thing it’s good for.
Turmeric has been extensively studied for its impressive anti-inflammatory benefits.
Since turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties, it can help effectively during heavy flow. Plus, it’s a safe ingredient to use, and something that can be used on a daily basis without having to worry about side effects.
Curcumin is just the stronger, standardized extract of turmeric spice, which makes it a popular alternative for managing Heavy Periods.
Provitalize contains your daily dose of curcumin & probiotics, just 2 capsules a day to start lowering inflammation naturally!
Provitalize contains Curcumin, standardized to 95% curcuminoids, which means what you get is only the good, concentrated benefits from turmeric.
Curcumin by itself is not easily absorbed by the body, which is why we’ve added in Bioperine, a patented form of black pepper extract that boosts curcumin absorption by 2000%!
